PURCHASING
We have a great solution for purchasing: Float Cards. These are pre-set debit cards assigned to departments or individuals, and often to a department for a specific vendor. They're accepted like credit cards, and come in both digital and physical version, as requested.
You can still make purchases with a regular card and expense them when it's absolutely necessary (see below).
Applies to recurring transactions under $2000.
Got a float card with room on it? Make your purchase.
Got a float card that doesn't have room? Ask your department head to ask Kent for a special card or to top up existing card, then make your purchase.
No card? Ask your manager or department head to make the purchase.
Applies to recurring transactions over $2,000.

SHIPPING
Is this a very heavy/big/expensive item? If not, skip to #2 below.
If so, ask the supplier to request quotes for FedEx and DHL using our account info, and choose the one that's less expensive.
Can we provide the supplier with our account information?
Choose DHL if available.
If not, choose FedEx.
If not, choose UPS.
If we can't bill shipping to our account,
Choose DHL if available.
If not, choose FedEx.
If not, choose UPS.
If none of those are available, can you pay for brokerage as part of the purchase? If not, we're going to have an issue receiving the package - look for another way to purchase. Contact Rita for assistance.
Is it a local shipment? If yes, choose Novex.
If you've shipped through DHL, FedEx, or UPS, they're all able to be our broker to receive the package through customs.
If they contact us asking for our broker, remind them that they are contracted to be the broker for packages they're carrying.
The duties should be auto-paid through Float cards; if they request payment, contact Rita or Bonnie and we'll get it sorted.
Unlike Terramera, we do not have a contract with Preferred Express.
Once the package is cleared through customs, make sure you'll be in the office at a spot where you can hear the doorbell when it arrives.
If you won't be there, arrange for someone else to answer the door.
