Florida Dealers: The Busy Season Is Here! What To Do To Stay Prepared
for Auto Dealers on Thursday, March 3, 2016 by Ashten MaysIt’s tax time, dealers! When your sales pick up, don’t forget to stock up on temporary Print-On-Demand tag stock. In order to stay ahead of the curve, you can conveniently check how much tag stock you have left, right in your ADD account.
To do this, click on your ADDTag tab, then go to your Order Tags sub- tab. There, you can filter by date and view your tag order history. Also here you will then be able to see how many pieces of stock are still available for use in each batch you have ordered. This is the best way to monitor and stay on top of your stock number, and know when to order new stock and stay prepared! ADD temporary tag stock packages ordered Monday through Thursday before 3 PM EST are delivered next-day delivery. Orders made on Fridays will be delivered by the following Monday, while orders placed over the weekend are delivered by the following Tuesday.
Another way to keep your business prepared is to keep DMV-issued pre-printed tags on hand in the event of a Florida ETR outage. These pre-printed tags are available at your local tag office in multiples of five, and can only be used if the DMV or Auto Data Direct is experiencing difficulties and dealers are unable to access the online Temporary Tag or Temporary Metal Plate Transfer System.
In order to use the pre-printed tags correctly, they must be reported once the system is back online. To do this, click on your ADDTag tab and go through the normal steps of issuing a print-on-demand temporary tag. When you reach the last stage of the temporary tag issuance process, instead of selecting the “Print-On-Demand” option and inputting the tag stock control number you will select “Offline Issuance”. In order to stay compliant with the DMV procedures and protocol, it is important to complete this step after issuing a DMV-issued pre-printed tag.
As always, if you have any questions about ordering temporary tag stock or emergency outage procedures, don’t hesitate to email ADD or call one of our friendly and knowledgeable customer service representatives at 855-300-3455 , 8 AM to 8 PM EST. Se habla español.
