3. After clicking Availability, select the day you wish to pick up the item. Keep in mind that tech must be picked up the first day of the booking.
Note: You may only select a day if it is green.

4.Once the first day of the booking is selected, scroll down to the bottom of the page to view the details of the booking.

5. Select the date you want the item to be due.

Note: The due time will be set based on Loanable Technology Desk hours and is not able to be customized by the user.

6. Select either "Add to Cart" or "Add to Cart & Checkout".
Add to Cart: Select this option if you have more items you want to pick up on the same date as the current item.
Add to Cart & Checkout:  Select this option if this is the only item, or the final item in your booking.
