3 Browse and Search From anywhere in our catalog, you can easily browse product by keyword search (above) or category browsing (left). Let s start with a simple keyword search for elbow You ll notice that I immediately have real-time access to pricing and availability for items that display. But, since elbow is a pretty vague query, I ve not quite found what I m looking for. For assistance please ecomm@galloup.com, or give us a call at Page 3 of 7

4 There are three basic options for refining your results: Refine by Category, Keyword Filtering (search within results), or Refine by Attribute. Let s explore these methods. 1. The simplest option is Refining by Category. I might select Fittings, followed by Pipe Fittings and Copper. At this point I ll be looking at copper elbows. Much more specific! 2. Filtering by keyword(s) is another way to go. This is like a search within results option found on other sites. You might add further description ( 90 degree or copper ), or even a negative qualifier ( not grooved ). 3. When you want to narrow your results based on a product specification (size, material, schedule, etc), you might try Refining by Attribute. Simply use the drop downs to select an attribute value (such as SIZE), and click the Refine by Attributes button. From the results page, you can add individual or multiple items to your cart by simply inputting quantities and clicking the Add to Cart button at the bottom. If adding only one item, you can alternatively use the Add to Cart link on right. Or, click on the part number or image to view additional information on the product.

5 Item Detail Page Once you ve found the item you are looking for, you ll find a wealth of additional information on the item detail page: Features to note here: Product Information. You ll notice immediately that you have access to: Real-time availability by warehouse; datasheets and manuals; extended product information; additional images. (Availability of some content will vary by product) Ordering Options. Adding to cart is (again) as easy as inputting a quantity and clicking the button. Not sure if you want this in your cart just yet? Use the Recalculate button to find out extended totals for your quantity. Or, click the Shopping List drop down to add to a shopping list for easy access later (Your Shopping Lists will appear on right every time you login).

6 Shopping Cart & Checkout When you add an item to your cart, you are taken to the Shopping Cart page. You can also access your cart at any time by clicking the icon at the top of the screen (by the search button). Here you can edit quantities or remove product before proceeding to checkout. Or, use the Create Shopping List button to put your in-cart items into a new list for later. Ready for checkout? Just click the Proceed to Checkout button. On the checkout screen (illustrated on the next page), fill in the required (*) fields and hit the applicable button to place your order, submit quote, or save for later. Submit Order immediately creates an order in our system, which will be reviewed and printed at your local Galloup Warehouse. Submit Quote will generate an actual quotation in our computer system.
