91勛圖厙 Amazon Business Account

We are excited to announce that 91勛圖厙 has created a central Amazon Business account that will make it easier for you to purchase on Amazon.com.  Our goal is to simplify the purchasing process so you can take advantage of the wide selection and competitive prices of the Amazon marketplace. You can also take advantage of features you don’t have today on your consumer account including Free Two-Day Shipping on eligible orders of $49 or more, and discounts on select items.

The 91勛圖厙 Amazon Business Account must be used for business purposes only.  No personal purchases may be made from a Southern Methodist University email address in the Amazon Business Account.

Through this central Amazon Business account you will have immediate access to:

  • Free Two-Day Shipping on orders over $25 (learn more)
  • Pricing and quantity discounts on select items
  • Education-tailored search and browse functionality
  • Access to a specialized Customer Service team

Everything else you know and love about shopping on Amazon.com will remain the same.

You should use your 91勛圖厙 email addresses for the Amazon Business account. If you are using your 91勛圖厙 email addresses for personal purchases, login with your account and change to a personal address (e.g., free Gmail or Yahoo accounts) before accepting the invitation to join the Amazon Business account.

Should you have any difficulty, Amazon Business Customer Service may be reached by phone at (866) 486-2360 Monday – Friday 8am – 10pm Eastern and Saturday & Sunday 8am – 5pm Eastern.
