What is my ShipTo Code and Account (aka Consignee) #?
Your ShipTo code is the middle five (5) digits of your University
account number. For example, if your account number is 0-1-23456-789,
your assigned ShipTo code is 23456. This is also known as your Consignee
number.
When at the New Order screen, select your ShipTo code from the drop down
box. Once selected, the full shipping address, which has been assigned
to your department, will appear. If additional shipping information is
necessary, you can add it farther down the screen in the "Delivery: Rm &
BLDG" field. You may use this field to enter the room and building
location or a persons name. This field can also be left blank.
After selecting your ShipTo code, you need to enter the University
account number that you want charged (aka Cost Center). This MUST be
entered with NO DASHES OR SPACES. For example, the above account number
would be entered 0123456789.
What is the Release Number?
Always enter your last name in the Release Number field.
How do I select my Cost Center?
Your Cost Center is your Department account number that you want to
charge. You must enter your full 10 digit account number and object code
with NO DASHES OR SPACES. (e.g. 6254908420)
How do I return something using OfficeMax Online?
To obtain credit, click on the "Customer Care" button located at the top
of the OfficeMax Online screen. Enter the required information and
OfficeMax will get back to you with a Return Authorization Number (RA#).
Place the RA# on a post-it note and stick it on the item you wish to
return. The OfficeMax driver will pick up the return item and OfficeMax
will credit your account. In order to receive proper credit, items must
be returned within a 30 day period, be in original packaging and in
resaleable condition.
What is a Repeat Order (Template) and how do I use it?
Templates save you time and keystrokes by eliminating the need to fill
in the billing and shipping information every time you place an order.
Once the template has been created, just click on the "Repeat Order"
button and begin placing your order.
Creating the template:
• Fill out the appropriate sections in the Billing/Shipping screens
(found under "Preferences"). Then click on "Start Shopping" which takes
you to the "blank form" screen.
• Next to the "Add to Order" arrow you will find a "Save Repeat Order"
option. Click on it.
• Assign the Repeat Order a name and it will be saved under "Select" in
the Repeat Order section.
Now that your Template has been created, you can click on Repeat Order
each time you want to place an order and your billing and shipping
information will already be completed.
If you have ANY problems creating a template, contact
Kate Van Dine in
the Purchasing Department.
