Amazon corporate account

My library is also slow to pay.  We solved it by printing invoices from the Amazon credit card website as soon as each shipment was received.  Depending on how many shipments you get it does create more paperwork.  I have been pleased with the service.

Hi Michael,
We tried the Amazon Corporate Account for a while.  The only problem we had was based on our internal operations.  We have to send check requests to a separate office, and the turn around time can be a little slow.  We often ended up accruing finance charges (which we are not allowed to pay) because the checks were being received too late.   I don't remember the exact time limit that the bank Amazon used at the time (about 2 years ago), but I think it may have been 30 days.  If your institution has a slow turn around for checks, you might want to rethink using this type of account.  Otherwise, we had no negative experiences, and Amazon did work with us to resolve the late fees.  They did caution us that they would not always do so.
 
Sincerely,

Hey,
 
Would those of you who have used Amazon Corporate Account for ordering relate to me your experiences with their billing?  We have used them for ordering via credit card, but are looking at setting up a separate account for a pilot buy-not-borrow program and I need to know how the monthly billing (payment by PO) works for you.
 
Thanks.
 
Michael
