Special Order Items

In addition to stock items listed within this catalog, Cook manufactures Special Order (non-stock) items. Special Order items are subject to a nominal price increase and a minimum order quantity of 5 each to cover order processing considerations.

Standing Order Shipments

The Standing Order Shipments (SOS) Program simplifies orders and shipments of regularly purchased products. Products ordered routinely and in predictable quantities, or special order (non-stock) products required on a regular basis can be scheduled to ship monthly or at some other agreed-upon regular interval. This assures that your order will be received routinely at the designated time. If you are overstocked and do not need your next SOS shipment, simply call 30 days prior to your scheduled ship date and have the order held until your next scheduled shipment.

As a customer of the SOS Program, your pricing is held firm for a 12-month period and you are protected from price increases. The SOS program is not a contract, and can be cancelled in its entirety with a 30-day notice prior to your next scheduled shipment.

If you would like to know more about our Standing Order Shipments Program, or if you are interested in establishing an SOS order, please contact our Customer Service Department, or contact your Cook representative.
