Problem ordering a book from Lulu

I wrote sometime ago about a friend in the US not being able to order my book.  They have tried all their credit cards and still cannot get past the add to cart stage.  I was told to sort out the cookies etc which I was told they did but still they cant get it.  Why is it so difficult to order from Lulu.This is what they followed:-

 

1. Click the 'Add to Cart' button on the item's detail page to purchase an item.
2. Add or delete items in the shopping cart and click the 'Continue Shopping' or 'Checkout >>' button.
3. Add a shipping address then click the 'Save & Continue >>' button.
4. Select a shipping method by clicking on the desired method then click the 'Save & Continue >>' button.
5. Select your payment type and fill in the Billing address if necessary then click the 'Save & Continue >>' button.
6. Review your order for any errors and change them if necessary then click the 'Place Order' button.
7. If paying with Paypal you will be sent to the paypal

They also dealt with this:-

Not allowing Cookies can have that effect(not allowing you to order on line )so can some firewall settings. Also IE Temp folders need to be emptied often.

HELP I MAY BE LOSING ORDERS cos people arn't patient

Re: Problem ordering a book from Lulu

I am sure some of our more knowledge people will contact you but it sounds to me, you need to contact support or, when it is on, get on to Live Chat by clicking the Help button on the top right hand corner of your My Lulu page. They are very likely to be able to sort it out, but, as I said, someone from the forum may be able to help you. Good luck.

Re: Problem ordering a book from Lulu

It's not just Lulu. I get this when trying to order train tickets and other items, for example. The company and the bank blame each other. As for PayPal, my card no longer works with them and they are unable to give an explanation. They just say change the card number. I have to ask my sister to pay (and reimburse her) if I want to order from some places! Again, no idea why. As Ken says, try different browsers and normally I would say different cards.
