Canada - Who handles my account?
-
Accounting operations are currently centralized at UL's corporate headquarters in Northbrook, IL. Within the Accounting Department, accounts are divided into Global Operations and U.S. Operations.
- How is the amount of the preliminary deposit determined?
-
This amount is based on your UL credit status and the established project price.
- Do I have to pay a preliminary deposit each time I initiate an investigation?
-
We have programs that allow flexibility in preliminary deposits for returning customers. Contact your project engineer for more information.
- How can I get a copy of an invoice?
-
If there is no name referenced on the invoice and you do not know who at your company worked with UL on this particular project, contact a Northbrook Accounting Client Service representative at +01-847-272-8800, ext. 43100, or fax your request to +01-847-509-6354.
- Whom can I contact for assistance with e-invoice?
-
Customers using e-invoice can contact us worldwide at e-invoice@us.ul.com or via telephone at +1.847.664.2222.
- Invoices for my company are being sent to the wrong person. How do I get this corrected?
-
Send your request to our Customer Experience Center at CEC@us.ul.com or call 1-877-UL-HELPS (1-877-854-3577) to speak with a friendly customer service professional.
- Have you received my completed new work application and/or preliminary deposit?
-
Contact your UL project engineer regarding the receipt of the application.
- What are the payment terms for UL issued invoices?
-
The terms are payable upon receipt.
- How do I obtain preferred credit status?
-
To receive this status, fax Pam B. Lind of UL's Global Credit Department at +1-847-313-3439, or e-mail her at: Pamela.B.Lind@us.ul.com. Please include the following in your fax or e-mail request:
- UL subscriber #
- Contact person of requesting company
- Title of contact person
- Phone of contact person
- Fax of contact person
- Proof of name change or ownership change, if applicable
After an analysis of your Dun & Bradstreet rating and payment history with UL, you will be notified whether or not you are approved. If you are approved, the appropriate contracts will be forwarded to you for your signature. The credit analysis process usually takes 48 hours to complete. Your return of the signed agreement establishes preferred credit.
- How do I get credit check status removed and begin new projects?
-
To begin this process, please contact UL's Accounting Department via phone at +01-847-272-8800, ext. 43100 or fax at: +01-847-509-6354.
- Why is the new work invoice more than the project price?
-
This is probably due to the reimbursable/ out-of-pocket expenses not included in the project price. These costs cannot be calculated until the project is completed.
- What are reimbursable expenses?
-
Reimbursable expenses are the out-of-pocket expenses UL incurs during the project investigation. These may include materials, supplies, travel expenses, etc.
- How do I get a purchase order number on my invoices?
-
Send a written request with a copy of your purchase order to Customer Experience Center at CEC@us.ul.com or call 1-877-UL-HELPS (1-877-854-3577) to speak with a friendly Customer Service Professional. Your purchase order number will be entered into the billing instructions for your company, so that future invoices will include the purchase order number. Changes or updates should also be handled this way.
- What is the model number of the product covered by this file or invoice?
-
This should be located on your invoice. If not, check with your UL project handler or Customer Service Professional at the office you work with.
- I received a follow-up services (FUS) invoice for a dropped manufacturing location. How can I get this charge taken off my bill?
-
All requests for factory or file withdrawals must be made in writing by the Applicant of the file. In order for adjustments to be made to the Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF), the request for withdrawal must be made prior to March 15 of the year found on the Invoice in question. Invoices covering the AMF are generated January 31 of each year and mailed to all UL Customers immediately thereafter.
If an inspection has been conducted at a manufacturing location prior to UL being notified, the inspection charge remains valid. A letter requesting withdrawal should be submitted as soon as possible in order to avoid future inspections at that particular location.
- How do I obtain a copy of the inspection report to support this FUS invoice?
-
A signed copy of the inspection report is provided to the manufacturing representative at your manufacturing location at the time of the inspection. If you cannot locate it, please contact the Customer Experience Center at CEC@us.ul.com or call 1-877-UL-HELPS (1-877-854-3577) to speak with a friendly Customer Service Professional.
- What is a graduated annual maintenance fee and what does it cover?
-
This fee, assessed on January 31 each year, covers the cost of maintaining a client's listing. It covers costs such as: maintaining UL's database system for UL Listings, Recognitions and Classifications; mailing pertinent and relevant information for clients on a specific category basis; supporting field and office staff that assist with technical questions; printing company information in our product directories; supplementing Standards development; and other areas. This fee is assessed to each client's manufacturing location. The amount of the fee is based on the number of UL files at each manufacturing location.
