ACCOUNTS & ONLINE ORDERING
How do I make a purchase from Dillon Supply?
We offer two ways to shop, depending on your needs:
- In-Branch (Walk-in): You can visit any of our local branches and make a purchase without a business account. Please note that walk-in customers receive standard retail pricing.
- Online (DillonSupply.com): To place an order through our website, you must have an active Dillon Supply Business Account and a Website Login.
What is the difference between a Business Account and a Website Login?
To shop online, you need both. Think of the Business Account as your foundation and the Login as your digital access point:
- The Dillon Supply Business Account: This is a professional account that unlocks exclusive benefits, including your custom contract pricing, personalized offers, and access to our full product selection (including metals).
- The Website Login: This is your personal online access. It "unlocks" your business account benefits on our site, allowing you to see your specific pricing, track orders, and manage your account settings.
I’m an existing customer. How do I get online?
- If you have a Business Account but no Login: Many of our long-term customers have a branch account but haven't used the website. To get started, please Request Login Credentials here. (Select "Request Login Credentials" in the Subject dropdown menu.)
- If you are a new customer: To order online, you must first apply for a business account. You can apply online here, via PDF, or in-person at a branch. Once approved, we will issue your website login.
Can I check out as a guest on the website?
No, guest checkout is no longer available on DillonSupply.com. While anyone can browse products and view general pricing, you must be logged in to view your custom contract pricing, check real-time availability, and proceed to checkout. This ensures that every online order is accurately applied to your business account.
