Purchase Orders

CTR Electronics will accept Purchase Orders (POs) of at least $250 from US-based organizations or individuals that meet the criteria outlined below.

CTR Electronics reserves the right to reject POs for any reason at any time.

Purchase Order Instructions

PRE-CHECK:

A Team Account is required to submit POs.
MI Teams - be sure to attach your tax exemption form.

To Place a Purchase Order:

1. Log in with your Team Account
2. Add all desired items to your cart.
3. Go through the checkout process like a normal order until you get to payment selection.
4. Select "Purchase Order (Net 30)" as your payment option and enter your school/organization-issued PO number in the labeled field.  You can then complete checkout.
   
   At this stage your order is submitted but a signed PO Document is still required before we can fulfill it.  The order will not be fulfilled until a signed PO is received and approved.
   
   
5. Send your signed PO Document to sales@ctr-electronics.com. See below for document requirements.
   Please reference your order number *and* PO number in the email subject or body.

Inventory for your order will only be held for up to 2 business days without a signed PO Document.

If you do not submit your signed PO within 2 business days your order may be subject to cancellation and inventory cannot be guaranteed.

 

Purchase Order Criteria

Submitting:

• Purchase Orders require a minimum subtotal of $250.
• CTR Electronics does not collect sales tax for orders with billing and shipping addresses outside the state of Michigan.
  Tax Exemption (if required) must be processed and approved BEFORE placing a Purchase Order.  See here for instructions.
• The total outstanding (unpaid) balance of a group's Purchase Orders may not exceed your allotted credit limit, and placing new Purchase Orders will be unavailable if the order subtotal exceeds the available remaining credit.
  For Schools and FRC Teams this total credit limit is $5000 by default.
• Purchase Orders are only accepted for a single order each.  CTR Electronics currently does not accept Open POs that cover multiple orders.

Document Approval:

• Signed and Approved PO Documentation from the issuing school/group must be submitted to CTR Electronics within two (2) Business Days after submitting the Purchase Order to the webstore.
• Inventory for your order will NOT be guaranteed if a signed and approved PO is not received within this period.

• All PO Documents should be in PDF format and must include:
• Issuing organization's legal name
• Complete Billing Address
• Authorized purchaser signature
• Valid phone number to validate PO
• Organization-issued PO Number clearly shown

  Note: A "Blanket" line item (ie, a single line for "Robotics Parts") is acceptable as long as the authorized value meets/exceeds the order total and the document PO number matches the PO number entered during webstore checkout.

Processing:

All Purchase Orders are manually verified by sales staff before receiving final approval for fulfillment and shipping. Processing time is typically 1-2 business days after receipt of the signed PO Document.

For Purchase Orders with expedited shipping, the 1-2 day processing time DOES still apply. Shipping estimates are valid from the time of order fulfillment.
