Your payment and personal information is always safe. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet.
We try to check everything but sometimes errors slip through. We cannot be held contractually liable responsible for errors. If you find an error please let us know and we will correct it.
PURCHASE ORDERS
Norcostco accepts institutional Purchase Orders from organizations with an approved Norcostco account.
To inquire about whether your organization has an existing account, email us at
Accounts Receivable. Or call 1-800-220-6920 x1004.
On the payment page of the check-out process, select “Account Number” for your payment method. Enter your Norcostco customer account number if you know it and your purchase order number. Don't worry if you don't know your Norcostco customer account number. We will take care of it!
Additionally, your organization’s tax exempt status can be tied to your Norcostco account eliminating the need to provide sales tax exemption documentation. You MUST sign-in to your existing and updated log-in, for your tax exempt status to apply.
When ordering with a purchase order, please provide the “Bill to Information” as it appears on your organization’s purchase order/requisition form. Any new accounts for public schools will be required to fax in a copy of a purchase order before your order is shipped. Any other new accounts will be required to complete a credit application before your order is processed.
TAX EXEMPTION
As a school or non-profit organization you may be eligible to make tax-exempt purchases. We'd be happy to help you modify your account accordingly. To qualify for tax-exempt purchases, you will need to supply us with a copy of your State issued tax exemption certificate. You must also have a Norcostco login used solely for your organization's purchases and separate from any logins for personal use. You can send your completed and signed certificate along with the email address of your Norcostco login to us by one of two easy methods.

Most of these manufacturers will NOT accept end-users resale certificates.
