Address Verification

Before you can place orders through VendHub, your delivery address must be verified through our distribution partners. Here's what you need to know:

  • Submit the exact address where you want to receive deliveries (not just your business address)

  • The verification process takes 7-10 days

  • Ensure accuracy when entering your address to avoid delays

  • You cannot place orders until address verification is complete

  • The Address section is also where you can submit your tax exemption documentation

Tax Exemption Documentation

  • All tax exemption forms need to be submitted through VendHub, not directly to Vistar

  • You can submit your tax exemption documentation via the Address section in your account settings

  • Access this section through the menu overflow in your account

  • Tax exemption documents are processed by VendHub administrators

  • Please ensure all documents are legible and valid for your state

  • Important: Tax form handling is ALWAYS handled through VendHub and NOT Vistar

Account Setup Timeline

  • Addresses submitted to VendHub are passed to Vistar

  • New addresses are reviewed weekly on Mondays

  • It takes Vistar approximately one week to process and input your information

  • Vistar assigns an account number and OPCO warehouse based on your location

  • Once assigned, your OPCO should contact you to determine delivery date

  • If your OPCO doesn't reach out, contact Vistar directly with your account number

Delivery Date Confirmation

  • Once your address has been verified, please coordinate with your assigned OPCO to ensure you are assigned a delivery date

  • Your delivery date is determined based on established delivery routes in your area

  • Having a confirmed delivery date is essential before placing your first order

  • If your OPCO hasn't contacted you about scheduling, reach out to them directly using the contact information provided during verification

Existing Vistar Account Handling

  • If you already have a Vistar account (prior to VendHub or through another group), you must notify VendHub

  • This ensures your account is properly linked to Modern Amenities

  • Without notification, you risk being billed twice

  • Vistar needs to know if you're a current customer to avoid creating a duplicate account

Address Change Process

  • To change your delivery address, first contact your OPCO/Vistar directly

  • You can find your OPCO contact information in the Address section of your VendHub account

  • After Vistar completes the address change, notify VendHub at [email protected]

  • VendHub will then update internal records to match Vistar's system

  • Changes made only in VendHub without updating Vistar will cause delivery issues

  • Address changes may impact your delivery schedule due to established routes
