You need to register at our store and create an account for yourself. Once your account has been created, you can input the coupon at the checkout page. If you already have an account with our store and it’s still not working, it’s possible the coupon has expired. Before you finish checking out, if you go to My Cart then My Shopping cart, you will see a space where you can add the Coupon Code. Apply the code in this space, if it does not apply to your order it may be either expired or spelled incorrectly.
