Using the Shopping Basket

Once you have added your products to your Shopping Basket, and you are ready to check out, select the basket icon at the top of the page.

Note that wherever you are on the site, at the top of the page, VWR.com provides a snapshot of the total items in your Shopping Basket. Click the "i" button for a closer look (doing so will open a small window; your current location on the site will not change).

What if the Shopping Basket isn't showing Contract Pricing and Availability?

If the Shopping Basket isn't displaying each product's contract price and availability status, select "My Account." Then, under "Account Status," select the following link: "send another request to be approved for Pricing and Availability." Enter your organization information, then click "Submit."

Can I select a more concise view of my Shopping Basket?

Yes, the "Collapse All" link on the Shopping Basket page allows you to collapse the table and view only items you've added to the basket. This view also shows the product's availability, your contract price, and an "i" button that, when selected, displays the estimated shipping date and the location from which the item will be shipped.

What should I do before selecting the "Checkout" button?

Confirm that the correct VWR Shipping Address is listed above your Shopping Basket. If the correct address is not listed, select "Change shipping address for this site visit," then select the correct address. If the address is not available for selection, please add the shipping address in My Profile.

If your organization requires you to enter accounting data and/or any line comments, enter the data in the appropriate fields (or select from the pre-populated data in the drop-down menus) before selecting "Checkout."

If you are entering the same Line Comments or Accounting data for all products in the basket, you can check the "User for All Items in Basket" option, and the information you provided will be copied to all other lines in the order.

How do I save the items in my Shopping Basket as a Shopping List?

At the bottom of the Shopping Basket page, under Shopping Basket Management, select the "Save as a Shopping List" link.

On the Save Personal Shopping List page, select the quantity for each item. Then, indicate whether the items should be saved as a new or exising list. If new, give the list a name. If existing, select the existing list name from the drop-down menu. Click the "Submit" button.

How do I share my Shopping Basket with someone?

At the bottom of the Shopping Basket page, under Shopping Basket Management, select the "Share Your Shopping Basket" link.

On the Share Shopping Basket page, enter the receiver's e-mail address and complete the other fields, then click the "Submit" button.
