Timeline for the Reimbursement Process

Amazon.com is a great place from which to purchase learning resources, and we at THEE want to help you know which document that you need to send to us with your reimbursement request (Hint: we need the invoice document).

Let’s talk about Amazon receipts and how to submit those for reimbursement. Amazon receipts can be a little bit tricky because Amazon sends you multiple emails with different information on the emails, basically from the time that you place your order until your order is delivered. Unfortunately, none of those emails actually have your invoice, and they don’t have quite the right information. The information that we need is we need the information on the item that is being purchased, the cost of that item, the GST on that item, your name and shipping information, as well as the date that your order was placed. So all of that can actually be found on your actual invoice from Amazon. Their invoice will look like this. You can see it says “invoice” up here, and it has your name, your shipping information, the date it’s on here, the actual item, the cost, the GST is all listed on one document.

I’m going to kind of go through a way to find that on your Amazon account now. Right on the very front page, top right corner, there’s a button that says “returns and orders.” You just have to click on that, and it will take you to all of your orders. Now obviously if you place lots of Amazon orders, you might have to scroll a little bit to find the specific one you’re looking for. When you do, also on the right hand side there will be a little button that says has a few different things listed, but one of them is “invoice.” So when you click on that, sometimes there are multiple invoices for each order as we know when you place an order with multiple things they come in different shipments. I think that’s how they let them out for your invoices, so that is totally fine if you have to submit multiple invoices for these different items, but you will have multiple items on an invoice if they come together. You can download that invoice, it’s a PDF, download it to your computer, and then you can attach that directly to your reimbursement form and the email that you’re going to send us. So when you pull that up, if there are things on the specific invoice that maybe are personal items that you’re not looking to be reimbursed, please cross that off. I know we do ask that you try and keep your educational items separate from your personal items, but I know sometimes, you know, something gets in there and that’s fine. Just let us know because otherwise we have to try and figure out what’s educational, what you’re trying to submit for, stuff like that, and it’s not always it doesn’t always make sense to us as much as maybe to yourself. So just cross those off if you can.

And so then on that invoice it will look just like this one, and it will have all of this lovely information for us, and it’s in PDF form already. You download that to your computer, and that’s exactly what we need. Now when you do that, you can because our reimbursement form is also PDF, you can attach it to that. If you don’t want to do that, you can just attach the PDF as well to the email and that’s fine. If you have any questions about this, you can absolutely give us a call, but that’s pretty much all that we need. Just go into your Amazon account, download that invoice for us and attach it to your reimbursement form and your reimbursement request email. Thank you, have a great day.
