Amazon Business provides a dynamic marketplace of products with changing prices and quantities. Controls have been put in place to account for these fluctuations. Although the email instructs you to contact your Amazon Business Account Administrator, the best way to get more information on a halted order is to contact Amazon Business Customer Service by clicking the Contact Us link when logged into your account.

Yes. There are five instances in which orders can be cancelled due to limitations. 

Amazon Business limitations:

• Safeguards – If the approval is not completed within the seven day cart lock, and the order falls outside of the safeguards at the time of approval, the item or order will be cancelled. 

• Multiple PunchOut Sessions – Multiple PunchOut sessions can result in a cancelled order. When shopping on Amazon Business through PunchOut, make sure to use one PunchOut Session per order. 

• Changing or Modifying Cart – If PO is sent with deleted line items or modified quantities, the order will be rejected. 

• Address on Final PO Differs from Address at Checkout – If the checkout address is in the contiguous US, but the address on the PO is outside the contiguous US, the order will be cancelled. 

• Zip Code Change for Next Day Delivery – If the zip code on the final PO differs from the zip code used for the address at checkout and the item is set for next day delivery, the order will be cancelled. 

Any order subject to an approval workflow will not be processed until final approval. The order will remain in your order history for up to 7 days as “pending” until Amazon receives approval confirmation. Once approved you will receive an email confirmation. If the order is not approved within 7 days, the order will be cancelled and you will be notified via email. If the cart was cancelled and you still need the items, you will need to submit the order again for approval. 

No. Business purchases should only be made through the eProcurement System. If you attempt to make a purchase outside of the eProcurement System you will not be able to check out.
