How to Buy Online from the Inside Gateway Online:
Items that can be purchased online will have a "Add to Cart" or "Pay Now" button to the right of the item description and price.  Clicking the button will add the item to your cart and redirect you to "Your Shopping Cart".  From your shopping cart, you can proceed to check out or continue shopping.  Online orders and payments are processed through Pay Pal.  Orders are normally shipped within two to three business days. 

We make every effort to be fully stocked for items offered for sale online but we have had some availability problems with DCC and some other manufacturers.  Some items may be offered for sale on a "Special Order" basis. These items may take several weeks to ship.  If you have a concern over availability, please use the contact information listed below to confirm stock status.
