We also recommend re-naming each file (Example: LeadsMay07.csv). All of
the files downloaded from our website have the same name "Leads.csv". If
you are planning on downloading multiple orders from our website, you will
need to re-name each file to tell them apart.

Click Open and the file should open in your default spreadsheet

Login to your account. Click on **Name of Your Order Here**(Click
to View Leads)
Select one of the three methods for viewing your leads.
The next screen will display a list of leads.
If you do not see any leads on this page, it can mean one of two things:
1) Leads have not been delivered to your account
- or -
2) Your selected viewing method did not include any of your leads. In this
case, click on the View All Delivered Leads link near the top of
the page.
Once your leads are listed, you can choose to download the leads to a
CSV (Comma Separated Variable) file by clicking the Click here to Download
link near the bottom of the page. A CSV file can be read by Microsoft Excel,
Works, or any text editor such as Word or Notepad. If you are using Notepad
to view your leads, you may want to select "Tab" format.

What is "Autoship"?
Autoship is a recurring order.
When you place a new order you will be given the option to select autoship
during checkout. Your autoship will be delivered in the time frame you have
chosen (once a month, every week, every other week, etc). You will receive
the same order and price as your first order. There is no contract or obligation
to stay on autoship. You may cancel at any time.
Note: Coupon discounts may not apply on recurring orders.
Paypal orders cannot be on autoship.
"Once a month autoship" processes exactly every 30 days, so you may not
receive your order on exactly the same day each month, depending on the
length of the previous month (Example: February has 28-29 days so the following
month your autoship will process a few days earlier).

How do I change, hold, or cancel an Autoship?
To place your autoship on hold or cancel, login to your account. Click
on Autoship Manager then Hold Order or Cancel Order.
If your order is placed on hold, it will stay on hold until you return
to your Autoship Manager and click on Activate Order. When
you click on Activate Order you will be given the option whether
to start your order immediately or within 3 days.
To change the frequency in which you receive your autoship login to your
account. Click on View Your Order Invoice History. Select how often
you would like to receive your autoship then click on Change.
*Note: Changes to your autoship settings will not affect the delivery
of leads for an order that is already in progress. If you wish to make changes
to an order that is already in progress please contact customer support.
If you would like to change the type of lead you are receiving on autoship,
you must cancel your autoship order and place an entirely new order through
the website.
