How can I become a Restaurant Depot member without a store nearby?

[letscook04]

I want to sign up for a Restaurant Depot membership account and need to present your business license or tax exemption certificate at the same time.
Is anyone a member? If so, what do I use?

I am/was a member through my cafe. You need a business license from your state, tax ID info, etc. I don't know if PC consutlants qualify. You could call HO to see. I don't know what the regs are in NY.

Thanks for the info. I was trying to avoid calling HO!

I remember the first time I walked through the doors. I swear I heard angels sing.

There is not a store near me...at least a 3 hour drive, maybe 4. I see that they have an online store, but it says you have to take your tax-exempt certificate with you to the store. When I sent an email asking how to get it to them...maybe fax...the Dallas store (closest to me) emailed me back that they did not do online orders. I replied that there was an online store and needed to know how to qualify to use it and have not heard back. His first reply was within an hour of my email, but its been 2 days since I replied to his email and still nothing...lol
