You may also fax requests to us at 617-353-9350, however credentials will not be sent by fax. For your protection, requests will not be taken over the phone.

Or you may use the Request to Send Credentials Form.

Requests will be honored within two (2) business days of receipt. However, if placing a large number of requests, please allow extra time for processing.

Your pre-printed mailing labels help! Providing us with pre-printed mailing labels when you submit your request does two things: it helps us to get your order out faster, and it further ensures the accuracy of your sending. If at all possible, please include labels with your request.

Credentials materials will not be faxed.
