Accounts & Billing

Do You Offer Billing Accounts or NET 30?

Answer

Yes! We do offer corporate billing accounts. We do require your first order to be placed with a credit card.

You will need to complete our standard application process and once approved, enjoy a myriad of benefits that comes with a corporate billing account. If you have prepared trade references, W-9 and standard corporate information, you can send that in as well.

We look forward to working with you and your team!

Can I Get a Copy of My Invoice or Receipt?

Answer

When you completed your order, you were emailed an order confirmation within minutes. If you don't see it in your inbox, pleaese check your junk mail folders. This order confirmation is always sent to the email address that was entereed at the time of checkout.

You can also login to your account on the website and always print out previous order receipts. We always recommend setting up an account online (not a billing account), where you can manage, review and track all of your order information.

Ordering & Shipping

Where is My Order & When will it Ship?

Answer

With distribution facilities located all across the country, Advanced Automation has you covered. Depending on the product and availability, we will always try to ship from the facility closest to your destination. The majority of our items ship same-day, as long as they are ordered before 3pm CST.

Please refer to actual product availabilty for more detail. We can often ship past that, up until 5pm and the same goes for expedited shipments. For expedited shipments placed in the afternoon, we recommend you give us a call to ensure your product is available and that it's not past the cutoff. Being centrally located, we have the flexibility to support both sides of the country.

At Advanced Automation we make it easy to track your order. Please click below to get started.

Can I use My Own Fed-Ex or UPS Account?

Answer

Yes you can! During checkout, you will have the option to use your own FedEx or UPS account number. When you select this, we remove freight from your order and the carrier will in turn bill you directly. We do get very good shipping rates, but certainly understand your desire to keep us out of it.

We don't like freight any more than you, but it is part of everything whether hidden in the price or not. We prefer to keep freight independent of price and give you more control over your overall costs.

How can I get a Quote or Special Pricing?

Answer

Our prices are set to extend significant savings to you without having to wait for a sale or promotion. Wth our competitive pricing, you can also know you're working with on of the best, most experienced and hard working barcode-based solutions companies in the US.

Great pricing, FAST turnaround, knowlegeable, 30+ years of experience, responsiveness, follow-through and just plain nice people. You'll be hard pressed to find that combo elsewhere. Maybe a sligthly lower price, but you'll lose everything else.

We currently only ship within the United States without restriction. We do ship to Canada, but require you to provide your own UPS or FedEx account number to use for shipping costs.
