POMulti
Multi-shipment Purchase Order (Open or Blanket or Standing PO), billed annually |
$20 per year |
POMulti is a good option if you order frequently and your organization supports open Purchase Orders.
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). There is no annual fee for an inactive account.
(Prompt-payment POMulti service fee rebates have been discountinued for billing cycles beginning in 2013.)

POSingle
Single shipment Purchase Order, billed at time of shipment |
$10 per shipment |
The POSingle option is for those who require a separate invoice 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 4-5 weeks after shipment.
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). |
