PIIAI is pleased to announce that Office Depot
is
now our exclusive supplier for office supplies.
Due to the changing marketplace, PIIAI felt members
would be better served by an organization the size of Office Depot
and their expansive presence throughout the state. Office Depot
is committed to providing PIIAI with the highest levels of service
and value.
We have been working closely with Office Depot
to create a program that is user-friendly and customized to meet
the specific needs of PIIAI members. This new program provides
our association with the best overall value to support our office
supply requirements. Pricing was negotiated based on overall program
savings, not on an individual item basis. Every time you order
from Office Depot, you contribute to savings for the association.
Please use the Office Depot "Welcome
Letter" and "How to
Guide" to get started on the new program with Office
Depot.
The information below is to clarify how PIIAI's
users were set up for the Office Depot program and how to make
changes, i.e. adding additional users for an agency.
1. Accounts were set up with e-mail addresses
of the primary contact for each PIIAI agency. Their e-mail address
(without the www) is the Login Name used at the login screen.
The Password is their last name. In most cases the primary contact
isn't the person who will order the office supplies, but the person
ordering the supplies can use the current set up. After the initial
login, you will be prompted to choose a new password (6 characters)
that should be entered twice and answer a security question. While
the site will show another name on the screen, the person ordering
has full ordering authority. Another step will be required when
you're ready to finalize the order if you do not want the primary
contact to automatically receive an e-mail confirmation. After
selecting the Go To Cart button on the navigation bar and putting
in your credit card info, you need to check the (No) box in the
(send an e-mail confirmation) area so that the primary contact
doesn't get an e-mail confirmation for each order placed.
2. Refer to "Navigating
PIIAI's Internet Site" for navigation instructions.
3. Offices with 25 employees wanting to set up
billing from Office Depot instead of a credit card need to send
in the Assessment
Form. Complete this form and select the Send this spread sheet
button, which will forward the form to our Office Depot headquarters
for processing. Office Depot will contact you when the new account
is set up. If problems are experienced when sending the spreadsheet,
it can be printed and faxed to Bryan Hayes at (561) 438-3881.
4. Finally, to add additional users to your account,
e-mail Debbie Constant
at dconstant@piiai.org
or call her at (800) 628-6436, ext. 3002 with their e-mail address,
name, phone #, fax #, and shipping address.
