Elements of the Shopping Cart - (New!  Items Previously in Your Cart and  Enhancement to Recommendations)

The shopping cart components show the title, item price, shipping price, condition, shipping method, seller id/feedback rating.  Also seen are links for “Move to Wish List”, “Remove From Cart”, and “Change Shipping Method”.  An Order Summary will update the entire cost of the order automatically as items are added or removed from the Cart.

New to the Shopping Cart/Checkout process is the elimination of the Recommendations page as a separate page between your Cart and Checkout. Recommendations on the new Cart page will now be visible on your shopping cart page giving you the ease of shopping while in your cart without having to browse further!  Recommendations are based on items currently in your cart, Wish List items, and purchase history. Simply click on the Buy button and the item is added to your Cart. Your Cart summary will always show to the right of the recommendations on the new Cart page.

NOTE, once the cart item is edited, the Standard Cart view will be shown.

Also new to the Shopping Cart page is our “Items Previously in Your Cart” section which will act as a placeholder for ease in navigating back to that item. Here members can find up to 100 items previously in their cart as long as they were signed into their account at the time of the Cart action. (Note: Items can be placed in your cart independent of sign in, however they will only be saved to your Previously in Cart section when signed in.)

Remember that items in your Shopping Cart will have a time out limit of 60 minutes after your last visit before being returned to inventory. This helps make sure that the items you and others are looking for are in stock as often as possible. If the time limit for reserving the items in your cart has passed, you can find them in the “Items Previously in Your Cart” section (you may have to login to see all your items). From here, you can either purchase the exact items (if they are available), or see similar items. You can also add them to your Wish List to monitor their availability and price. (Note: Items in the Previously in Cart section are not reserved for you until they are placed in the shopping cart.)

How do I save on Shipping buying Books, Music, Movies, and Games?

You can save on shipping by simply adding more than one item to your shopping cart from the same seller. If you have one item from that seller in your cart already, you can click on the sellers name or statement "buy more from this seller" next to the seller's name to see what other items the seller has available. By combining more than one item from the same seller, you will be charged a reduced shipping fee.

Find another one

Within the Shopping Cart, you can click 'Find another one' to go back to the Item Detail page for the item you are looking for. From here, you can select more of the same item!

Checkout Options

There are two ways to check out at Half.com:

• Speedy Checkout allows you to specify a preferred credit card and shipping address. Clicking Speedy Checkout from the Shopping Cart causes your preferred setting to be used to ship your order. It is the fastest way to check out, and is great when the majority of your orders go to the same place and are billed to the same card.

• Standard Checkout will ask for verification for both the credit card and shipping information. In either case, Half.com asks you to verify your password and user name to ensure privacy and security.

Changing the Shipping Method

If a seller offers more than one shipping method, the 'Change Shipping Method' link will appear beneath the item and shipping costs. Click the 'Change Shipping Method' link to specify a different shipping method for the item. Please note that changing the shipping method will change the Shipping & Handling total in the Order Summary.
