Tips to Make your Job Easier

 

Product Availability

Did you know that when you check your cart out you will now get a message indicating KCDA’s warehouse inventory levels?

For example:

·  If all the KCDA items are in stock the message will say “all items are available to ship”

·  If something is on back order the message will say “Item XXXXX is on backorder and will ship at a later date. Do you want to continue with checkout?” 

If it is not an item you need immediately, click OK and we will ship it as soon as we receive our shipment, if you would like to edit your cart select the cancel button. This will bring you back to your cart and will display how many we have in inventory allowing you to make changes as necessary.  

Please Note: If you would like to know when we will receive any product please contact customer service at KCDA for an expected due date.

 

Electronic Return Authorization

Need to return something? KCDA’s RMA form on line is an easy way to request authorization to return a product and if needed, order a replacement.

To find this form login to www.kcda.org, click on Ordering/Supply Link and click on the tab “Return Authorization Request”. If you are logged into Supply Link you can find the form on the home page.

 Corporate Express Contract

You might notice items on KCDA Supply Link beginning with letters instead of numbers. These are items KCDA has added to supplement our existing line of products carried in our Kent warehouse. These items will SHIP FROM Corporate Express and invoice from KCDA. Any questions you have about Corporate Express items can be directed to customerservice@kcda.org.
