Seeing Double or Triple

I tried using Walmart's website to download some photos for reproduction. I have done this many times and have also run into trouble many times if I try to print off too many. Yesterday, was a troubled time!

I went through the same steps I always do but for whatever reasons this time, I uploaded the same pictures three times.


 Don't ask me how. It just seemed that they were not uploading and I was in the same place as when I started. In the end, I had 48 pictures uploaded and I believe I only wanted 18. By the time I got to the last step of 'cropping' the photos, I realized I was cropping the same photos three times! Then to try and backtrack which photos were duplicated was a process in itself. Up and down the page I went trying to 'delete' the second and third copy. It took me long enough in the first place to decide WHICH photos I wanted to print off and then I had to go up and down the page, trying to recall which photos were still duplicated or triplicated (if that is a word)!!

I realize it is only 19 cents a copy but it was the point of it all. I did not want or need triplicates. I thought I had removed the duplicates or triplicates but by the time I went to Checkout, the number they were charging me for was still the same! Not sure how that happened. Finally, I just deleted the whole thing and got out of the website. What a waste of time!!  Today, I will take my memory stick over to Walmart and do the whole thing again. Maybe it will work better there.
