An e-account is the online CDW account you access when you log on to the website using your user name and password. Developed to make online shopping safe and easy, your e-account allows you to save contact information and shopping preferences on our secure servers to make future ordering easier by eliminating the need to re-key your shipping, billing, payment and account information each time you place an order.

Create an e-account today. Your e-account enables you to check the status of any order you place with CDW (including phone orders) and use our Saved Shopping Carts feature. If you place an order, your e-account will be linked to your Customer Number once your order is processed. After your e-account is associated with your Customer Number, your online account is upgraded to an extranet account with additional features and functionality.

An extranet is simply an e-account that has been associated with a Customer Number. You must have an extranet to access many of the advanced features and tools available on the website. If your e-account has not been associated with your Customer Number, please contact your account manager or Customer Relations. This process may take 24-48 hours.

When your return is approved you will receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number that must be included with the returned merchandise.
Note: Your RMA number is valid for 10 business days.

In general, CDW accepts returns on merchandise from select manufacturers within 30 days. However, CDW reserves the right to authorize product returns beyond 30 days from the invoice date. IF the product is accepted after 30 days, credit will be issued toward FUTURE PURCHASES ONLY. Original shipping charges are not refunded on returned items. Customers are responsible for all shipping charges back to CDW on returned items, and CDW will pay the shipping charges on the replacement or exchange item(s) going back.

Returns within 30 days from invoice date can be for exchange, replacement refund or credit at CDW’s discretion. Please be aware that specific manufacturers have more restrictive return policies and may be subject to a return fee.

When shipping items back to CDW shipping fees are your responsibility. Upon receipt of your return, we will replace, exchange or repair your product as indicated in your RMA application. We will then return your product, at our expense, using the same shipping method you used to send it to us.

If your return merchandise is accepted, we will post a credit to your CDW account within 24 hours from the time that we receive the product(s) in our distribution center. Each return is credited in the same manner as payment. If you paid for your order with a credit card, the credit will be applied to that card. You will be able to verify the credit by calling your credit card company. If you paid for your order with a check, a refund check will be issued within 10 business days from the date the returned product is received by CDW’s receiving department. If you have a terms account, the amount of your return will be credited to your CDW account.

You must have a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number in order to return a product. See previous item to learn how to get an RMA number. Once you have an RMA number, please follow the following steps:

Packing Your Return:
The RMA number should be clearly noted on the shipping label of each box or you may write it on the shipping box. Please do not record the RMA number on the original manufacturer’s box. The return box should contain everything from the original shipment, including the original manufacturer’s box and packing material, all accessories, UPC bar codes, manuals, etc. that came with the original shipment. If you have multiple packages to return, please make photocopies of the return address that was emailed to you and tape one on each package. Please use clear tape or a clear carrier pouch with a self-adhesive back to affix the return address to the box. All boxes should be securely packed to prevent possible damage during shipping. We are not liable for damage that occurs during shipment back to us. We suggest that you insure these return items, as we are not liable for lost merchandise.

Addressing Your Return:
Returns should be sent to:
CDW
Attn: Returns Dept. / RMA # ____________
220 North Milwaukee Ave.
Vernon Hills, IL 60061

Returns for Repair:
Items being returned for repair may be packaged inside any sturdy shipping box. Please be sure that the item is securely packed to prevent possible damage during transit. We are not liable for damage occurring during shipment.

International Shipments:
All International duty fees must be paid by the sender. We recommend that you use one of the following carriers to help ensure your packages clear customs: UPS, Federal Express, and DHL for any lightweight orders. AIT for heavyweight orders.

Returning Printers:
When returning a printer, fax machine or copier, please remove all toner and ink cartridges to prevent spillage during shipping. The toners/cartridges should be packaged separately, either in another box or sealed inside a plastic bag within the return item’s box.

CDW has sufficient nexus (business presence) in most states and is required to collect sales/use tax on all taxable goods and services we sell. Furthermore, businesses are required by states to self assess and pay sales/use tax on all their taxable purchases. This can be an administrative burden for many customers. CDW simplifies and reduces this tax burden by collecting and remitting sales/use tax on behalf of its customers.

If you are exempt from sales tax, please file a tax exemption form with CDW at the time of purchase. If applicable, please make sure the seller name is listed as “CDW” and the description of purchase is listed as “technology products and services”. You may fax it to 847.371.3250 or email. If you have any questions, please contact your account manager, or email the tax department.

In order to make purchases and be Tax Exempt the purchase must be made with a company issued form of payment (check or credit card) on the CDW company account.

In all instances listed below, tax can be taken off at the time of purchase when the fully completed form (including date and signature) is submitted and the account will be labeled “EXEMPT” by the tax department. The purchaser name on the certificate must match the purchaser name on the account. Once the tax department deems the account “EXEMPT,” it will no longer be necessary for you to bring in the information over and over. However, it is always a good practice to have the information at hand.

Common Types of Illinois Exemptions:

• For Resale Exemption: You must fill out the IL Certificate of Resale (Form CRT-61).
• For Equipment Exemption: (Manufacturing, production agriculture, or graphic arts production) You must fill out the IL Equipment Exemption Certificate (Form ST-587).
• For Government/Education/Non-Profit Organizations: You must bring in a copy the Illinois Tax Exempt Certificate with their Illinois tax I.D. number listed on it. Tax-exempt numbers will start with an E. The certificate must have a valid expiration date. If the expiration date is prior to the purchase date, the tax exemption cannot be honored.
