Creating and Managing Quotes

Our Quotes feature makes it easy for you to create a Quote (without needing to pay) and then return later to either edit the Quote or to convert the Quote to an order.

Please note: These Instructions apply to Quotes submitted 8/14/18 or later.

Using Quotes is great when you need to get approval for your order from a manager, committee, or other stakeholder first before placing an order. Quotes include any applicable taxes and actual shipping costs as well, giving your management a complete accounting of the planned order.

To create and save a Quote:

  1. Login to your account. If you don’t have an account, create one.
  2. Go to the product page for each desired product, select the style and quantity and then click on the “Add to Quote” button. In the drop down, choose to add to an existing Quote or to create a new Quote. If you add to an existing Quote, you will be taken to the Quote which will include the product you just added. If you create a new Quote, you will be asked to give the list a Title and to choose whether to make the list shared or private. If you choose shared, you will be given an URL on the Quote page to send to others. Click “Create List”.
  3. Continue adding all the desired products to your Quote.
  4. Once you have finished adding products, choose your shipping option on your Quote by clicking on the “Select Shipping Option” dropdown. The shipping cost will be added to your Quote. At the bottom of the Quote, the shipping costs are listed for each option.
  5. To print your Quote, click on the “Print Quote” button.

To submit a quote for approval:

There are two ways to share your Quote:

  1. Print your Quote from the Quote page and send the Quote to your manager OR
  2. Share a URL: When creating your Quote, select “Shared” under Privacy Settings. Once the Quote is created, a Quote URL appears below the Shipping Address on the Quote. Copy and Paste that URL into an email to be sent to your manager.

To edit a Quote:

You can remove or add new items to your Quote or change the quantities.

  1. Click on “My Account” in the main menu
