A: In most cases the answer is no, unless the certificate you send is indicated as a Single Purchase certificate, or describes a specific purchase order. A Blanket exemption certificate can be kept on file and used for more than one purchase, however you will need to indicate on each of your orders whether tax exemption is applicable. In some states however, we are only allowed to keep a certificate on file for a certain period of time, then we must obtain a new certificate.

Q. Purchasing exchange parts?


A) U.S. Customers: Anyone is eligible to order exchange parts as long as they have a defective core (same part that they are ordering) to return to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. If you are a registered user you need to have the exchange part option marked in your profile. Exchange parts are parts that have been repaired (refurbished) and could be less expensive than new parts. There are two different exchange part types, exchange 1 and exchange 2, each one shows the parts price divided in two elements visible upfront, the list price will always be charged at minimum, the defective core charge depends upon the exchange type and on Hewlett Packard Enterprise receiving the defective core from the customer on time, if you don"t return it on time you will be billed the defective core charge in addition to the part list price less any applicable discount in the final billing. Hewlett Packard Enterprise ships exchange parts with pre-paid return labels for the defective core. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Parts Store will show whether the part you searched has an exchange option and which one applies. Exchange 1: If your defective core is returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise within 30 days, the defective core charge will be credited. If you don’t receive the return label send a request to Assistance Request Form. Exchange 2: Please return your defective part to Hewlett-Packard within 3 working days after you receive the replacement part. If Hewlett-Packard has not received your defective part within 15 (fifteen) days, the cost of the replacement (shown in "Defective Core Charge" column) will be charged to you. For return label questions contact us by Chat or to our Call Center.

B) Canada Customers: the concept is the same than in U.S. but with only one and different exchange type. Exchange 1: If your defective core is returned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise within 15 days, the defective core charge will be credited.
