On the business side of ordering for schools, universities, government or military offices things can sometimes get a bit complicated and confusing. We are huge fans of making things as easy as possible. That's why when asked if we can accept orders from such entities without payment up front we gladly respond with "You bet we do!"
We gladly accept purchase orders from any k-12 schools, accredited universities and city, county, state or federal agencies/offices - without the need for a credit application approval process or payment at the time of order. Here are the steps:
- Just place an order – that’s it. CFS does not require a pre-approved credit application process for these organizations. We simply need the bill to address, an accounts payable contact and their email address.
That's it! How's that for simplifying things?
When ordering online, there is no account number – the organization name simply needs to be indicated. During checkout Purchase Order* can be selected as the payment method – and a purchase order number is not needed. The same goes for orders that are phoned in.
Fax, email and postal mail can also be used to order – all that we ask is that we get a copy of the order requisition or a purchase order.
*Purchase order numbers are not necessary unless the organizations’ accounts payable department requires them to issue payment. See CFS’ complete billing/payment details.
This is another example of how we are always striving to make ordering binding supplies and bindery equipment easy for all of our customers. Do you have a suggestion on how we can improve anything – please share in the comments below. We’re always looking for ways to do things better.
