Q: I forgot a part number on my order; can you add it for me?

A: Typically, yes as long as the order hasn't left the warehouse yet. E-mail the information to eshop@rbcbearings.com and we will make the change and confirm back. Or you can call RBC Customer Service at 800-356-6584.

Q: How do I know that my Will Call order is at the correct warehouse?

A: At the checkout screen 3 choices are available, CA, IL, and TX, select the location you want to ship from. If something is not available, a CSR will contact you to figure out how you would want the remainder of the order to ship.

Q: Do you have a quick order entry selection, like the old e-Shop?

A: We don’t currently have a way to add multiple parts to your cart at once, we do however have a favorite parts list, which will allow to catalog your frequently order parts for quick find. We are hoping to build something that will allow for multiple part entry in the next phase of our website.

Q: Can I print invoices directly from the website?

A: Yes, all your invoices that you have entered on the new site or placed conventionally in the past are available for print online. Any invoices, from the old e-Shop would require a call to customer service for duplicate.

Q: What does “Plant Inventory” mean?

A: That is inventory that is not at one of our 4 distribution center, but it is available for purchase. This stock may take an extra day to ship as the plants typically have shorter shipping hours. If you need to know where the plant location is, please contact customer service at 800-356-6584.
