Do I have to register?
No you do not have to register. Doing so, however, will save you time the next time you order from us. <TOP>


What is a USERID?
This is an abbreviated way of identifying you, the shopper.  Your USERID and password can be anything.  To complete your on-line purchase, we send an order confirmation to the email address associated with your USERID. <TOP>


What do I do if I forgot my password?
Simply enter your Login ID (see below), and click the "Please Email My Password" button and click the "Login" button.  You will get a message confirming that the password is on its way to you.  Within moments you can check your e-mail to retrieve your password. <TOP>

 


Is it safe for me to pay by credit card over the Internet?
Absolutely. Manta provides a safe and secure shopping environment.

Safe - Most consumers are unaware that it is statistically safer to use your credit card over the Internet than in traditional stores and restaurants. These businesses use a multiple copy sales draft, which requires your signature. Employees then have access to not only your credit card number but your signature as well. In contrast, Internet transactions are performed electronically without multiple sales drafts, making your purchase safer.
