distribution location

When we remove a distribution location that person now has no distribution location selected, supposedly it is called NONE.
From what I see if that if that person places an order and does not select a distribution location than the order is cancelled.
Is that designed that way?
If so is there a better way to (more obvious) way to let them know that their order cannot go through if they don't select a distribution location.
Thanks

    There is nothing in the system that will automatically cancel an order for any reason.

    Can you give me more info? Names, order numbers, etc.?

    Hi Eric,
    It did it for the third time.
    One of my customers Jeanette Farley wants some brochures and some
    information to use to help find us a new distribution site. (The person
    that oversaw their distribution site had a job change) So as a reminder to
    myself I was placing an order for her for free brochures/a packet for her
    to take to a business. There is no price on these things. Each time at
    the checkout I change to her name, I do not select a distribution site for
    her and than I select place order now. After that at the top it says all
    items have been removed.
    Is it because there is no cost to the free brochures?
    I thought it was that no distribution site was selected. I have had
    customers in the past just request free brochures and the order went
    through.
    Thanks
    Marian

    I'll look into this further. When you order in someone else's name, the system has to merge your shopping cart with their shopping cart, and that can be dicey. That's what's going on here -- the merge couldn't happen for some reason. If they order themselves, this won't happen. I'll see if I can see exactly what's going and, if nothing else, offer a better message.

    Hi Eric,
    I did place two orders for other people and they worked fine. One was for
    Sharon Aliff and another was for Patricia Aldrich.
    It seems to only be a problem when I'm placing an order for someone who
    wants brochures about CSA Farmers Market, which we don't charge for.
    I appreciate your looking into this.
    This last order cycle we had two customers whose order went through twice.
    It was odd.
