POMulti
Multi-shipment Purchase Order (Open or Blanket or Standing PO), billed annually |
$20 per year |
This is typically the best option if you order frequently and your organization supports open Purchase Orders. The following rewards will be applied for this account type:
$20 discount on next year's invoice if payment is received in full and on time by credit card.
$15 discount on next year's invoice if payment is received in full and on time by check.
$5 discount on next year's invoice if payment is received in full and on time by wire transfer.
There is no annual fee for an inactive account.
If your organization does not use Purchase Orders to guarantee future payment for goods provided now, a 'promise to pay' letter from your academic department can serve the purpose (download a template). |
POSingle
Single shipment Purchase Order, billed at time of shipment |
$10 per shipment |
This option is for those who must receive an invoice from us citing your Purchase Order number and order rarely or require a separate bill for each shipment. You will receive a quote by e-mail when we process your stock request. Your stocks will be shipped after we receive your Purchase Order. We will bill your organization according to the instructions on your Purchase Order.
If you can pay by credit card on line and you do not require an invoice in addition to our quote, account type APSingle is a better choice than POSingle (less paperwork for us, cost savings for you). |
