Ordering

To purchase for your department, all you need is a departmental Shortcode. And, of course, you're always welcome to come by the store to shop!

Service during temporary store closure

We have partnered with U-M Procurement to provide direct shipping to your home address when ordering with a departmental Shortcode. Please review our special process before you place your order.

Payment

We process departmental sales via U-M Shortcode; we are not able to accept P-Cards due to university regulations. Departmental sales are not subject to sales tax.

Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP)

Through Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP), all Apple devices purchased from Tech Shop are fully compatible with the software used to manage university-owned hardware, which means they are automatically integrated with the U-M IT support environment as soon as you make the purchase.

• Tech Shop Apple Purchases
  All eligible Apple devices purchased through the Tech Shop are automatically enrolled in DEP at point-of-sale.
• M-Marketsite Apple Purchases
  All eligible Apple devices purchased via the Apple punch-out on M-Marketsite are automatically enrolled in DEP.
• Other Apple Purchases
  macOS devices purchased through an outside channel (e.g. online Apple Education Store or the Apple Store at Briarwood Mall) are not eligible for DEP enrollment. iOS devices purchased outside of the Tech Shop or M-Marketsite can be prepared manually via Apple Configurator.

Gift Cards

Tech Shop offers gift cards for use by those faculty, staff, and students who are eligible to purchase from us. The university's Standard Practice Guide has policies that all departments should be aware of regarding the purchasing and dispensing of gift cards.

Please see Section 501.12 of the SPG.

Software

Tech Shop sells licensed software for personal use. Departments may only purchase licensed software on a Shortcode for use on a faculty/staff member's personal computer.

For information about purchasing licensed software products for use on university-owned computers, please contact ITS Software Services.

Tech Repair

Departments are welcome to take advantage of our authorized repair service for university-owned devices under warranty or charged to a Shortcode.

Departmental services include simplified repair or replacement of accidentally damaged devices insured by the university. Through our partnership with Risk Management, we can submit the claim on your behalf and receive reimbursement directly. No need for your department to file a claim, pay for repair, or wait for reimbursement.
