Great Trains West special edition
Posted by chaya on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 5:41 PM

I got an email advertising a new special edition, "Great Trains West."  I came here and tried to buy it.  Over and over again.  All I get is an error:  apparently I am not who I say I am.  (How can I correct an "error" when no mistake has been made?  It's like an interrogator trying to get me to give up my "real" name).  I tried to call customer service and got put on endless hold.  Are there people all across America trying to buy this edition, failing, and calling in?  Or am I really not who I say I am?

I tried to order on an Andriod tablet, and an Andriod phone with the same problem.  Tried to order on my computer, same problem with Chrome and FireFox. I then tried Internet Explore 11 and it worked after a few tries.

Thanks for the tip.  I had tried Google, Firefox, and IE (a number of times), but after reading your comment I tried IE again, and it worked like a charm.  Great Trains West is on its way, woohoo!
