Will consumers be able to view and
purchase from this site?
Unfortunately, consumers are not able to
view or purchase items from Dodge’s Web
store at this time.
Our
Web store is only open to funeral
directors, embalmers, medical examiners,
coroners, and mortuary schools and their
students. Consumers can make purchases for
consumer-oriented good such as Velvatone,
Forest Fresh, QuikSan, etc. by calling our
Customer Service Department at
800-443-6343.
Does having the Web store mean that you
are eliminating your phone-in customer
service capability?
Absolutely not. Everyone at Dodge realizes
that your time is valuable. We believe
that providing our customers an additional
opportunity to purchase at times
convenient to them is an added benefit.
You may still call our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-443-6343 or your Dodge
representative if you prefer.
How do I set up a Web store account?
In order to set up a Web store account and
order through the Web store, you must have
an established Dodge account or be a
student associated with an accredited
mortuary school. For first time users,
please click
here
to complete our online Web store
registration form or contact or your Dodge
Sales Representative to set up your Web
store account.
Can all Dodge customers order from this
site?
Existing Dodge U.S. “trade” customers can
order from this site. Schools, Service
Corporation International (SCI) customers,
and Dodge employees cannot currently place
orders on the site, though they can browse
technical and basic product information.
What
if I don’t have an established Dodge
account?
You can call Customer Service
(1-800-443-6343) and they can set up an
account for you. You will have to provide
a copy of your funeral director's,
embalmer's, or medical examiner's license
in order to purchase. Students can be set
up as contacts associated to a school or
funeral home. The contact designation will
allow students to browse our web store;
however, they will not be able to view
prices or purchase.
How soon will my Web store registration
request be approved?
Web store requests that are processed by
your sales representative will be approved
immediately. Registrations submitted via
our online form will take up to 1 business
day for full access including online
ordering (if applicable). Limited access
will allow you to view all the technical
resources you are used to seeing through
our previous website while waiting for
your account to be verified for online
ordering.
Why can’t I get full access to the web
store right away?
Due to the nature of Dodge’s business, as
well as the ability to charge Web store
orders on open account and through credit
cards on file, Web store registrants must
receive final approval from their Dodge
sales rep before being authorized to order
online.
Can more than one user order on behalf of
our firm?
Customers with Administrator access to the
web store can create additional users for
their account without going through their
Dodge rep or Customer Service by going to
“My Profile > Users > Add a User”.
What types of user access are available?
There are three types of user access
available to Dodge Web Store Registrants:
Administrator
– Has full access to the Web Store and
online ordering, and can add additional
users to the account.
Power user
– Has the same access as the
Administrator but cannot add additional
users.
Guest-No Prices
– Can browse all technical information
and Dodge products, but cannot see
prices or place online orders. This
access is generally assigned to
students, general funeral home
employees, SCI customers and Dodge
International customers.
How do I log-in?
If you have already set up a Web store
account, go to
http://shop.dodgeco.com
and enter your email address and password.
If you have forgotten your password, there
is a link to retrieve it.
What information can I view after logging
in to the Web store?
Depending on your access, our Web store
allows access to online ordering,
The Dodge Magazine,
technical resources, catalogs, price
lists, and periodic special offerings.
Will I be able to review my Dodge account
transactions from this site?
There is a "My Account” page that will
allow you to view and track your orders,
check invoices, and search past activity.
Will my Dodge Representative receive
commissions when I order online?
Dodge Sales Representatives have always
been a very valuable resource for our
customers and will continue to be.
Regardless of how an order is placed or
received, you can be assured that your rep
will receive the appropriate commission.
What should I do if I need overnight or
second day delivery service?
If priority service (i.e. Next Day, 2nd
Day) is needed, please place your order
with our Customer Service Department to
ensure that your order gets processed and
shipped immediately.
What if my order requires personalization?
Can this order be placed through the Web
store?
Personalized orders may be placed through
the Web store unless they require priority
service. Please continue to place
priority orders through our Customer
Service Department or your Dodge Sales
Representative.
Will I be able to order items that are
shipped direct from another manufacturer?
Yes, all items in our store that will be
shipped from an outside source will be
designated with the label "Direct
Delivery." Please take note that they will
arrive in separate packaging and not at
the same time as the rest of your order.
This is because the item(s) will ship
directly from the manufacturer. These
items will be invoiced separately, and our
freight discount will not apply.
Will the freight company leave my order if
there’s no one there to receive it?
No. Someone must be available to inspect
for damage and sign for receipt of the
order.
Is it possible to obtain a quote prior to
ordering?
Quotes are a great way to avoid making an
error in ordering. You may contact our
Customer Service Department or your Dodge
Sales Representative to obtain a quote.
How will I know that orders I have placed
through the web store have been received
and processed?
Upon placing the order, you will receive
an email confirmation. You will then be
able to see the status of your order in
the “My Account” page of the web store.
How can I cancel or change a web store
order?
The web store ordering system is automated
so should you find it necessary to change
or cancel any order, please call our
Customer Service Department.
How should I order replacement parts for
items such as cots?
Many times replacement parts are treated
as special orders as they are specific to
certain models, colors, or uses. Please
continue to place these orders through our
Customer Service Department or your Dodge
Sales Representative.
What should I do if I have to return an
item(s)?
All returns require authorization and
Dodge is happy to coordinate that for you
with the appropriate package delivery or
transportation company. Contact our
Customer Service Department for
assistance. Should you have other
questions, you can find more information
in our
return policy.
When will my order ship and how long will
it take for delivery?
Orders for items that are in stock that
are placed by noon (Monday through
Friday), are usually processed and shipped
that same day. Depending on your location,
ground shipments are generally delivered
within 3-5 business days. Items that are
sent directly from the manufacturer or
another vendor typically take longer.
Are there shipping restrictions on
chemical orders?
Recent changes in shipping regulations now
allow all but a few of our chemicals to be
shipped in “Small Quantities” without
hazmat fees. We will always do our best to
ship your orders in the most economical
way.
Can I have my order shipped to a Post
Office Box?
Unfortunately, Dodge does not ship to post
office boxes. This allows for better
management of our policy of selling only
to funeral service professionals.
What are your payment terms?
Our terms are 1%/15, net 30 days. As long
as you pay your bill within 15 days of the
invoice date, you can take an additional
1% discount off of the total merchandise
price. This does not include tax and
freight. Please note that this 1% discount
does not apply to Credit Card or
Check-by-Phone payments.
What payment methods are available when I
order through the web store?
All Dodge customers whose accounts are in
good standing may charge their purchase to
their account. If you are a "credit card
on file" account we will charge your
orders to your credit card as usual.
How do I become a credit card on file
customer?
“Credit card on file” customers sign up to
have all their purchases (Web store or
phone-in orders) charged to an approved
credit card. Credit card on file customers
are not entitled to term discounts on
their orders, but do receive any eligible
freight discount. If you wish to sign up
to be a credit card on file customer with
Dodge, please fill out the
credit card on file form.
Fill out and return the form via our
secure fax number, which is on the bottom
of the form.
How do I find my account balance?
Orders and invoices can be retrieved in
the “My Account” page of the Web store.
You must contact our Customer Service
Department for your account balance.
Do I have to pay finance charges?
The only time that a customer would pay
finance charges is when an invoice is over
30 days old. Invoices that are past due,
are subject to 1.5% interest charges per
month and will no longer be eligible to
receive discounts on terms or freight.
What discounts are available on products
purchased from Dodge?
Our
Cumulative Purchase Plan
is available on eligible chemicals. As
chemical purchases increase, so does your
discount. Your Dodge sales representative
can explain the benefits of this program.
What discounts are available on shipping
from Dodge?
You will receive a 25% discount on freight
costs for orders of eligible product
valued at $200.00-$399.99. The freight
discount increases to 50% when your order
of eligible products totals $400.00 or
more. Your account must be paid within
terms to take advantage of this discount.
Eligible products include all 24 bottle
cases of chemicals, all 6 bottle cases of
chemicals, all stocked urns & sharing
urns, and other miscellaneous items.
Please see the
freight policy
for complete details. Freight for direct
delivery items is not included in this
policy. |
