Each Amazon vendor assigns their items a UNSPSC code that reflects what product category it falls under. The vendor-assigned code is often correct . . . but not always. When you encounter a block, the message at the top will give a brief explanation. Please check the Central Warehouse Catalog for office supplies (pencils, staplers, paper, etc.) before requesting the block be removed. When you select a blocked Amazon item, copy the URL link at the top of your web browser and send it to the buyer over that commodity (see below). If you do not know which buyer is over the item, send the link to Kris Wishart or Rachel Mariano and they will get the request sent to the correct buyer. Please allow a little time for these emails to be answered. You will receive an email stating the block has been removed. All unblocked Amazon orders must be made within a couple of hours of you being notified. Purchasing leaves the office at 4:00 p.m. and all blocks will be reinstated at that time, if not earlier.
