Why are windows and doors not available for online ordering?
We are working hard to make all of our products available for online ordering. Because windows and doors require a great deal of customization, we only provide overview information in the form of PDF documents or links to the manufacturer's order systems at this time. Please visit or contact your local branch to place an order for windows and/or doors.
From the search results, related products, or shopping cart pages, you can click on the product name to view more information about an item. The product detail page displays the following additional information (if it is available):
- Product Image(s)
- Description
- Specifications
- Colors
- Unit of Measure
- Price
- Availability at your current branch
If a product is available in more than one color, a drop-down menu will appear on the product detail page indicating the color options by name. When you change the selected color in the drop-down menu, the price will update accordingly.
What units of measure are available for the product I’m viewing?
If a product is available in more than one unit of measure, a drop-down menu will appear on the product detail page indicating the units that are available. When you change the selected unit of measure in the drop-down menu, the price will update accordingly.
If I have a price plan on my account or ship-to account do I see that price in LansingNOW?
Yes, your specific pricing for your customer account or ship-to account is the pricing that is displayed in LansingNOW. If you do not have a price plan, you will see the list price.
What is "Current Branch"?
Based on your account, a default store location has been identified as your current branch. Your current branch location is displayed on the top navigation bar, and it can also be seen on a product detail page near "availability". This is used to determine stocking and pricing information for the products you are viewing. When you submit an order request, it will be sent to the branch that you’ve identified as your current branch at the time of submission.
Can I change my Current Branch?
If you are located in an area where multiple Lansing branches operate, you can change your current branch by clicking on the branch icon at the top right corner (or in the menu navigation on mobile). Details for your current branch will be displayed, along with other available locations. You can scroll through the locations or use the search bar to enter a town/city name. Simply select the new branch to make the change. If you already had items in your shopping cart, pricing and stocking information will be updated accordingly.
How can I determine whether a product is available at my Current Branch?
There are three possible availability indicators, one of which is displayed for every product on its product detail page, the shopping cart, and when viewing a materials list:
- Available – The product is available at your current branch.
- Available with Lead Time – The product is normally available at your current branch but currently has a lead time. Upon ordering, your Lansing Branch will contact you about the expected lead time.
- Special Order – The product is not stocked but is available by special order. Lead times can vary depending on the vendor. Upon ordering, your Lansing Branch will contact you about the expected lead time.
Please note that Lansing makes every effort to display accurate availability information. However, stress on the supply chain or other unexpected factors can affect our information. Your Lansing Branch will contact you with full details on any items that will not be available by your desired delivery date and time.
What are "Frequently Bought Together" items?
When you view a product detail page, you may see a list of related products at the bottom of the page. These are products that Lansing has identified as frequently being purchased with the item you are viewing. Click on an item to view more information or simply add to your shopping cart.
