Finding What You Want
You can find what you're looking for at Rex Art using either the Shop button, the pull down menu located on the left hand side of every page, or a combination of both. The store is organized in aisles, just like our Miami location. Each aisle represents a media (oil paint, acrylics, watercolor, sculpture, etc.). Within each aisle are all the materials you will need for that particular media - the oil mediums are located in the oil aisle, the acrylic mediums are located in the acrylic aisle, etc.

When you choose the shop button up top, you will be taken to our main shopping page which lists all of our aisles. From there you may casually browse each of the aisles to find exactly what you want. The pull down menu to the left goes to the same aisles, but gets you there a little quicker. When you use the pull down menu, you can skip ahead a few aisles to get to the exact area you are looking for by simply choosing that area and pressing the 'GO' button.

We have tried to make shopping online at Rex as easy and self explanatory as possible. However, if you are having trouble finding what you need, please feel free to contact us at service@rexart.com or 1-800-REX-ART2.

Searching
You can search for products at Rex Art with a simple or an advanced search. Either method produces a search results page where you can click links to view more product information or add products to your shopping cart.

In a simple search, you enter the word or words that you are looking for and click the Search button. The search will look for those words in the product names, descriptions, SKUs, and product detail pages. If you enter more than one word, only products that match all of the words will appear on the search results page. You can search for numbers, and you can use an asterisk for a wildcard character, as explained for advanced search, below.

In an advanced search, you can use several types of notation to expand or narrow the search:

  • Wildcards — you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to match any number of characters. For example, ba* would match both ball and bat, *art would match both start and part, and *55* would match both 3559 and 80995572.
  • Boolean Operators — the advanced search function recognizes both text and symbols for Boolean functions. You can narrow your search with AND or a plus sign (+). You can broaden your search with OR or a pipe symbol (|). You can further narrow your search with EXC (excluding) or a minus sign (-). You can use parentheses to control the order of evaluation, such as "(A+B) OR C".

Using the Shopping Cart
The shopping cart holds all of the items you've collected during a particular shopping session. You can access this page by clicking on the button that says 'Your Cart' at the top of the screen. The shopping cart is set up to show the number of items and order total at the top of the shopping pages without bringing you to your cart each time you order something. To bring up the shopping cart with every item you add, you may check the box marked 'Show me my cart every time I order something', then click the 'Continue Shopping' button.

Once in your cart, you can choose to increase the quantity of any of your items or remove any of the items by clicking 'Remove Item' to the left of the item. After you've changed any quantities, simply press the button that says 'Recalculate'. The shopping cart will automatically calculate your total. You may also choose to clear your entire cart by choosing the button at the bottom which says 'Empty Cart'.

To add more to your cart, just hit the 'Continue Shopping' button at the bottom of the page and continue shopping until you're ready to check out.
