I have forgotten my password, what should I do?

Some of my details are incorrect, how do I get these corrected?

If you notice any incorrect details showing in your account, please contact your nearest sales office with your account details and any required amendments.

How can I order full boxes or cartons?

When viewing a product page the quantity in the table next to the add to basket button is the minimum that can be ordered.

In the case of screws and other such fixings, these may show a quantity of e.g. 100 or 200. This is how many are supplied in a single box and ordering multiples will result in full boxes, for example if the quantity is 200 and 1,000 are ordered, five full boxes of screws will be delivered.

If full cartons are required, the carton quantity which may be displayed on the product page in the table needs to be ordered, for example if the quantity is 200 and carton quantity is 18,000, two full cartons will be delivered, which would make a total of 180 boxes of screws.

My prices appear incorrect, what should I do?

Should your prices appear incorrect please contact your area sales representative.

I would like to place a forward order, can I do this?

Yes, it is possible for you to place a forward order e.g. submit the order this month for dispatch and invoicing in the following month.

To do this, please build up your order as normal and at the delivery stage of checkout, add into the 'Special Instructions' box the following text "Order to be dispatched in [month]" where [month] is the next month from when you are submitting the order.

These instructions will be visible to our warehouse team who will prepare your order but not dispatch or invoice until the month you have stated.

Is it possible to upload an order file to your website?

Yes, it is possible to upload an order file to the website - when you are logged into your account this is done from the basket.

The file you create should contain two columns - one for the 9 digit Product Code as printed in our catalogue and on our website (it must have the hyphens '-' between each group of 3 numbers), the second with the desired quantity that you wish to purchase. The file should be saved as a .CSV.

Simply click the 'Upload CSV' button in the basket, locate your .CSV file, click on it and then click 'Open'. Assuming the file has been correctly created, all of the products will then be automatically added to your basket with the required quantities.

If you find that not all of the products have been added, please check the product codes in your file for missing hyphens '-', numbers or it could be that some of the products have since been discontinued.
