To provide additional purchasing options for WVU PCard holders, the Procurement Contracting and Payment Services team will launch a new program with Amazon Business Wednesday (Nov. 1).
All University business purchases made through Amazon must now be made through the WVU central Amazon Business account.
This new partnership will allow purchasers to take advantage of Amazon’s wide product selection and competitive prices. Shopping on Amazon Business is as easy as shopping on Amazon.com, creating a simple and user-friendly purchasing process for WVU PCard holders.
Additional benefits include:
Free two-day shipping on Prime-eligible items,
Automatic tax-exempt purchasing on items sold by Amazon.com LLC and participating third-party sellers,
Access to millions of additional products, available only to Amazon Business customers,
Business-specific pricing, including quantity discounts on eligible items,
Access to the WVU Amazon Business account on your mobile device through the Amazon Business Mobile App via the App Store or Google Play,
Access to a specialized Amazon Business Customer Service team.
WVU PCard holders will receive instructions via email to set up their Amazon Business account and can begin purchasing on Wednesday (Nov. 1). Moving forward, all Amazon purchases for WVU purposes must be made through the University’s Amazon Business account.
Review the Purchasing and Payment Guidelines and the WVU/WVURC PCard Manual for guidance on items that can and cannot be purchased with a PCard. The University’s Amazon Business account should be used only for items that are not available for purchase through Mountaineer Marketplace catalogs. Review the requirements of the IT Purchase Request process (WVU Login required). IT approval is required for most technology purchases, including many items in the Mountaineer Marketplace catalogs.
