Questions and Answers
“Do you accept purchase orders? What are your terms?”
Yes, we accept purchase orders. It does not slow down the processing of your order. Our terms are “net 30” … which means we ship your product right away, we bill your institution, and payment is due in 30 days.
“My business is tax exempt!”
Include a copy of your business’s state-issued tax exemption form with your order. For Illinois customers, here’s a link showing what those forms look like: click here.
“Will you accept my purchase order?”
We accept purchase orders from schools, churches, businesses, and government agencies. We honor PO’s from public and private schools. All PO’s must be from institutions in the USA.
“I want to use a purchase order. What do I need to do?”
Check with your bookkeeper — he or she knows your institution’s procedure. Generally, the bookkeeper will need pricing and ordering information about the product, and they’ll need our business information (name, address, contact information).
“What paperwork should I give to my bookkeeper?”
You can create an “order page” by adding products to the on-line shopping cart as if you’re doing an on-line order. Don’t worry, you’re not placing the order on-line — once everything is listed on the “cart” page, print that page and give it to your bookkeeper.
