Sales Tax

The University of Arkansas Computer Store & Service Center in accordance with Arkansas state law is required to charge sales tax based on the ship to address. Our website is set to display local taxes based on shipments to Fayetteville city limits (currently 9.25%). If your order will ship to another county or city, the check out page will only serve as a tax estimate and you will be billed the correct taxes for your location once the product ships to you.

There is a city and county partial tax rebate for single orders over $2500.00 which can be claimed through the state. University institutional purchases over $2500.00 will have the tax discount automatically applied (The discouted rate is 9.25% on the first 2500, and 6% on the rest of teh order), but for personal or outside parties, your full local tax amount will be billed and it is up to you to claim your rebate from the state.

Purchase Eligibility

The University of Arkansas Computer Store sells technology products that are academically discounted. Customers must be educationally affiliated to purchase our academically discounted products. Academically affiliated means faculty, staff, student or department in an educational institution within the state of Arkansas. Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 3 credit hours for purchase eligibility. The U of A Computer Store determines affiliation by viewing an institutionally issued identification or a current class schedule.

The U of A Computer Store Service Center is an authorized repair center for Gateway, Dell, Apple and HP LaserJets. These authorized service provider contracts restrict our warranty provider status to units purchased at academic prices. Gateway, Dell, Apple and HP provide web sites that define the warranty of a specific serial number and this site allows us to determine warranty repair eligibility. [Top]

Departmental Sales Process

The U of A Computer Store is the contract provider for Dell, Gateway, Apple and HP peripherals for the U of A campus. Departments must adhere to state and university procurement rules when purchasing. Departments can purchase Dell, Gateway, Apple or HP peripherals by submitting an IREQ in BASIS to the U of A Computer Store, using their p-card or foundation funds.

Departments must visit the U of A Computer Store web site to obtain a quote or UPC Code for a computer. This quote is used to order regardless of the type of funds utilized to purchase. P-card computer purchases are limited to $2500 including tax. For more detailed information regarding p-card purchases, visit the U of A p-card information page. Blanket numbers are not an acceptable payment option for the purchase of computers. Departments can use their blanket number to purchase printers or any other non-computer hardware that is less than $2,500.00. Once the order is received it will be ordered, received, billed and delivered. The billing occurs the same day of anticipated delivery and a receipt will be given during delivery. On campus delivery is free for departmental purchases.[Top]
