2. How do I place an online order?

New Customers:

New customers must establish an account with Restek prior to making a purchase. Accounts will be set up initially as credit card only, but you may apply for credit terms after registering.

Note that a W-9 and a business shipping address are required to establish an account.

Existing Customers:

If you have previously ordered from Restek via phone or email and wish to place an order online, an account registration is required. Registration takes only a few minutes.

3. How do I use the Shopping Cart?

The Shopping Cart allows you to modify your order (add Order Notes and Product Notes; adjust quantities) and then place your order or submit a quote request. You may also save your Cart.

Items can be added to your Shopping Cart in two ways:

  1. Search or browse the product listings, then click the “Add to Cart” button on the product page.
  2. Use the “Quick Order” feature located at the top of each web page. Enter the catalog number(s) and the desired quantity, and then click “Add to Cart”.

4. How do I Check Out?

When you are ready to place your order, go to the Shopping Cart and click the “Proceed to Checkout” button. Note that you must be signed in to do this. If you don’t have a login, you can create one in a matter of minutes.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for online orders. If credit terms have been established for your customer account, we will send you an invoice.

5. How can I submit a Quote Request?

During checkout, you can place a Quote Request rather than an order to confirm pricing and availability before committing to the purchase by doing the following:

  1. Add your item(s) to the Shopping Cart.
  2. Click the “Request Quote” button.
  3. An acknowledgement will be sent to you within one business day.
  4. When you receive the acknowledgement, be sure to note the Sales Quote ID. You will need it later to complete your purchase.

6. How can I view my Order History?

You can view your previous order history by signing into your account and selecting "Hello, [First Name]" at the top of any webpage, then choosing “My Account” and "My Orders". Your previous order history will then be displayed.

Note that this view will only display orders placed via the website.

7. How can I change or cancel an order?

To Add Items:
  • Option One: Place a second order online with the additional items only. Note, this will create a separate order with its own invoice and will incur separate freight charges.
  • Option Two: Contact Customer Service by phone or email to revise the existing order. Note, this can only be done if your order hasn’t shipped.
 
To Cancel an Order and For All Other Changes:
  • Please contact Customer Service by phone or email. DO NOT SEND THE ORDER AGAIN. Doing so will result in a duplicate order being processed and may result in additional invoicing and freight costs.

10. Will my discount be applied?

Yes. You will be charged the same prices online as when ordering by phone. If you require price confirmation via email, request it in the “Add Note” field of your Shopping Cart. Alternatively, you could also submit a Quote Request.

11. Where is the “Proceed to Checkout” button?

If your shopping cart does not show a “Proceed to Checkout” button, online ordering is not available in your region. Please use “Request Quote” instead.
