How to create an order:


  1. Click on "Create a Quick Order" on the "Order Center" page.
  2. If you have authorization to place orders for multiple locations or recipients, verify and/or modify your address information. If you need to make a change to your address, click the "Modify Address" link, edit the address accordingly and click "Next".
  3. Your Cart is now displayed with a number of empty lines. Type in the product number for each product you wish to order in the fields provided. (Disregard punctuation marks when entering product numbers; i.e. "27,856-4" should be entered as "278564" etc.) Click on the "Get/Confirm Pack Sizes" link.
  4. Your Cart will be redisplayed with a product description for each line and dropdown list of package sizes and prices. If the product is only sold in one package size, it will automatically be selected and no dropdown will appear.
  5. Select the appropriate package size from the dropdown list, enter the Quantity desired if other than "1", and click the "Get/Confirm Pack Sizes" link. NOTE: The Quantity field will always populate with a default of 1.
  6. Your Cart will be redisplayed again with pricing and availability for the items you've entered. From here you may select the Shipping Method for the order. Shipping costs will be recalculated automatically upon changing the shipping method.
  7. If you are using a Purchase Order Number for your method of payment, type it into the Purchase Order Number field and click the "Submit Order" link. If you are using a credit card for your method of payment, click the "Next" link to access the Billing and Payment Information page. Enter your credit card number (omit any spaces or dashes), select the card type and expiration date and add your Card Member Reference Number/Card Holder Name if applicable. Then click "Next" to proceed.
  8. The "Checkout" page displays a summary of all the information you have provided so far. You have not yet submitted the order. If everything is complete, click "Submit Order" to submit your order and view the Confirmation page. If you need to modify the order in any way, click the "Return to Shopping Cart" link to return to your Shopping Cart and make your modifications.
