You can search by SKU by entering any part of a product number. We will respond with any/all products that meet your selection criteria. In almost all cases, these equivalent items are the same in form, fit and function as the one you searched for and will most likely be at a substantially lower price. We always provide a Search box located near the navigation menu on right side of your screen. Simply enter anything you want and we will respond will all products that meet your selection criteria. The system has most products identified by keywords and we search those keywords as well as all of the information associated with a product that relates to your selection criteria. We suggest that when you do not know the entire product number that you enter whatever information you do have.
  • I've used the search feature, but I still can't find what I want. What should I do?

  • Do you charge sales tax?
    • Because Internet vendors are required to collect sales tax in any state where they have a physical presence, we must charge sales tax in those jurisdictions. Sales tax does not currently display as part of the order total on your online receipt. Our online ordering software may have this capability in the future.

    • In addition to accepting payment by check in thirty (30) days, we accept payment with VISA/MasterCard, American Express and Electronic Funds Transfers.

  • Why do I have to enter my P.O. # when ordering online?
    • Purchase order requirements are set by your company, not by Quality Express. If you do not use purchase orders, you will not receive an alert. Purchase Order numbers can be entered in the Purchase Order Number Field when checking out. For companies that require a PO number when placing an order, you will be alerted in the checkout process that one is required to complete the order.
  • How can I change my online Shipping Information?
    • To ensure the security of our customers, at the time of checkout, Quality Express makes available only those shipping locations that have been approved by your company over the phone or via email with us. If you would like to add a shipping location, simply fill out required shipping information. Quality Express will verify that the shipping address is valid and add it into our system, so next time you log into our website to shop, you should see your new location.
