How group pricing works
The more copies you order, the less each one costs. Four things to know before you choose a quantity:
The price drops at every tier
Volume pricing starts at 20 or 25 copies on most titles. Each book page shows its tiers, up to 51% off list.
Shipping on most orders
Free shipping on most orders over $95 in the contiguous US. Ground delivery is est. 7–10 business days.
Pay by purchase order
Schools and districts pay by purchase order or card. Net 30 from the invoice date for approved accounts. Tax-exempt orders go through with a valid certificate.
Order 10 business days ahead
Order at least 10 business days before your need-by date, so ground delivery arrives with room to spare.
Larger volumes, delivery beyond the contiguous US and rush dates are quoted personally. Your specialist will reply personally within one business day. Request a quote
