  1. Review your bag
    Once you’re ready to order, select the "View Bag" link in the upper right of any page on the Apple Online Store to review all of the items you’ve placed in your bag. From here you can add or edit gift messaging, gift packaging, and engraving on select products. You can also increase or decrease the quantity you want to purchase. We'll provide you with an estimated time we expect each item to ship from our facility as well as an estimated total, which will include any shipping charges and taxes. If you update your order, select the "Update Subtotal" button to see an updated estimated order total for your bag.
    If there are other items you want to purchase, select the "Continue Shopping" button to add additional items to your existing bag. Or select to "Save for later" and you can come back to view your Saved Bag.
    When you’re ready to buy the items in your bag, select the "Check out" button.
