Shop Page Key Features
As you shop, take note of the key shop page features that can help you in your journey.
Create an Account:
Creating an account with Cincinnati Dowel offers you personalized shipping solutions tailored to your needs. Once registered, you can save your preferred carriers, ensuring your orders are shipped exactly how you want them.
Below we have outlined the unique features of your personal Cincinnati Dowel account!
Shipping
For larger LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments, we offer the option to ship collect, providing you with more control over shipping costs. For smaller packages, you can easily save your UPS or FedEx account numbers, streamlining the shipping process.
In cases where no specific shipping method is selected, rest assured we will choose the most economical option, adding the shipping charges directly to your final total for hassle-free transactions.
Unlock the convenience of credit terms (in-house financing) by creating an account and applying for our Net-30-day payment terms.
This streamlined process frees you from the need to provide credit card details at the time of purchase. Instead, once your order ships, you'll receive an invoice, giving you the flexibility to pay within 30 days.
To get started, simply fill out and email us a credit application, available on our downloadable documents page. Upon approval by our accounting department, your account will transition from Credit Card to Net-30-day payment terms, making your purchasing experience smoother and more efficient.
Check Order History
You can review your past purchases to easily find the products you frequently purchase.

Stay informed every step of the way with Cincinnati Dowel's order tracking system. As soon as you place an order online, you'll receive an immediate order confirmation email, ensuring you that your order has been successfully submitted. As we begin processing your order, you'll be notified with an 'Order In-Process' email, indicating that your order has been entered into our system and is actively being handled. Finally, upon shipment, you'll receive an 'Order Completed' email, which not only signifies the completion of your order but also provides you with tracking information to monitor its journey to you. This streamlined communication keeps you updated and confident about your purchase from start to finish.
