PPE supplies
The HCMA is pleased to provide PPE supply ordering for
members only
. Our collaborative has been working diligently vetting suppliers to ensure we’re using a trusted source in order to get the best pricing and availability for members. In order to secure PPE supplies, we must order in bulk quantities.
Orders will be processed once the supplier’s minimum threshold requirement has been met. Once products have been ordered from our supplier, members will be notified of their anticipated delivery date and sent an invoice to pay for their items individually. The individual invoice will include the following approximate fees: Sales Tax (7%), Merchant Fee (3.5%), Shipping ($8.99 per box), Handling Fee ($0.48 per box), Warehouse fee ($7.50).
Note:
The warehouse fee covers the cost of the professional warehouse and distribution staff necessary to manage this program.
HCMA depends on the pre-order commitments made by members to satisfy the minimum requirements set by our suppliers. Cancellation of an order after the group order has been placed could jeopardize the availability and time it takes to access the supply chain for our Association.
Please note…
