Can my employees come in and purchase without me?
Pre-registered buyers may authorize employees to purchase for them by supplying those names on their Resale Certificate and/or by signed note or letter accompanying the employee at time of purchase.
Can I bring my customers with me to show them new products or send them in without me?
The licensed buyer must accompany his client or customer in order for that person to gain admission to Askren & Sons. A phone call prior to that visit would be most appreciated as we find it difficult to assist with questions regarding estimates, pricing, etc.
