I finally found what the problem was. After you install this plug-in you MUST go to your permalinks page and click save again. This will update the permalinks created by the plug-in.

fist thing in the readme file
Extract the zip file and upload the contents to the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the plugin from plugins page.
The plugin registers a new custom post type, so you’ll want to update your permalinks. No need to change your permalink structure, just go to “Settings->Permalinks” and click “Save Changes” without making any modifications.
Would be great to mention this in a place a bit more obvious. I know, we all should read the readme :p Still took me 30min to find the solution to the problem.
Awesome plugin by the way.

like the installation page?
http://wordpress.org/plugins/grid-products/installation/
its already there. would be great if you read the read me or install page
what would be a better spot?
I have been using wordpress for almost 3 years. I only go and read the install page or the read me file IF I am having problems. ALOT of times I come to this website and do searches most of the time first. That is what a number of new users do. That is why I made my post so people would see it if they searched for it.
IMO the best place to put a little note is on the settings page where you have the shortcodes. Just a little reminder to people to go to their permalinks page and just click save again.
This is a great plug in and I was just putting the tip out there. It also allows you to use other carts and they do not conflict. So I can have product that just has pricing, but you can not order and then you can have merchandise to sell at the same time.
