Procedures for Ordering Supplies From Corporate Express

• All office supplies ordered from Corporate Express are through the internet web site at www.eway.com

• Orders processed through EWay must be charged to a University ProCard.  This requirement is in place to decrease the number of purchase vouchers processed for office supplies delivered directly to your department.  Do not have them delivered to the Central Receiving because that will delay the order.

• For any product returns call Customer Service at 1-800-270-9711.  Inform the representative that you have a return.  Do not contact Jennifer Mikolas as this will delay proper processing of your credit.

If you have questions, need assistance navigating the E-Way web site or if you need to be set up as an E-Way user, please contact Purchasing at ext. 823.
