FAQs

When you place a Stock order with CBI your order will be filled by inventory that is in our warehouse.

Stock orders can ship approximately 5 business days after the day the order was confirmed and finalized by you. Learn the difference between a stock and import order.

The Earliest and Latest Ship Dates is your way as the customer to tell us when the best window of time is for us to ship your order to your location. As an example you would not want to receive your Christmas order in May but you would also not want us to ship your Christmas order in December. In this situation an Earliest Ship date of August 1st and a Latest Ship date of October 31st seems appropriate.

Acceptable methods of payment: Cashiers check, money order, cash, wire transfer, check or credit card (Visa, Discover, American Express & Mastercard). Cardholder is required to complete the “CREDIT CARD SALES AGREEMENT” form.

To change your billing or shipping address simply contact your Customer Service Representative with the updated information.

A State Sales And Use Tax Certificate is an official document that is provided to your business by the state that your business exists in. Depending on the state you live in, it can also be called a reseller’s permit, reseller’s license, reseller’s certificate, resale license, sales tax ID or sales tax permit. This document will prevent you as a business from paying sales tax on the items that you purchase from CBI and you will need it to become a customer of ours. This is not an EIN tax number.
