HOW TO USE THIS WEBSITE
Finding Products
The Green Stationery Company has a unique range of Green and recycled stationery products that are displayed online through its Green Catalogue. To search the Green Catalogue and find products we use a category system. Hover over the main category descriptions on the top navigation bar, drop downs will then appear to show more detailed product categories. Select a category that is the closest fit to the product you want, this will then take you to a sub category where you can see products more closely related to the item. Selecting the sub category will then take you to a product list where you can click into the product you want to get its complete details and place it into your shoping cart. You can always return to the upper category levels by using the HOME button at the top of the website. There are over 1,000 items in our Green Catalogue that cover most of the everyday office stationery usage and our Green Products always have the best prices and discount offers.
An alternative way of searching is to use the search box top left on the Home page. This will search our Green Catalogue plus the standard office stationery catalogues which contains 20,000 items. If there are Green products available for you search term these will normally be displayed first. Using this search method requires you to know the name or code of the product you want to find but with more general searches you can use the tick boxes at the top of your search results to refine the available product list. It is best to use this search if you have a product code or you are looking for a standard item that is unavailable in our Green catalogue.

The best prices are always in our Green Catalogue and on the home page or left margin there is a special offers section with big product discounts. Many items like office printer papers have quantity price breaks so the more items you order the lower the item price becomes, these are displayed in the orange quantity boxes.
