Setting up your Account / Technical Support


How do I create an account?

To create an account, click the "Sign In" button in the top toolbar. Then, click the "Create Account" button and complete the form. If your company currently has an account with Schaedler Yesco, your Web user account can be tied to it. Simply answer "yes" to align your account. Have your company name and account number handy. (You can still set up your user account if you don't know your account number.)

 

I'm a Schaedler Yesco customer, but I want to start ordering online. Do I need to create an online account?

If your company has ordered from Schaedler Yesco in the past, you may already have an online account that is tied to your recent order history. Simply answer "yes" to align your account. Have your company name and account number handy. (You can still set up your user account if you don't know your account number.)  If not, we'll set it up for you!

 

I am not sure that you have an account or whether my account is still active? 

To determine if you have an online ordering account, simply try to log in with your email address and what you think the password may be.  If your password doesn’t work, click on “Forgot Password.”  If you have an account, you will receive instructions to reset your password.  If you don’t get an email to reset the password, you do not have an account and will need to set one up.

 

I received a message that a user with my email address is already registered on SYDIST.com. How is this possible?

If you received a message that your email address has already been registered, you may have a pre-existing account with Schaedler Yesco that was automatically created to transition you from the old system to our new system. Enter your email address for username. To retrieve your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the Sign In page. Your new, temporary password will be sent to the email address associated with your account. You will be prompted to choose a permanent password upon your next login. ** Use caution.   If your company uses a group email, be sure you review the password change with your group. 

 

Why am I having trouble signing in? 

You may be pre-registered as part of the transition from the old system to our new system. Try the "Forgot Password?" and "Forgot Username?" tools on our Sign In page. If you still need assistance, please contact our Technical Support team.

 

I forgot my password. What do I do?

If you've forgotten your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the Sign In page. A new, temporary password will be sent to the email address associated with your account. You will be prompted to choose a permanent password upon your next login. 

 

I forgot my username. What do I do?

Your username is the email address associated with your account.  If you don’t know the email used with your account, please contact our Technical Support team.


I am locked out of my account. What do I do?

If you've received a message that your account has been locked, please contact our Technical Support team.

 

How do I change my password?

To change your password, select Account Settings from the My Account drop-down menu. Choose Change Password above the password field. Enter your current password and new password in the appropriate fields and click the Save button immediately below.

How do I stay logged into my account?

When you go to the sign-in page, there will be a check-box titled "Remember Me" that you can select. Check that and sign-in and moving forward you will be able to avoid having to sign-in each time you visit the site. 

 

Who do I contact for website technical support?

Placing an Order Online


Is your available stock updated in real-time?

How does Quick Order work?

If you already know your products' part numbers, you can check out even faster with Quick Order. Use Quick Order to build a list and add all of your products to your cart at one time. Go to Quick Order here or in the navigation bar. Enter your first part number in the search bar and click Add to Quick Order. Continue until all products have been added to your list. When you're ready to check out, click the "Add All to Cart & Check Out" button. 

 

I need to get my order approved before I complete it. What is the best way to do this?

Order Approval is not currently part of our system, but it will be soon!  In the meantime, you can save your items to a list and share your list.

 

Is there an easy way to place repeat orders?

Yes!   For items that you order frequently or together, you can create a List and name it.  When you want to order the items on your list, simply open the list and add them to your cart.

 

Can I submit all my lists to a cart?

Yes.  You can add items from your lists to your cart by opening each list and adding the items to your cart.  There is no option to add all lists to the cart at one time.  Note that there is a 500 line item limit per checkout.

 

I routinely buy a product from Schaedler Yesco, but it's not on the website. How can I order it?  

If you've purchased a product from Schaedler Yesco in the past but can't find it on our site, you may need to sign in to your account to locate it. If you still don't see your product after signing in enter a search term into the Search bar.   If the system doesn’t return a result, you will see a No Product Found screen. Use this form to share the details of the item.  When you place your order, it will be submitted as a bid and our Inside Sales team will research the item and get back to you.

 

How do I request a quote?

To request a quote, submit your cart as a bid with instructions in the comments section. You may also contact our Inside Sales team for assistance.

  

Can I order from multiple branch locations?

You can order from any branch by selecting a pick-up location during ordering. However, please note that you cannot order from multiple branches on the same online order. Depending on where the inventory is located, your delivery may have a delay. If you need assistance, please contact our Inside Sales team.

 

I have items in my cart, but I'm not quite ready to check out. How do I save this order?

To save an order for later, go to your shopping cart in the top navigation bar. Click the "Save Cart" button. When you're ready to place this order, go to Saved Carts. Your order will be saved by date. Click on the appropriate date to view the Saved Carts Details page. Then, click the "Place Saved Cart" button at the bottom of the page.  Carts cannot be named, but do include a date/time stamp.  Lists CAN be named and saved.

 

Can I get a shipping estimate?

If you need a shipping estimate, please submit your cart as a bid and request a shipping estimate in the comments section.

 



Pricing and Payments

 

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards.  We also offer account credit.  Please complete the credit application if you don't already have an account.  We do not accept PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, etc.

 

There is a payment authorization hold on my credit card, but I haven’t received my order. Why?

When you place an order using your credit card, the system will automatically contact your credit card company for a preauthorization of the amount you have charged.  The actual charge to your card is not made until the order is marked as shipped.   Depending on when you ordered, if you have backorders or other delays, this may not happen for a day or more. 

 

How can I update the address or expiration date for my credit card?

Make sure you have Credit Card chosen in the Payment Method drop-down. Click the small icon titled Saved Payments to view a list of cards that were entered in the past. To modify an existing card, choose the card you'd like to edit and select the modify button to edit the expiration date and/or billing address.

 

Why don't I see my pre-negotiated pricing?

If you have account pricing but don't see it on our website, sign in to your account. Your unique pricing only displays when you are signed in. If you sign in and still don't see your pricing, please contact your Schaedler Yesco Sales Rep or our Inside Sales Team.

 

How do I place an order and use a terms account to pay?

If you already have a terms account with Schaedler Yesco, log in and proceed through checkout. On the last page of checkout, choose "Charge to Account" from the drop-down box under Payment Details. If you are new to Schaedler Yesco and would like to request a terms account, please visit our Credit Application page.

 

My company is tax-exempt. How do I notify Schaedler Yesco?

The tax amount will be refunded to your account or credit card, as quickly as your bank will allow, upon receipt of the certificate. If you haven't placed an order yet, email your tax-exempt certificate and tax ID to [email protected]. Please allow 24-48 hours before placing your tax-free order. We will save your certificate and attach it to your record for all subsequent orders. Click here for tax exempt certificates.
