Can I use more than one promotion code?
No. We can only honor one promo code per order. However, you may use different promo codes in separate orders, so you if you have a code that offers a larger discount for a specific item, you may want to place a separate order for that item. In most cases, the promo code discount will apply to the original product price. The cart will always provide the best possible price when you use a promo code.
