4. You approve the order.
5. Payment.
Payment Option #1: Lump sum payment. (cheapest)
With possible payment discounts for, early payment etc.
Note: If the PTA is a non-profit organization or school or other
registered non-profit pays us then no Sales Tax is due. Your
organization can add a handling fund raising fee from the parents.

of your collecting money from the parents.
After Step #4 your organization advertises our website

online ordering fee may also apply.

of our locations.

Extra Kits
Extra Kits after the original order is placed are probably available. The earlier the extra order is place the more likely we will have the items in stock or possibly can get them in time. Of course if items are available and the order is in time for packing with your original order then the extra kit will occur the least extra cost. Pricing may be different for extra kits or individual packing charge may occur. If the extra kit is shipped with the original order there will probably be no shipping charge. If not shipped with the original order then individual pickup or shipping charges will occur. We understand that new students and late orders do happen and will strive to keep prices low for happy parents but, note that individual kit order, packing, and shipment are much more labor involved and costs can balloon very quickly.
Returns
There is no re-stocking charge for any unsold kits that are returned,
however, we can only take back up to 10% of the total number of kits you
ordered. (if you ordered 300 kits, we would take back 30). Kits must be
returned within 30 days and supplies must be in good condition, and unused.
Kits can be physically returned to our stores in Wheaton, Downers Grove
and Lombard. Shipped kits should be sent to our Wheaton store. We do not
pickup or pay for return shipping.
Currently only shipping within the United States.
Discounts or additions are based on group size, sub grouping, prepayment etc.
Sales tax will apply if delivered to or paid for by a charitable or non-profit organization (i.e. a school or PTA when registered is usually tax-free)
