Is The Listed Price Specific To My Account?

Yes. Once logged into your account, all item pricing is shown specific to your account. If your account has multiple ship-to's (job accounts), there may be different pricing for different ship-to accounts. If your account has multiple ship-to's you can change your active ship-to account at any time in the "My Account" dropdown menu. Be aware that if you have items in your shopping cart or shopping lists, the pricing on those items may change if you change your active ship-to.

What Are Ship-To Accounts? How Do I Use These?

Ship-To accounts are used to set shipping, tax, and pricing information specific to jobsite or stock order scenarios. Some customer accounts have multiple ship-to's and some use only one single ship-to. Ship-to accounts are set up with our credit department. You can't create new, or edit existing ship-to accounts on the online store. Here is a breakdown of different ship-to scenarios and how the online store will handle them:

Accounts That Have A Single Ship-To Account
Accounts with a single ship-to account will see the single ship-to exposed in their account dropdown menu or above the header. The ship-to will be auto-selected on login and checkout.

Accounts That Have Multipe Ship-To Accounts
If your account has multiple ship-to accounts you will automatically be assigned the first ship-to listed on your account on login. If you'd like to change your default ship-to to not be the first listed ship-to, you can do so from the Account Dashboard page by clicking the "Edit Account Info" link in Account Information panel and change your "Default Ship-To".

Customers can change their active ship-to at any time in the Account dropdown menu or above the header on the top of the page. On checkout, you will also be presented with your current ship-to with an option to change ship-to during the checkout process.

Please keep in mind that ship-to's may have different pricing. If you have items in your cart or quick order pads, then change ship-to, pricing may be different.

Can I View My Account Invoice History, Statements etc.?

For users that have access rights to view account information, you can use the website to view your account invoice history, statements, and open orders. This access right is reserved for users with a job title of "Customer Admin" or "Accounting". To view your Invoice History, click "Account Tools" then "My Account" then "Invoices." By default, invoices will show the past 6 months of invoice history. If you need to go back further than 6 months, you can change the starting dates on the invoice history screen to whatever date range you desire. Click the link on a specific invoice to view the order details of that invoice. Once in the invoice detail screen, you are capable of adding individual line items to your cart or there is an option to add all items to cart (this is a great way to make shopping lists). Account statements can be viewed by going to "Account Tools" then "My Account" and clicking "Statements". Here, you'll be able to view your account balance as well as a detailed view of what is in current standing within 30 days, as well as what is overdue 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc. Also in the "Account Tools" "My Account" screen is "Open Orders". This will show you orders that are currently processing as well as the stage of the order such as "picked" or "shipped".
Invoice History can be a great tool to create Re-Order Pads! Often times, you can use past invoices to locate items that you frequently purchase. These items can be added to your shopping cart and then converted into a Re-Order Pad from the shopping cart.

Can I Add Other Company Employees To My Account?

Users with proper access rights have a capability to add, edit, or de-activate users in their company. They are also able to create customer user roles that dictate what an added user will have access to. By default, the first user to register for the site is assigned the "Company Administrator" access right with access to all website features. Adding additional users requires a unique email address and a user role that will determine the user's access rights on the website. Be careful when assigning the user's role because if you assign "edit users" access rights to a user, they will have full capability to delete or edit all employees accounts, even yours! You can access the Customer Admin feature from your Account Dashboard or by mousing over "Account" in the main menu and then clicking on "User Management". Here, you will have the option to create/edit User Roles or add/edit users. When a user is added to a company, they will receive an email with a link to set their password. From there they will have immediate access to the website.

Available access rights on User Roles:

Place Orders

View Open Orders

View Invoice History

Edit Organization Information

Manage Users

Hold Orders

Approve Orders

The two main methods of searching for an item are using the product search bar, or searching by product category. After clicking into a product category or submitting a keyword search, you can then filter down the products by clicking the attributes in the left sidebar. We make an effort to include all stocked items in our online store, however, we have access to hundreds of thousands of products that may not be stocked. If you are unable to find a specific product, please call your branch after submitting your order or enter the item information in the order notes on checkout to add the item to your order. Please keep in mind that there may be additional shipping time or fees when we are special ordering non-stock items for your order..

Can I Order At Different Branch Locations or Heritage Suppliers?

Your account will default to your preferred branch location, but you can change your selected branch by clicking "Change Branch" in the header of the website and select any location from the dropdown menu. When you submit your order, it will be processed at your selected pickup branch. If your order contains items that are out of stock at your selected pickup branch, we will source inventory internally to get the item/s transferred to where your order was submitted. There is no need to submit different orders at different locations to fulfill your order.
