A Quick Start Guide to Online Ordering

As you go through this training information, please note there are some
specific details that you need to be aware of in order to successfully
submit an online order. Below is a list of these points:
Your username and program code and password are the same! (see slide/page 5)
•You must go to Order Option & select SCHEDULER prior to placing an order (see slide /page 8
• When selecting items for your order you will need to click on “add to cart” for each page
before moving on to the next page. Failure to add items from page one to your cart before
moving to page two will result in the loss of those items. You will need to go back and re-select
those items and add to cart before moving on. (see slide/page 8)
 When entering information into the “my appointment” box you will need to enter information
from left to right. If it is entered out of order it will not be accepted and you will have to re-enter
the information. (see slide/page 10)
In AgencyExpress 3 you will be required to enter a time, which must be selected from the drop
down menu of options. (see slide/page 10)
 The deadline for Online orders is before 12:00 PM two business days before pick up or
delivery. This means that orders should be submitted in time to reach us before 12:00 PM.

You will be able to add to your order until the status changes to “Food Bank Only” . (see
slide/page 13)
Please note that adding to your order is different than how we added to our order
previously. (see slide/page 13)
 While most online orders will be available to add on to within 30 minutes of your initial
order, some orders may require additional assistance from a Food Bank employee to
move through the system. Because of this you may experience a delay between
submitting an order and being able to add on to that order online. (see slide/page 13)
There will be no need for email confirmations because you will be able to track the
status of your order right on your screen! (see slide/page 12)
Maximum lead time for placing an order is 14 days. The schedule will not allow
orders for more than 14 days out.
