You can easily place orders using our Provantage SmartCart
online shopping system. In addition, we accept orders by phone, fax, email,
and postal mail. See Contact
Information for phone numbers and addresses.
Provantage orders are processed immediately upon receipt. Most
orders ship the same business day if they are placed before 3:00 pm
Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. In-stock orders are often
processed within minutes of being placed. However, please note that all
credit card orders must clear our credit card security department prior
to shipping.
Provantage will keep you up to date on your order status every step of
the way. At anytime you can come to our website, log into your
account and click on the Order Status button. Please keep
in mind we only process orders for shipment Monday through Friday.
If you are ordering after business hours or on the weekend, your
order status could remain the same until the next business day. When
your order ships, you will receive an email containing a link to our web
site where you can view your order. You can also print a copy of your
invoice from inside our order status system.
Yes, but only if the order has not already been processed (check your
order status). To change your order, you must immediately contact our
customer service department at 1-800-336-1166.
Make sure you have typed your email address correctly. Also check any
spam filters you may use - sometimes they incorrectly filter legitimate
emails. Another reason you may not have received a confirmation
email is that the email is being held up by your internet service provider.
The best way to confirm whether or not we have received your order is to
log in to our online order status system. If you don't
find your order there, you can contact our customer service department
for assistance at 1-800-336-1166. They can be reached Monday
through Friday between 9:00 am to 6:00 pm EST.
If you think you have duplicated an order, please contact our
Customer Service Department during our business hours at 1-800-336-1166.
If this happens outside of our business hours, you can email
us at
CustomerService@provantage.com.
Please provide the order numbers of the duplicate orders. We will make
every effort to stop the extra order from shipping.
Due to the highly automated nature of our order processing system,
many orders are processed within minutes of being placed. If your order
cannot be stopped, we will provide you with tracking information so that
you can refuse the duplicate order when it is delivered. We will issue
credit refund for the refused order upon confirmation that the order has
been received back to the warehouse.
Many software product manufacturers offer Academic Editions of
their products at substantial savings. These AE products are
functionally equivalent to the retail versions. However, AE products
usually do not qualify for discounted version upgrades when new versions are
released). To qualify for these Academic Editions, after you complete
your checkout, email a copy of your dated photo ID card or other
documentation showing current academic enrollment to
Academic@provantage.com
or fax it to 330-494-5260. Please reference your order number in all
communications. You will see these same instructions again during checkout.
Yes. Faculty and staff members usually qualify for Academic Editions. The
instructions provided during the checkout process will ask you to send us a
dated photo ID or some other form of documentation showing proof of your
academic affiliation.
Our order processing team is responsible for verifying the eligibility
of government customers. We will notify you if we are unable to determine
that your organization is a qualifying government agency.
Organizations must demonstrate their tax status with documentation
before they can qualify to purchase eligible charitable products. To
qualify for products designated as a charitable, your organization must
be a qualified S501(c)(3) organization as defined by the United States
Internal Revenue Code. Certain S501(c)(3) organizations do not qualify
for charitable products. Please contact a Provantage sales representative
to determine whether your organization meets the qualifying criteria.
Provantage makes every effort to give all of our customers the very
best pricing every day. However, if you have a large order, please
contact a Provantage Account Representative at 1-800-336-1166,
and he or she will be happy to quote you better pricing if available.
Provantage does its best to advertise manufacturer rebates. Most
manufacturer rebates must be redeemed directly from the manufacturer.
Prices listed on our website do not include any manufacturer rebates -
our published price is the before rebate price. Provantage works
directly with the manufacturers to provide links to available rebates.
You can simply print out the rebate coupon and follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Please remember you can always print an extra copy
of your invoice from our website to submit with your rebate.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover Card, and American Express for
most orders.
The billing address you provide must be the cardholder's address that
the bank has on record. It is also the address where your credit card
billing statements are sent.
If you do not accurately provide this information, your order could be
delayed in processing.
We offer credit terms to pre-qualified accounts and accept bank
transfers of funds.
Net 30 day terms are available to pre-qualified commercial, academic
and government accounts within the United States. Please contact one of
our Account Representatives at 1-800-336-1166, or email
Sales@provantage.com
for more information about establishing an account.
A bank transfer of funds is an efficient alternative to using a
credit card. The processing fee for this option is US$35.
Here are the guidelines and procedures for a bank transfer:
During your check out process, choose Bank Transfer as
your payment method. In your Order Summary page, you will notice the $35
bank transfer fee included in your order total. Soon after placing your
order, you will receive an order confirmation email that includes our bank
information. Contact your bank, provide them with our bank information and
request a transfer of funds to our bank. The funds must be in U.S. Dollars
and equal to the total amount of your order. Instruct your bank to make
reference to your full name and order number in the transfer. Note that
funds must be received before your order is processed.
Our website supports the latest in web security technologies, so
you can place your order with confidence. Once the information is received
through the Internet, it is password-protected internally and only
authorized employees and secure systems process your payment. For
additional details regarding how we handle your personal information,
please read our Privacy Policy.
You will need to provide us with a copy of a letter of authority,
tax exemption certificate(s), or reseller certificate(s).
For more information, please see
Sales Tax Exemptions.
Several factors outside of Provantage's control may cause a card to
decline. One common reason for a decline is an incorrect credit card
expiration date. If the expiration date you gave us is indeed correct,
then we suggest you contact your credit card institution regarding the
matter and confirm with the card issuer that:
your card account is in good standing;
adequate credit is available on the account to accept the charge;
the account does not have an internet/phone order block;
the charged amount is within daily and/or transaction limits; and
if the account is new, the account has been activated.
When we receive a decline on a credit card order, we will inform
you of the situation and ask if you would like to cancel your order. If we
do not hear from you within one week, we will cancel your order.
You can place an order and pay by check or money order by contacting a
Provantage Account Representative at 1-800-336-1166. Please write
the order number on your check and send it to us at:
