Express ran a scheduled update on Friday, September 27, 2019.
Some things to note:
- Express will not be supported on Internet Explorer versions IE9 and below. We recommend using Google Chrome or the most recent version of whichever internet browser you choose.
- For SMART Finance users – The next time you login through SMARTeR, you will see a message at the top of Express instructing you to update your profile information. You can follow the link in the alert or click on your name in the top menu bar to update your profile. Updating your information will ensure that any time anything is shared with you inside Express, like a shopping list, you will receive an email letting you know.
- For approvers – As an approver, the options to delete or edit items will improve. You will now see an icon (red circle w/a line) for each line item, replacing the check boxes and “remove selected” button. To edit a quantity, you will click edit items and then update the quantity.

Please note that Blick Art Materials requires a $49 order to get free shipping (some exceptions apply). To minimize shipping charges from Blick, we’re adding a new rule that will begin on August 16, 2019, at 4:00 p.m Central: “When an Express order contains Blick items, the total of the Blick items must be a minimum of $49.00.”
If you have any pending orders containing Blick items below the $49 Blick minimum, please approve, deny, or edit those orders before August 16, 2019. An easy way to meet the $49 minimum is to pool Blick items into one order. A reminder that Blick needs a copy of your tax exempt certificate on your first order. Please send it to Heather Havens at [email protected].
If you have any questions, please call 888-739-3289 or email [email protected].
As a quick reference for you, here is a link to our updated Express Shopping Notes Flyer which outlines Express Vendor Discounts and Shipping Notes.
We look forward to working with you again this year.
