You apply to become a web customer here. There are two different types of account you can apply for, a credit account, or pay in advance account.
A pay in advance account allows you to see price, stock and lead times, as well as placing orders via card payment.
A credit account allows you to see price, stock, lead times, and place orders using either card payment or credit.
You can find more information about our accounts here, or contact us if you have any more questions about our customer accounts online.

Each customer (company) account with us can have multiple users, as each customer (company) with us has a customer number this can be used to link users to a company. Each user will have their unique log in. When applying it can be decided which users require different access (price, stock and place orders or price and stock only). The users will be linked using the customer numbers so shipping and invoice addresses are available at checkout.
As an existing customer you can apply for an account here.
Yes.
However, you will need to apply for an alternative delivery address. You can do this by logging into your account and filling out the form here, or by contacting us. Once you have completed your order you can choose which address your order should go to. You can also view your addresses under ‘my account’ and ‘address details’. If you need to remove an address, please contact us by phone or email.

If you have a part number which you cannot find on the website, that you want to order, you can always try to use our "Quick order" in the shopping cart.

A new addition to our website is the ability to create a ‘favourites list’. Here you can store multiple items, you can add items to your favourites list by clicking the star icon next to the desired item number. Once an item is added to your favourites you will find the same icon at the top of the page, next to your account/ log in, from here you can adjust quantities, add comments, and even share your favourites list.
Favourites list functionality is available to both logged in and not logged in customers, the only difference will be that logged in customers will be able to view price and stock levels on items in their favourites list.
You can also send the whole list to us to request a quote, by pressing ‘request quote’ once you are on your favourites list, fill out the required details and we will get back to you as soon as possible with your quote.
If you chose to share your favourites list with someone, a link will be generated when you press share on your favourites list. Use this link to share your favourites list.
If someone shares their favourites list with you, when you click their link, a pop up will show you their list, you can save the shared list to your own by pressing ‘save to my list’. Please note: this will override anything currently in your favourites list.
