How can I check to see if you have parts in stock?

To check if a part is in stock, log into your account and go to "My Account." Select "Check Stock" and enter the part number and quantity you are looking for. Click "Check Stock" to see the item's availability at your primary branch and other Dixon locations.

 

When I’m checking stock, why am I getting a “Call Dixon” message?

There could be several reasons for this:

  • The product requires special handling or assembly
  • The selected product is a “special” non-catalog or non-stock item that requires assistance (eg accessories, specialty gaskets)
  • The quantity entered may be out of bounds for the existing parameters for an online query

 

Is there a way to save time when entering repeat orders?

To reorder, log into your account and go to "My Account." Select "View Your Orders & Invoices," then click "Closed Orders." Find the order and select "Add to Quick Orders." Name the order, add notes if needed, and click "Save." You can also save an order for reorder during checkout on the "Checkout Complete" page.
