The shipping cost for your order is based on the weight of the items you ordered (plus packing material), the shipping method, and the destination zip code. We maintain rate information obtained directly from UPS, US Postal Service and FedEx.

If you order an item that is currently out of stock, the postage will be re-calculated to reflect only those items that will be shipped to you at this time.

If a rate is not available for your preferred shipping method or if your order is being shipped to an address outside the United States, the actual shipping costs will be assessed at the time your order has been filled and shipped.

In accordance with applicable law, NPH currently collects sales tax in the following states: MO, MI, and KS. Unless something goes wrong with the order (backordered, account isn't validated, etc.), the exact sales tax is calculated and displayed when your order is placed. Canada GST (Goods and Services Tax) is added to orders delivered in Canada.

If tax has been charged on any portion of your order and you need to take advantage of your tax exempt status, please submit a copy of your resale certificate, exemption certificate, or other acceptable proof of your exemption status for the state where the items will be shipped.

First, place your order through our web site. After you've placed your order, please submit the necessary information by fax to Accounts Receivable at 1-816-531-0923.

Please include the following:

• Your order number
• Email address
• Acceptable proof of exempt status
• Name of organization
• Name of person submitting the order
• Mark your fax "Attn: Accounts Receivable"

Though your organization is tax exempt, your online order will initially show tax:

• If we do not have a current tax exempt certificate. When we receive and approve your tax exemption request, we can apply a tax credit to your order.


• If you are establishing a web account for the first time and the new account has not yet been validated. If you have a tax-exempt NPH account established, the web account validation will recalculate sales tax based on your current exemption.

No. Your order must be charged to a tax-exempt organizational account in order to receive exemption. An order placed on a personal account and paid by a tax-exempt organization will not be exempt from tax.
