Frequently Asked Questions

You apply to become a web customer here. There are two different types of account you can apply for, a credit account, or pay in advance account.

A pay in advance account allows you to see price, stock and lead times, as well as placing orders via card payment. 

A credit account allows you to see price, stock, lead times, and place orders using either card payment or credit.

You can find more information about our accounts here, or contact us if you have any more questions about our customer accounts online.

Yes. 

Each customer (company) account with us can have multiple users, as each customer (company) with us has a customer number this can be used to link users to a company. Each user will have their unique log in. When applying it can be decided which users require different access (price, stock and place orders or price and stock only). The users will be linked using the customer numbers so shipping and invoice addresses are available at checkout. 

As an existing customer you can apply for an account here.

However, you will need to apply for an alternative delivery address. You can do this by logging into your account and filling out the form here, or by contacting us.

Once you are logged in, you will see your unique price (including any discounts set up against your account) and our current stock level or lead time for anything available to buy on the web. If you cannot see a price or stock level, unfortunately, the product is not available to buy online and you will need to contact us for a quote.

If you have a part number which you cannot find on the website, that you want to order, you can always try to use our "Quick order" in the shopping cart.

If you are logged in, prices for all purchasable items are displayed. The prices you see are the gross price and your current discount along with net price. Gross price, along with your discount and net price, VAT, and total order value, excluding delivery are all shown separately in the shopping cart for clarity.

When paying by card for online orders, shipping cost is dependant on order value: 

Your shopping cart is saved on your user, which means that you can work with it on several different devices without losing information.

You can also save your shopping cart as an order template.

Put the desired items in your shopping cart and then click on "Save as order template" when you are in the shopping cart. Enter the desired name for your template and press "Save shopping cart as template". You will then find your saved order templates under ‘My account’ and ‘order templates’. There you can easily add or delete items and duplicate the order template or place the order template directly in the shopping cart.

In the event of receiving a damaged parcel or damaged goods. 

Please immediately report the issue to the delivery driver, take photos of the damage and make a note on the paperwork before signing for receipt.

A new addition to our website is the ability to create a ‘favourites list’. Here you can store multiple items, you can add items to your favourites list by clicking the star icon next to the desired item number. Once an item is added to your favourites you will find the same icon at the top of the page, next to your account/ log in, from here you can adjust quantities, add comments, and even share your favourites list. 

Favourites list functionality is available to both logged in and not logged in customers, the only difference will be that logged in customers will be able to view price and stock levels on items in their favourites list.

You can also send the whole list to us to request a quote, by pressing ‘request quote’ once you are on your favourites list, fill out the required details and we will get back to you as soon as possible with your quote.

If you chose to share your favourites list with someone, a link will be generated when you press share on your favourites list. Use this link to share your favourites list.

If someone shares their favourites list with you, when you click their link, a pop up will show you their list, you can save the shared list to your own by pressing ‘save to my list’. Please note: this will override anything currently in your favourites list.
