How to Shop and Place an Order on Garlic Gourmay

Garlic Gourmay is a specialty food retailer that has been selling garlic-mixed spices, sauces, olives, mushrooms, and infused olive oils for more than 25 years. You can order through its online store, or, if you prefer not to buy online, by phone. The site accepts most major credit cards and debit cards. The steps below cover browsing, adding items to your cart, and checking out.

Before You Start

• A web browser and an internet connection are all you need to browse. You can add items to a cart and reach checkout without an account, though the site does show a "Sign in" option if you want one.
• Payment: the site states it accepts most major credit cards and debit cards.
• If you are not comfortable shopping online, the site explicitly invites you to browse the catalog and phone your order in directly.

Step 1: Browse the Store

The catalog is organized by product type rather than by one long list. From the homepage you can jump into a category, for example:

You can also open any product's detail page for a fuller description, pricing, and reviews. For example, the Olive Oil Mix Pack is listed with 9 reviews, and Jalapeno Stuffed Olives (32 oz.) with 10 reviews.

Step 2: Add Items to Your Cart

On a product page, choose the quantity you want, then select Add to Cart. After adding, the page gives you two options:

• Continue Shopping — returns you to browsing so you can keep filling the cart.
• Checkout — moves you forward to complete the order.

Some products have options rather than a single price. The Gift Card, for instance, is offered in $10, $25, $50, and $100 denominations, so you pick the value before adding it. Note that availability varies: Jalapeno Stuffed Olives 32 oz. is currently shown as Sold Out, so it can't be added to a cart.

Step 3: Check Out

When you're ready, go to checkout. From there you review your cart, enter your payment details, and place the order. The site describes the online store as using current technology to provide a simple, secure shopping experience. If you have an account and sign in first, your information carries into the checkout flow.

If You'd Rather Order by Phone

Garlic Gourmay states that customers who are not web-savvy, or who are uncomfortable making online purchases, can shop the catalog and phone their order in directly. This is a genuine alternative, not a fallback for problems only — it's offered as a normal way to buy.

Common Snags

• An item won't add to cart. Check whether it's marked Sold Out, as the Jalapeno Stuffed Olives currently are.
• You can't find a price. Products with choices, like the Gift Card, show a starting price ("from $10.00") until you select an option.
• You're unsure about payment. The site's own statement is that it accepts most major credit cards and debit cards; if your card is declined, phoning the order is the documented alternative.

What You Can Buy

Beyond the categories above, the store also carries gift cards and a rotating set of featured products. The site also publishes a recipe book and a show schedule if you'd like to see the products in person before ordering.
