Ordering

How can I load items into my cart with a spreadsheet?

Using a simple excel template, you can load up to 100 items into the shopping cart. 

Here is the template to load items while in the cart: Download Excel Template


You can also export any shopping cart that you’ve already built so it can be used or adjusted and brought back to the cart later! The Excel export button is located at the bottom of the cart.

When do I need to get my order in to have it ship today?

Orders entered by 4:00PM ET each business day ship that day

How do I know if a product is in stock?

Once logged in to your account, stock levels are available to view on the product page and in the basket. Should you order an item that is out of stock a lead-time will be displayed on screen.

How can I choose a future shipping date for my order?

You can set the request shipping date for all items at once by using the date selector at the top of the shopping cart.

The request shipping date can also be set for each item individually by using the date selector displayed on each line.

Hint: If you would like to set items to ship complete, or when available, this can be done from the shipping page during checkout.

Can I choose between having items ship as they are available -or- all at once?

Either of these options can be selected in the shipping page during checkout.

How can I apply my PO number to an order?

A PO number can be applied to each item individually inside the shopping cart. To apply a PO to all items at once, you can skip updating PO numbers in the cart, and apply a single PO number to the order on the shipping page during checkout.

If you would like to apply item level PO numbers and also have an overall reference on the shipping page, all info will be retained and shown on your confirmation and invoice.
 

How can I select or change my shipping addresses?

On the shipping page during checkout, you will be shown a listing of all the shipping addresses available to you for selection. You are able to add a new address on the shipping page of the checkout, and also in the Preferences area in My account.

Website Questions

How do I create additional co users to my account?

As the main user for your account, you’ll be able to add additional co user(s) to have access: After signing in go to ‘Preferences’ and select ‘User management.

Adding a new user is as simple as clicking ‘Add new user’ and then filling in their details. Notable options for the co-user setup are:

  • Ability to place orders: Yes or No
  • Pricing shown: Can be configured based on needs

Once set up, an email is sent to the address that you set for the co user. The co user will need to open that email and follow the instructions to set their own password. After doing this the co user will be able to sign in to hafele.ca.

Side note: While signing in the co user will need to check the box 'Log on as Co-User'.

I can't sign in, what do I do?

If you have co-user access and your credentials aren’t being accepted, try logging in as a co-user by ticking the ‘Sign in as co-user’ box at the top of the Sign in/Register screen. This will ask for your account number, user name and password. The admin user for your company can help you recover your sign in details.


If you are the admin user and are having issues, use the forgotten password area, contact us here, or phone us at 800-423-3531.
 

Where can I find my wish lists?

Your wish lists are within the 'My Account' section and are only visible if you are logged in.

Where are my saved addresses?

Your saved addresses can be viewed on the shipping page during checkout, or through the My Account section of the site. A default shipping address can be assigned in this area.

Where can I report any issues I am having with the website?
