Re: J&R Individual Discount Program

J&R is offering Columbia University employees and students the same corporate pricing and buying power afforded the University. You may buy from J&R at the same prices the University receives.

There are a few simple steps to follow to take advantage of the Columbia University employee and student discount.

  1. This program is for individual purchases only. It is not for departmental purchases, which must be made through normal Purchasing channels.

  2. To view a complete selection of J&R products go to www.jandr.com.

    Call 212-238-9080 ext. 0 or 1-800-221-3191 ext. 0 to speak to an account representative.

  3. Prices are determined on an item-by-item basis and are based upon a percentage over J&R’s cost, not a discount off J&R’s published price.

  4. Orders can be picked up at the corporate sales office or shipped directly to you.

    1. Orders should be placed over the phone before stopping by the corporate sales office by calling the Corporate Sales Division at 212-238-9080 ext 0 or 1-800-221-3191 ext. 0.

    2. Order and pick up hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
