Are there additional charges I should be aware of?
Yes. Additional charges may apply for:

Equipment Pickup, Storage & Returns

Can I pick up equipment without a Purchase Order (P.O.)?
No. For Net Accounts requiring a P.O., a P.O. or payment is required in order to pick up equipment after service.

What happens if I don’t pick up my equipment after service?
