Shipping Information
Identifying Items with Free Shipping
For items in hosted catalogs, “Free Shipping” text is indicated directly below the list price of the items that are shipped free of charge.
Punch-Out catalogs vary in how items with free shipping are indicated. For example, the Dell punch-out site includes options for no charge delivery, as well as expedited delivery for a specific cost at the time a shopping cart is created on their site.
When are Shipping Charges Added?
For purchases in hosted catalogs, any applicable shipping charges are not included at the time the AggieBuy Requisition is created. They are added at the time the invoice is created and submitted by the supplier. For this reason, the initial cost of your AggieBuy Requisition and final cost may vary based on any added shipping charges.
For purchases in punch-out catalogs, applicable shipping charges are often added at the time the cart is created in the punch-out site and before the cart is returned to the AggieBuy site for final cart check-out and Requisition submission, but this is not necessarily the case for all punch-out suppliers. Refer to the information in the table below to confirm what the shipping charge for your specific supplier may be.
Minimizing Shipping Charges and Maximizing Your Dollars
Refer to the information below which identifies any flat shipping charges for each supplier and any factors that can mitigate or remove the shipping charge. For example, some suppliers provide free shipping when the order total exceeds a specific dollar amount. When purchasing from these suppliers, we recommend that you bundle your purchasing whenever possible to ensure that you are taking advantage of the free shipping option.
