1. Find the Items You Want to Buy

Browse or search for the items you would like to order. Keyword search boxes are located on nearly every page of our site. You will also find links to browse lists and more detailed product-specific searches in the top navigation bar of each division. When you find an item that interests you, click the title or name or images of the item to view its Product Detail page. Here you will find more information about the selected product, including an availability estimate of how long it will take before the item will be ready to leave our fulfillment center.


2. Add the Items to Your Shopping Cart

While on the product details page, select the size (if applicable) in the dropdown box, and click on “Add to Cart” button. Once you've added an item to your Shopping Cart, you can continue to search or browse the site until your Cart contains all of the items you want to order. You can access the contents of your Shopping Cart at any time by clicking on “View Cart” at the top right corner of every page of our website.


3. Proceed to Checkout

Take a moment to review all of the items you've placed in your Shopping Cart.

You can do the following with items in your shopping cart:

• Increase or decrease the quantity you want to buy by changing the number in the Qty. box and clicking the “Recalculate Shopping Cart” button at the top of the Cart.

• Remove an item that you don't want to purchase by selecting the “remove from Cart” check box next to the item and then clicking the “Recalculate Shopping Cart” button at the top of the Cart.

• Hold items in your Cart if you prefer to wait until another day to buy then as a registered customer whatever you add to the Cart is saved and not removed for 30 days or until it goes out of stock. Items in your Shopping Cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on the item's product detail page. Please note that this price may differ from the price the item held when you first placed it in your Cart.

• Apply discount coupon - If you have a MasalaToys discount coupon that you would want to redeem, enter the code provided and click on the “Apply Coupon” button before you proceed ahead.
