Are you having the sentence being entered by the user? So where it says
There are a few getline's I get them confused but I think this will solve your issue.
Please use code tags when you post it makes it so much more readable.
Let me know if the issue is fixed.
cin >> date;??? If so you only get the first word because cin will only read in up until a space. So you need to use getline.getline(cin, fname);There are a few getline's I get them confused but I think this will solve your issue.

i go these down
cout <<"what address do you want to send these items to?" <<endl;
getline(cin, address);
cin.clear();
it lets me run the program but dosnt let me enter in a value
cout <<"what address do you want to send these items to?" <<endl;
getline(cin, address);
cin.clear();
it lets me run the program but dosnt let me enter in a value
Try this funtion, also from iostream
cin.getline(table_of_chars,max_length_of_string)
Like it is skipping it when you are supposed to enter the value? try to throw a cin.get(); before the getline.
