Vendor information
Setting up SHIFT Design as a vendor for a school, city, township, church, or company? This page is for the person who has to make the paperwork happen. Everything below is available by email, usually within one business day: [email protected].
Request our W-9
Email us and a completed, signed IRS Form W-9 comes back within one business day — sooner when your PO is waiting on it. We do not publish tax details on a public web page (and you should be wary of any vendor who does); a request from your finance office is all it takes.
Certificates & compliance paperwork
If your organization requires a certificate of insurance or other compliance paperwork before a first order, send the requirement over — including any certificate-holder wording your office needs — and we will get you what you need. Tell us what your checklist says; that is faster than guessing at it.
POs are welcome
Send a purchase order and we reference its number on the quote, the proof, and the invoice, so your paperwork reconciles without a phone call. If your process needs the written quote first so a PO can be cut against it, that is exactly how our quotes are built — itemized, in writing, and free.
Written quotes for bid files
Need multiple written quotes on file before you can order? We are glad to be one of them. You get an itemized quote on request — quantities, sizes, materials, and finishing spelled out — usually within one business day, with no pressure attached. If we are not the right fit for a job, we will say so rather than pad a bid.
Exempt organizations
Schools, local governments, churches, and qualifying nonprofits: send your Minnesota exemption certificate (Form ST3) with your first order and we set your account up accordingly. Your finance office almost certainly has it on file already — one attachment does it.
Invoices & remittance
Invoices arrive by email with the PO number referenced, and remit-to details are on every invoice. Payment terms are confirmed in writing with your quote. Remittance and account details are never published here — if you receive an email claiming our payment details have changed, call (763) 265-7303 and verify before paying. Your accounts-payable team will know exactly why we say that.
Built for repeat buyers
Most vendor setups come from schools and booster clubs, cities and townships, churches, nonprofits, and contractors whose GCs require paperwork before a sub can print so much as a site sign. Once the setup is done it stays done — reorders run through your print account with no re-onboarding.
