What Payment
Options Are Available? - You may pay for any products you order by
credit card - Visa, Mastercard, Discover/Novus, American Express, and PayPal
are accepted; by company check, money order, or cashier's check in U.S.
Dollars; or by electronic wire transfer.
There is an additional $20 charge on payments via wire transfers
due to bank transfer fees. We also accept company purchase orders
from U.S. and Canadian companies that have established an account with
us.
How Do I Establish
an Account? - If you're a U.S. or Canadian company that would like
to place orders with a purchase order please fax or mail us your company's
standard trade reference information. Our fax number is 812.877.7116
and mailing address is Maintenance Resources, Inc., 1983 N Hunt Street,
Terre Haute, IN 47805.
I'm not in the United
States, Can I Order from Your Site? - Yes, you can order products
from anywhere in the world on the Maintenance
Resources site.
International orders must be prepaid via credit card, bank check
in U.S. Dollars, or via wire transfer.
Note: For certain countries we are unable to accept payment via
credit card. If you are located in one of these countries you will
be notified via email when you place an order what payment options are available
to you.
How Will My Order
Be Shipped? - If you live in the United States your order will be shipped
by UPS. Ground, 2nd day, and next day service are available. You make your choice when you place your order.
International orders are shipped via UPS International Service.
UPS service typically takes 3-5 business days from the date of shipment
to arrive in your country.
How
Long Does it Take to Receive My Order? - If an item is in stock your
order will generally ship no later than the next business day. We
typically stock most NEC products and selected other books and CD-ROMs.
Because we offer over one thousand different products we are not able
to stock everything available on our site. Non-stock items typically
take from 7-10 days to arrive at your location.
Is Expedited Shipping Available?
- Yes for the continental United States. Naturally this costs a bit
more. You select on your on-line order form
what type of delivery you want.
Does the On-line Price
Include Shipping and Handling? - If you're located in the continental
United States, then the total you see on the order form will be accurate
and include the charges for the shipping and handling method you selected.
Regular UPS Ground, Next Day, or 2nd Day service is available.
For our customers in Alaska or Hawaii and for our international
customers shipping and handling charges will be calculated based on the weight
and destination of the shipment. You will be notified by email for
approval of the shipping costs before we will proceed with your order.
The shipping costs you see on your
order form are not correct - these are continental U.S. rates only.
Are There Any Other Costs?
- If you're an Indiana resident a 7% tax (effective 4/1/2008) will be
added to your order unless your company supplies a tax exempt certificate.
We do not charges sales tax on out-of-state orders, with the exception
that California residents may be subject to a 7% tax on orders for certain NFPA products.
International customers may have a duty/tariff charged by their
country's customs office based on the total value of the items being imported.
These fees are your responsibility and are not included in the cost of
the item or shipping charges by Maintenance Resources, Inc.
What is the Meaning of Your "New" Logo
- An item designated with a 
logo means that it is newly added to the Maintenance
Resources website
within the last 3 months. It does not mean it is newly introduced to
the marketplace within the last 3 months.
Reference Library
May I Reprint or Reference Articles in
the Library?
Does It
Cost Anything to Use the Library?
Can
I Submit an Article for Inclusion in Your Library?
May I Reprint or Reference Articles
in the Library? - Generally yes, but you need to e-mail and ask for
permission. Article copyrights are typically retained by the original
author/publisher. If you are interested in republishing an article
you must request permission via e-mail at info@maintenanceresources.com.
We will request permission on your behalf with the original author/publisher.
If permission is granted we will notify you, along with the appropriate
wording for the credit to the author and our Maintenance
Resources website.
Does It Cost Anything to Use
the Library? - No. Just like your local public library you may
"check out" articles for personal use free.
Can I Submit an Article
for Inclusion in Your Library? - Sure. The library is continually
growing. If you've written an article you feel would be beneficial
to other PEM professionals and would like to share it, send it to us via
e-mail and we'll be happy to include it, with appropriate credits to yourself
and a link to your website, if applicable. We may also utilize your
article in our monthly ezine - the "Maintenance Resources On-line Magazine."
PEM Links
How Do I Get Listed on Your Links Page? - There are two
scenarios under which a company or organization can be added to our PEM
Links section. The first is on a reciprocal links basis. If
you'll add a link to Maintenance
Resources from your site we'll
be glad to add a return link. The second way to get added to the
links is to provide technical content that we can utilize in our Reference
Library or "Maintenance Resources On-line Magazine." As a thank
you for sharing your expertise with our readers we will place a link for
you. E-mail us a .gif or .jpg image to go along with your listing.
