If as a Purchaser you regularly re-order the same group of products, you can do this with just a mouse-click, using shopping lists. To do this just save an existing order as a shopping list for later visits. This can be done directly from any basket page, or from the customer’s “My account” list of old orders. If, later, a re-order is necessary, you can click on the link to “Manage shopping lists” in your “My account” page, and re-order any shopping list. This allows bulk ordering with just a mouse click.

Likewise you can simplify the order process by noting and entering the product order codes in the “Order Form” option on the Home Page. The “My Account” option will also list the product codes for past orders.

Should your order be out of stock, it will automatically be placed on our back order system and you will be advised by email.
