Purchase Orders
The process has changed.
We accept Purchase Orders from Australian institutions such as schools and government departments and we ask that you place the order on our website.
If you are in New Zealand, we prefer you to purchase on our website using a Credit/Debit Card or PayPal. If you need an Invoice upfront, scroll down for your options.
Here’s how Australian Schools and Institutions can use a Purchase Order on our website.
1. Create an Account on our website via the “My Account” button top right. If you already have an Account, login (if you forgot your password, reset your password using the button provided to do that. Note: If you take a guess at your password and get it wrong, you will be locked out for 30 minutes).
2. Add the items you want to purchase to your shopping cart.
3. Click “View Cart” to check your order (make sure the number of items you want is correct).
4. Click “Proceed to Checkout”.
5. Your Billing Details will be automatically loaded, check them and add your State from the dropdown menu.
6. Click “Next”, if you want the items sent to a different address add that here or click “Next”.
7. In the Checkout choose the “Purchase Order” option and write your Purchase Order Number in the box.
8. Accept the Terms and click “Place Order”. The website will place your order on hold and email you our Tax Invoice. Please pass our Invoice to the person responsible for payment. We will change your order to “Processing” when it is packed, you will receive an email notifying you. When the order is dispatched you will receive another email with the tracking number.
9. If you have problems or questions call our Office on (02) 5105 5262.

Schools in New Zealand – We recommend schools in New Zealand who can’t pay by Credit/Debit card or PayPal on our website and need an Invoice upfront, email us their order [email protected] and we will manually Invoice you. The Invoice we send you will contain an embedded link to pay by Credit/Debit card. A lot of schools in NZ have difficulty transferring funds into our Australian Bank Account and need to pay by Credit/Debit Card so paying on our website is the quickest way.
Our Terms – Our Terms for Purchase Orders are strictly payment within 30 days. Payment details are on the Invoice we send you.
