Placing an order
Once you have added any items to your basket, you can select Delivery or Click and Collect. To complete a purchase a reference is required (if you don’t use official purchase order numbers it can be a date or unique customer identifier like the house number and road name). The system will not allow any duplicated references.
Select the delivery address from the drop-down choices available, or create an address as shown below (selected accounts only). If creating an address please ensure you click the orange ‘create address’ box.
Select CHECKOUT to complete the order with payment (cash accounts) or Invoice (credit accounts).
My account area
The 'My account' area is available at the top of the website. Once you access this area, you can navigate through to access your online account
- Overview - This gives you a brief overview of your account.
- Statistic - Here you can see a view of your spend by Week, Month or Year applying the filters to suit your requirements. This information can then be exported into CSV or XLS files for your records. It’s a handy tool to have if you want a visual overview of your spending with us.
- Orders & invoices – Use this area to view Orders Awaiting Approval (if relevant), Pending Orders, Settled Orders / invoices and Outstanding Invoices by clicking the drop-down arrows next to Pending orders.
- Order lists - This feature can be used to create a list of products for you or your web login users to select from and set budgets. For example a Budget, middle and top range of products
- Fastorder – This feature can be used when you know the model number that you wish to purchase but don’t want to have to travel through the whole site. Brilliant for customers who regularly order the same items. You can add any product by typing the first three or more letters of the model number or you can import a list using a CSV, XLS or XLSX file.
- Product numbers – If you have your own SKU codes you can save them here against our product codes. Perhaps you have a range of goods you use for particular customers so could label these to match ie John’s washer attached to BCH-WAN28081GB.
- Ordered products - Gives you an overview of previously ordered products.
