Troubleshooting issues ordering supplies online
If you're having trouble ordering supplies online, review the common issues and resolutions below.
My shipping address is missing
Why this happens
- The account associated with the address is not linked to your online profile.
- Your address has changed and has not yet been updated with Pitney Bowes.
How to fix it
If the account is not linked:
- Add your account to your online profile.
- Refresh the ordering page and verify the address appears.
If the address has changed:
- Use a temporary address override and complete the purchase using a credit card.
- Submit a permanent address change through Manage Accounts.
You can also chat with a Supplies agent who can place the order and submit the address update request.
I can only pay with a credit card
Why this happens
A manually entered shipping address or temporary address override was used during checkout. For security reasons, only credit card payments are available for these orders.
How to fix it
- Add your account to your online profile.
- Return to checkout.
- Select the shipping address associated with your linked account.
All available payment methods will then be displayed.
Sales tax is being applied to my order
Why this happens
- Your tax exemption certificate has not yet been activated.
- The shipping address was entered manually rather than selected from a linked account.
How to fix it
If your tax exemption certificate has not been activated, submit your tax exemption certificate.
If you are using a manually entered address:
- Add your account to your online profile.
- Return to your order.
- Select the shipping address associated with the linked account.
Important: Taxes may continue to appear until your tax exemption certificate has been processed and activated.
