Send Us a Fax
Within 30 days of your purchase, fax a copy of your tax exemption certificate, resale certificate or other required documentation to 1-800-920-4633. Follow these steps:
- Write your order number and email address on your tax-exemption documentation.
- Label your fax cover sheet "Attention: Tax Exempt."
For your security, if you're faxing us a copy of a government purchase card, be sure to blackout the 16-digit number on the card. We will notify you via email if your request has been approved or denied. If denied, we'll tell you why, and may request more information. Once your order is fulfilled, a credit for the applicable tax amount will be applied to the form of payment used to make the purchase. If you used a credit card, please allow up to three billing cycles for the credit to appear on your statement.
