This the latest step in our mission to enhance eBuy for our customers.
Where to Find the Cylinder Pickup Request Form
- On the eBuy Landing Page, please identify the Shop by Section on the left side and hover over ‘Supplier’.
- A pop-up window opens. Please click on ‘View all Suppliers’.
- You will see a list of all eBuy suppliers. Please click on ‘Government Scientific Source’. On the next screen, click on the blue ‘Buy from supplier’ button.
- The GSS catalog will open. Please click on ‘My Account’ next to the shopping cart symbol.
- A new window will open with a link to the ‘Empty Gas Cylinder Pickup Request Form’.
After you have completed the form, affix a label or printout of the cylinder pick-up confirmation onto the cylinder/dewar (for easy and visible pick-up without covering the supplier labels).
Next, place the cylinder/dewar within the designated area of the building cage for empty cylinders. If you have questions about your building cage setup, please contact your Building Manager listed here.
