Website FAQ

Need Help Getting Started?

We've combined our website and customer portal into one seamless experience, making it easier to view pricing, request quotes, place orders, and manage your account online. Whether you're logging in for the first time, looking for pricing, requesting a quote, or placing an order, you'll find answers to the most common questions below.

Accounts & Login

Questions about creating an account, signing in, and managing your access.

I'm a returning customer. How do I log in?

If you previously had an account on our website or customer portal, simply select Forgot Password to create a new password for your existing account.

I already have an account that I use over the phone or in-store. Do I need to create an online account?

Yes. To access your account online, you'll need to create an online login using the Create Account option.

Once your online account has been created and linked, you'll be able to access the same account you use when purchasing over the phone or at your local Industrial Metal Supply store. Your account information, pricing (when applicable), quotes, orders, and invoices will all be connected in one place.

I never had an online account. How do I get started?

Select Create Account and complete the registration form. Once your account is created, you'll be able to request quotes, view pricing when available, and manage your account online.

Can I use the same login for the website and customer portal?

Yes. We've combined our website and customer portal into one experience, so you'll only need one login going forward.

My email says it's already in use. What should I do?

Each online account requires a unique email address. If your email is already registered, use Forgot Password instead of creating a new account.

Pricing & Ordering

Learn about pricing, online checkout, and requesting quotes.

Why can't I see pricing?

Pricing is based on your selected store location and, for many customers, account-specific pricing. Be sure you've selected your preferred store and are logged into your account.

Why don't I see my special pricing?

Your customer-specific pricing will automatically display after you sign in. If you believe your pricing is incorrect, please contact your sales representative.

Can I order everything online?

Many products are available for online checkout. Some orders require review before purchase due to:

  • Custom cuts or processing
  • Shipping requirements
  • Large order quantities
  • Specialty products
  • Other business rules
What's the difference between Checkout and Request for Quote (RFQ)?

Checkout allows eligible orders to be placed immediately online.

Request for Quote (RFQ) sends your cart to our sales team for pricing, shipping, or order review when additional assistance is needed.

My Account

Access your account information, quotes, invoices, and order history.

Will I be able to see my previous orders?

Yes. Once you're signed in, you'll be able to view your available order history, quotes, invoices, and other account information.

Can I download quotes or invoices?

Yes. Quotes and invoices are available within your account when applicable.

Orders, Pickup & Delivery

Learn about pickup options, delivery, and preferred store selection.

Can I choose my preferred store?

Yes. Your preferred store can be changed at any time and determines available inventory and pricing.

Can I pick up my order?

Yes. Eligible orders can be placed for Will Call pickup at your selected location.

Do you offer delivery?

Delivery options are based on your location and order requirements. Available fulfillment options will be presented during checkout.
