Registered At CFS Yet? Using My Account Makes Reordering Super Quick

Registration will allow you to store your billing and shipping info on your own account.In the past, the most requested feature we get from repeat customers on www.cfsbinds.com is the ability to store billing and shipping addresses. Back then the account registration feature offered by our e-commerce host is clunky and just does not meet our level of standards for what we want to offer our customers. Well, that’s all changed!

It was September of 2013 when we went live with our new MyAccount login system. But what exactly does it offer? As a CFS customer, you can register your billing and shipping address details to recall them all with only your email address and a password. You’ll be able to see your order history as well as a list of all the items you’ve ordered in the past. Perhaps the best feature of all: you can place a new order by just checking off the items from your list – making reorders of binding supplies, covers, etc. super quick! Plus there are no more codes to remember – once you are logged in, you’ll see your Frequent Buyer discounted pricing across the whole site as well as in your cart. If you have a tax exempt or resale status with us, you’ll also see the the the tax removed from your orders.

Like most robust ecommerce sites: if you can’t remember your password we have a ‘forgot my password‘ feature that automatically helps you get back into your account within a few seconds.

Click the image above and watch the video below to see My Account in action including the Order History and Quick Reorder screens.

If you have registered and can’t seem to access your account or just need all around help with it, we are here to help, just contact us.

Where’s My Stuff? Enhanced Order Tracking Now Live!

New Order Status feature - click to see a sample.I’ll admit it, I order plenty of stuff online from ecommerce websites, eBay, Amazon and plenty of others and I enjoy the convenience that online shopping offers. It seems like (in most cases) I come away with the same question – no matter whom I order from: “When will I get my order?” Eventually I may get an email that states something about an expected ship date,  later I may see another email that gives me my tracking number. Ideally, I want to be able to check up on my order and track it any time that I want to.

At CFS, we want to offer the same order details that we like to see when we’re shopping for orders. So, we’re proud to announce that we have added a new, enhanced Order Status feature on our website!  You can check the complete details of your order and track your items online. It’s just as simple as typing in your zip code and the last 5 digits of your order number.

This is just one of the many new features that we’re adding this month – all focused on making cfsbinds.com quicker and easier to use for you when shopping for binding supplies.

Do you have a feature in mind that we could add to our website – something that makes it easier and quicker for you? Let us know in the comments below, we’d love to hear from you!

Martin Yale’s 1812 Is A Giant Among Tabletop Folders

Sep26

martinyale-1812-paper-folderDo you need a really big paper folder for really big sheets? Okay, in the desktop finishing machine world, a ‘big’ sheet is just 12 x 18 inches, but a tabletop folder than can handle a sheet that large is hard to find. It used to be that tabletop paper folders would max out at 11 x 17 inches. The advent of larger digital duplicators has created the need for a large sheet size a bit bigger – and this has been addressed this with the Martin Yale 1812 Autofolder.

While it’s rare to see a folder this size at less than $3000, it’s even more surprising to experience about the ease of use and quick setup that the 1812 folder provides. It’s a very universal procedure on most paper folders to adjust the feeding mechanism when switching between different thicknesses. On this folder, there is no adjustment needed, just load your sheets into the feed tray and dial in the settings on the two fold trays – then press start. with 4 selectable speed settings, the 1812 will precisely and quickly fold your job at speeds from 3,000 to 15,000 sheets per hour. 

Do you have a special folding need? Got any questions about paper folders? We want to answer them, so ask away in the comments below or feel free to contact us.

One Stop Help & Learning: The Resource Center on CFS Binding Supplies

cfsbindinghelpHave you ever wished that you could just have someone show you how to do something rather than just reading about it? Personally, I know that I can learn something much more efficiently if I see it happen rather than reading a series of procedures from a manual or a webpage. YouTube videos have been a saving grace for me and have practically become my first go to for researching. That was the inspiration behind our CFS Resource Center that we display on many product pages across the CFS Binding Supplies website.

In the Resource Center we show you how it’s done. You can watch several of our tutorial help videos on how to operate and setup binding machines. Are you new to a specific type of binding supply? No problem, we give you access to overview videos that show you how each binding method is performed.

One of the things I like to do when considering a new equipment or software purchase is to download and browse the operator manual to get a sense of what I have to expect. The Resource Center has those too for several machines.

For binding supplies, we have given you one click access to capacity charts that show you the maximum number of pages and the largest thickness for each size.

And to keep in the spirit of showing you: watch a video walk-through of the CFS Resource Center.

Can you think of more help that you’d like to see on the site? Or perhaps any other ways that we can help you online or offline? Let us know in the comments below – we’d love to hear from you.
