Tax-Exempt Orders
Some organizations, such as churches, schools, and government
entities, are exempt from paying sales tax. As a demonstrator, it
is your responsibility to obtain a tax-exempt certificate from a
customer claiming to be exempt from paying sales tax. This
certificate must be included with the order when you mail it
to Stampin’ Up! for processing, and you must indicate which
items in the order are being purchased tax free. Sales tax
exemption certificate requirements vary from state to state.
If your state’s certificate requires a seller’s name and address,
you must include your name and address. After your name
you must include the phrase, “a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.”
Your tax-exempt certificate will be reviewed for completeness
and authenticity by the Stampin’ Up! accounting department.
If the certificate is found to be acceptable, the order will be
processed. If the certificate is not found to be acceptable,
Demonstrator Support will contact you by phone to correct
the problem. Once the problem is corrected, the order will
be processed.
If an order consists completely of tax-exempt merchandise,
we are required to ship it to the tax-exempt organization. If
only a portion of the order is tax exempt, it can be shipped
to any address.
Tax-exempt orders may require up to two additional business days
to process due to their special nature. If there are any errors on the
order form, it will take additional time to process.
Resale licenses, permits, and certificates are not acceptable as
tax-exempt certificates. A sales tax permit is a permit allowing
one to collect sales tax and is generally not a license to make
tax-free purchases. Since your customers cannot resell any
Stampin’ Up! product, they cannot claim tax-exempt status
on that basis.
Order Shipping Practices
7/07
Stampin’ Up! ships through the best carrier available at the
time. Product is usually shipped to deliver within seven full
business days from the date the order is closed. Shipping times
may vary; provide your customers with a realistic delivery
estimate based on your personal experience and current
situations and remind them that workshop orders will be
shipped to the workshop hostess.
Backorders
While Stampin’ Up! strives to maintain the inventory you
need, from time to time Stampin’ Up!’s suppliers may be
unable to meet the demand and some catalog merchandise will
be placed temporarily on backordered status. If an item you
have requested is backordered, a ‘B’ will be listed next to the
item number on the packing slip.
