Overnight Ship an Item
The shipping method you select at checkout pertains to all of the items in that order. If you require overnight shipping on a select item, place a separate order and choose the overnight shipping method for that order. You can contact the supplier for an estimate of overnight shipping costs. Once you have placed your order, you may change the shipment method by contacting the supplier directly.

Cancel an Order
Most orders placed through eBuy enter the shipping process quickly so we can get your items to you as soon as possible. If you need to cancel an order, please contact the supplier representative to determine if your order has shipped. If your order has already shipped, you’ll need to initiate a return once the item arrives. If your order hasn’t shipped, you can ask the supplier representative to cancel your order.
Change an Order
Before the order has shipped, you may reduce quantities of items ordered by contacting the Procurement Help Desk. Orders that have entered the shipping process cannot be modified, but if necessary, you can initiate a return once the item arrives.
Return an Item
Returns of stocked items (non-customized products) in their original packaging must be initiated within 30 days of receipt. See our Returns page for details on how to file a return.
Check on Missing Items
Suppliers sometimes split orders into multiple shipments if the items are being shipped from different fulfillment centers. If you are missing an item from your package, check the packing slip to verify that all the items in your order were shipped together. To obtain assistance with missing items, please contact the Procurement Help Desk.
Return Damaged Items
If one or more of the items you ordered arrives damaged or does not work properly, please initiate a return.
Non-Catalog Orders
If you can’t find an item in eBuy but know that a supplier provides it, please see our handy Non-Catalog Order Supplier Guide for each supplier’s instructions on non-catalog orders. You can find additional instructions on placing a non-catalog order for GSS suppliers within the GSS Catalog under the Orders menu.
Order Business Cards
Laboratory business cards are available via the Staples by Guy Brown catalog. If you need to order business cards, please see our handy Order Business Card Guide for instructions on how to place a business card order.
