How to Buy from Amazon.com

Summary: This page explains how to place orders with Amazon.com.

Shoppers may place orders with Amazon.com using the Amazon punchout in CruzBuy. See How to Use Punchouts in CruzBuy.

All items shipped by and sold from Amazon.com will ship for free when shoppers use the punchout.

1. Login to CruzBuy and choose the Amazon punchout icon. Then search for the desired item. After finding the needed product, click on the button provided (shown below).

	Items shipped by and sold from Amazon (free shipping)
	Items shipped by third-party suppliers even though sold by Amazon (shopper must pay shipping)

2. Review the next screen that appears to identify the Seller and thus whether the product will be shipped by Amazon.

3. After adding items to your Shopping Cart, click Order via SciQuest to return to CruzBuy and complete your order.

Shoppers must pay shipping for items that are sold through Amazon but ship from third-party suppliers (examples: Grizzly, J&R Music, Computer World or Wirefly).

Pro-card

Shoppers may use a pro-card (instead of the punchout) to place orders with Amazon.com but shipping costs are added to orders placed on the Amazon website and paid with a pro-card. The shipping charges will be displayed on the amazon.com website.

Interim Process for Orders that Generate an "Invalid Payment" Email Notification

A small number of orders may get canceled by Amazon due to an invoicing issue. If you receive an "invalid payment" email from Amazon (identified by "Important Notice: Your Amazon Order # " in the subject line) and would like to place your order with another supplier, please contact Bruce Main via email at brucem@ucsc.edu within 24 hours after you receive the notification and he will cancel the order. Otherwise, Bruce will automatically re-place the order with Amazon.
