My Order

How can I modify my order, including shipment quantity?
U.S. Borax is unable to accommodate same day or next day changes or additions. Orders that are seven (7) days or more out from shipping may be modified in many regions. For APAC orders, we will need at least 4 weeks notice, provided the orders are not yet packed.

Please contact your customer service representative.
What information is on the order acknowledgement (OA)?
The OA will include:
  • Pick up number
  • Warehouse location
  • Pick up date
  • Delivery date (if U.S. Borax arranged)
  • Material ordered
  • Quantity
  • Pricing and tax (if applicable)
APAC orders are mostly full container load sea shipments so the OA will also include booking details such as:
  • ETS
  • ETD
  • Carrier
  • Vessel name
What is your policy on returns?
Contact your regional sales manager to learn what restocking fees are applicable to your return.

Who do I need to talk to if I think I need a pricing credit?

You will need your purchase order number, the U.S. Borax sales order number (if you have it), the exact product name, quantity you have in question and the approximate date and location of where and when it shipped. If it is a quality issue, the manufacturing lot numbers will also be needed.
