ELDCPS Store
Welcome to the Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society Online Store
One of the primary forms of fundraising for ELDCPS is merchandise sales. The majority of our sales come from our online store, and we continue to improve our store to make it easier for our customers to shop. After receiving a lot of feedback and suggestions, we are proud to announce a comprehensive upgrade of our online store.
While the design and function is very similar to our existing store, there are additional features that make the new store more user-friendly.
When browsing the store, our customers can now create a wish list of items that they are interested in. This wish list can be accessed by friends and family who might be looking for the perfect gift. Customers can also transfer items from their wish list to their shopping cart for purchase.
The new store will now make suggestions based on the item a customer is purchasing, referring customers to any similar items which would go with the item being purchased. For example, if a customer was to buy a Krusty Korn Kob mold, an additional bag of mix will be suggested. Using these suggestions, we hope to insure that every customer gets what they need, as well as increase overall sales.
Most importantly, the new store now enables customers to add an ELDCPS donation to their purchase. With the old store, we could not do this because the amount of the donation would be figured into the shipping cost. With the new store, only tangible items incur shipping. In addition to standard donations, the online store also features our special donations, such as naming programs and our Passenger Club.
When it comes time to make a purchase, we have added two new payment methods. While we have always accepted credit card payments through PayPal, we now accept direct credit card payments using Visa, MC, Amex and Discover. We also now accept ELDCPS Gift Certificates, which can be purchased in any amount from the new store. We continue to accept PayPal, checks and money orders as well.
As our merchandise selection continues to grow, we feel that we now have in place an easy method to make a purchase, as well as donate to our project.
If there are any questions about our new store software, please don't hesitate to contact us using the link in the lower left hand corner. We will respond to your question as quickly as possible.
Thank you for visiting our store, and thank you for supporting The Lake Cities Project and ELDCPS.
Special Note : Returning customers will have to create a new account with the store. Due to compatibility issues, we were not able to transfer the old customer database to the new software. We apologize for the inconvenience.
