Many of us are familiar with Amazon for personal purchases, but did you know there’s a version of Amazon that provides similar benefits (and more!) to Indiana University? This allows IU to take advantage of what Amazon has to offer when purchasing noncontracted items or ones available from contract suppliers such as Guy Brown in BUY.IU.
Below are just a few of the benefits Amazon Business provides:
- Tax-exempt purchases:IU’s Amazon Business account automatically applies the Indiana State Tax Exemption to items sold by Amazon.com LLC and participating 3rd party sellers.
- Special products and pricing: Amazon Business offers products available only to Amazon Business members, some of which offer quantity discounts.
- Two-day shipping: Starting August 1, all IU Amazon Business members will have access to one year of Business Prime shipping – for free!
- Customer service: Members have exclusive access to the Amazon Business Customer Service team.
Keep an eye out for additional communications later this month about creating and using your Amazon Business account. Want to get started now? P-Card holders should submit a Support Form to request an Amazon Business account. On the form, select “P-Card or Meeting Card” then “IU Amazon Business Account” and a member of the Card Services team will invite you to join.
