America’s Future Blog

In the interest of improving our website, America’s Future is currently working with programmers on making dozens of upgrades.  While not everything we are adding will be visible to customers, you can be sure it will benefit everyone in the long term.

Just a couple of new options customers will have is a printable catalog page, that can be sorted by product title, model number or price.  This module is currently available, but modifications are in process to make it more user friendly, and provide more information for your use.   We have also added a new search function that will improve search capabilities over time, as we will be able to implement options that take into consideration common spelling errors and punctuation, so your search will be as accurate as we can make it.

We are also testing our our updates to the shipping modules, which will allow customers to choose the Media Mail option for orders consisting of books, cds, dvds and charts.  Another benefit will be new programming that will allow us to designate free shipping on specific products, such as product bundles or software.  Third, we have our programmer working on the free shipping over $150 that has been sporadic at best over the last few months.  These recent updates should make your shopping experience stress free, and hopefully help stretch your education budget when shopping for media products only.

Our new ‘Contact Us’ page will allow you to leave a more detailed email, and can automatically insert your name and email address if you are logged in, as well as allowing you to specify an order number and choose from a variety of drop down menu choices to make your email stand out.  You should always feel free to email us at any time, but this new function will help us forward your concern to the best person for the job.

Last, but not least, you will soon be able to choose to call in your credit card if you are not comfortable leaving payment details online.  When processing your payment, you will just need to click the radio button for will call, and the order will be put on hold until your payment details have been processed.  This option will be available by the end of the week. 

There are many other new capabilities being added such as new newsletters, increased search speed, suggested matching products, new information pages, and customer review options, just to name a few.  You can be sure that your shopping experience with America’s Future will be a pleasant one!
