Account FAQ's
How do I register for an online account?
Click "Sign In / Register". Then select “Register”. If your company is an existing customer of record (your company has a Graybar Account Number), select “YES – my company already buys from Graybar”.
What is the difference between an Individual and a Company online account?
There are two types of online accounts for Graybar’s eCommerce site: Individual and Company. These two have different features, policies and terms. The main distinction is that Company Accounts have an existing Graybar Account Number set up with their local branch. When reading these FAQs, be sure to look for the information that applies to your type of account.
Individual Accounts
- Single login associated with all orders and payment information.
- Payment by credit card only
- No special shipping, catalog, pricing, or other terms.
Company Accounts

- The company’s established contract terms will apply to online purchases.

- Additional account features include shared Favorites lists, Quick Order, Quote Orders, and the ability to back-order.
- You must log in to the site to view company pricing and availability.

Address Book
Individual Account users: to access your Address Book, sign in to your account and select “Address Book” under “My Account”.
To edit and add new addresses, select the drop down and view them by nickname.
Select “Add New” to add an address. Select “Submit” or “Save Changes” to save your changes.
Tip: Always include a nickname to identify your address. This will help you quickly identify your address. This will help you quickly identify which address you need for different projects or shipping locations.
To remove an address, click “Delete Address”.
Your default profile address will always be the one listed under your account email address. This address cannot be removed, but can be edited.
Company Accounts do not have an address book. Instead, Company Accounts have a list of the company’s approved Ship-to addresses. Contact your local branch or give us a call to edit this list
Favorites List
Creating lists of favorites can be helpful for many reasons, especially if needing to purchase the same items on a regular basis.
Accessing Favorites
To access “Favorites,” sign in to your account and select “Favorites” under the “My Account” drop-down menu.
Creating a List
To create a “Favorites” list, select the “Create List” button and give your list a name. For Company Accounts, lists can be set as private or shared with the company. Only the creator of the list can delete it.
Uploading a List
You may also upload a previously created list. To do so, select the “Upload List” button, select “Browse” to locate the CSV file and select “Upload.” In the event an item could not be added, it will be noted in the log once the file has finished uploading.
Pasting a List
To create a list using the paste function, copy the list of items you wish to add, select “Paste List” and paste the items into the text box. You will be notified if an item cannot be added and must correct the list before it can be created. Choose if you’d like the list to be private or shared and click “Save.”
Managing a List
From the “Favorites” page, you can add a list to your shopping cart, duplicate it or delete it by selecting the gear icon. Details of a list can be viewed by clicking the name of a specific list. Once a list is created, you can add and remove items, edit quantities, add the entire list to your shopping cart or select individual items to add to your cart.
Order History
The Order History page lets you view orders placed under your account and provides detailed information on order status, order date, shipment and proof of delivery.
To access the Order History page, sign in to your account and select “Order History” under “My Account”.
Once you have reached the “Order History” page, you can filter by date range, order status and order type. Select the “Search” button to see a list of orders based upon your filtering choices.
Details of each order can viewed by clicking “Customer Order #.” Select “Printable Version” to print order information or select “View Tracking & Invoices” to view delivery information.
