How to Order

For your convenience, we offer three ways to order at TeachersParadise.com: Shopping Basket, Member Express Checkout. and Purchase Orders (PO) for organizations.

Online Shopping Basket can be used for ordering any of our products, and some new customers find it the simplest way to order. The Shopping Basket must be used when you want to send gifts, or use gift certificates.

Member Express Checkout is the fast, easy, safe way to buy online. Just fill out your Express Checkout Settings once and you’re set. No more forms to fill out! From that point on, every Member Express Checkout purchase you make will be quick and easy. And every purchase you make with Express Checkout is backed by TeachersParadise.com’s Safe Shopping Guarantee, so you never have to worry.

Purchase Orders are accepted from US government and US educational institutions without any requirements other than that listed on the Purchase Order Information Page. International organizations have different requirements, please review all requirements in the Purchase Order Information Page.

No matter which method you choose, you’ll hear from us! We’ll send you an email to confirm that we’ve received your order once you’ve placed it. We’ll also send you an email to let you know that your order has shipped and is on its way. (So make sure you give us your correct email address, or these important messages will never reach you.)
