What Are My Options? |
| ? | May I order for the whole school year? | |||
| Yes, IMS creates reservations on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the current school year. | ||||
| ? | May I order for the next school year? | |||
| Yes, but IMS will hold future school year orders for processing beginning July 15 each year. | ||||
| ? | Am I restricted on how many items I can order? | |||
| No, not at all. Order as much as you like, as often as you like. | ||||
| ? | Will I get everything I order? | |||
| Not always. Because of previous reservations or date conflicts, approximately 5% will not get reserved. | ||||
| ? | How soon should I place my order? | |||
| As early as possible. IMS will reserve items as we receive orders, up to noon the day before you need it. | ||||
| ? | Will I get an acknowledgment of my order? | |||
| Yes, IMS returns a confirmation for all reservations. | ||||
| ? | How long do I get to keep the material? | |||
| One week (7 days). | ||||
| ? | What do I do if I need to keep an item beyond 7 days? | |||
| You must phone an IMS rep at 262-369-9200 to request an extension. | ||||
| ? | What if I forget to call in an extension and miss the IMS return? | |||
| You then become responsible for the returns on the date due. | ||||
| ? | Who delivers my order? | |||
| The standard delivery is IMS. You may contract other delivery methods. | ||||
| ? | Am I responsible for returning IMS material? | |||
| Yes. IMS makes it easy for you by providing you a Merchandise Return label, or issuing a UPS call tag. | ||||
| ? | Where should I leave the items being returned? | |||
| If by IMS Delivery, at the drop
point as determined by your site. If by Merchandise Return label, in any U.S. Mail Box. If by UPS Call-tag, at the UPS Delivery Location. |
||||
| ? | When should my due items be at the drop point for return? | |||
| The evening prior to your pick-up. (If you wait until the date due, you're likely too late.) | ||||
| ? | How can I tell when my items are due? | |||
| Look on the IMS label affixed to every item, the due date is clearly marked. | ||||
| ? | What happens on a snow day? | |||
| IMS will attempt to deliver and pick-up the following day. | ||||
| ? | What happens if we're snowed out for two or more days? | |||
| IMS will automatically extend all items one full week, unless being retrieved by UPS. | ||||
| ? | What happens on Holidays or if we're closed on our delivery day? | |||
| IMS will automatically create two-week reservations, allowing retrieval on your next available delivery day, except when retrieved by UPS. | ||||
| ? | What happens if we're closed on our delivery day for two weeks in a row or more? | |||
| Special delivery and retrieval arrangements must be made with IMS. | ||||
