The new online customer portal estimates tax, regardless of exemption status. Once the order is loaded into our ERP system from the website, our ERP will remove the tax before invoicing. As long as we have a valid tax exemption certificate on file and the online order is transferred into our ERP, and it is not being shipped to a state outside of the one listed for exemption, you will not be charged tax on the final invoice.

For online orders
We can’t add items to your orders after they’ve been submitted.

However, we can remove items or cancel your order if you call your local branch salesperson by 4 PM CT on the day you submitted your order. If you ordered after 4 PM CT, contact your local branch salesperson the following day.

For counter, phone, and email orders
If your order hasn’t shipped, we can change or cancel it. Call your local branch salesperson to confirm if you can change or cancel your order.
