The Formulary's Shopping Cart?

[dancqu]

Have any made use? New to me and need some
supplies. Credit Card or PayPal? How long have
they had the Shopping Cart? Dan

Do you mean that you have never purchased anything from Photographers' Formulary and you are thinking about doing so?

I have made several purchases using a credit card with no problems. Very reliable.

Save for white vinegar, used in compounding the
HT-2 test solution, I order all my chemistry from
the Formulary. A little chemistry does me a long
time. I'm very frugal in it's usage and have too
little time available for darkroom work.

For myself the Formulary is an only source. As
well as the usual large quantities they do sell
small quantities. IIRC my few years ago order
was by mail with check. Dan

I don't know how long they've had the shopping cart, but I too have ordered from them online with a credit card with no problems. I believe they have a phone number you can call during business hours if you'd like to order from a person. -Laura

Just call their toll free # and talk to Sherry. She will get you set up. I get my Baryta paper there and a few other things.

Dan,

I don't know how long they have had the Shopping Cart but it is used like a food store cart in that you store things till you're ready to check out, that may be in an hour or tomorrow or next week. When I order with credit card I purchase at the same time I am picking off the shelves.

I know Freestyles' shopping carts are emptied after a couple of weeks of not purchasing. That may be the same at PF.

Dear Dan,

I have used the shopping cart and paid by credit card without issue. I have no reservations about using their system.

It doesn't stay in the cart after you log off. I talked to someone in Seattle who knew the web designer of the site.

I've an account at Freestyle. My latest shipment
maybe a month ago. For years I've had a separate
bank account I call my E account. Protection against
identity theft. Funds can be transferred into that
account on a minutes notice then forwarded. At
least I think it provides more protection.

I also have a PayPal account. Usually less hassel
than using a credit card. APUG uses PayPal. Dan

No Glycine Then No S&H

Placed an order with the Formulary
then found out; NO S&H. My E account
had the funds to cover the Glycine.

Sodium carbonate anhydrous. Where's
the mono-hydrate? Dan

The mono they have, 1lb 7.95. The anhydrous, 1lb 4.95.
Take away the H2O and the mono is nearly twice the price.
Perhaps it was PE who mentioned some reason for the mono
being so much more.

As for shipping, it is somewhat confusing. At checkout, 0 USD
though they do have a shipping rate schedule. My order has
shipped with no S&H charges. An internet order. Dan

There Are S&H Charges.

The S&H charges showed up with the shipping invoice.
I'll have to take my mortar and pestle to the KBr. Dan

I designed their website, probably 4-5 years ago. The reason we can't calculate shipping on the site is because of the complexity due to potentual hazmat charges.

We have a new site for them that will remember your shipping info and can handle inventory. We are just waiting for them to get all their items added in (which is a big job for Sherry with how busy she always is.)

FYI, about New Years, their old hosting provider went out of business and we had to do an emergency move to another hoster. Thus all the down time at the first of the year.
