Five Easy Steps!

1.	School Supply List The first step is to send us the next year's school supply list for each grade level as soon as possible. The following information should appear on each list: grade level, description of each item required and amount of each item required. Helpful hint: Make sure each item is clearly described and put the School Depot¨ item number next to each item to assure accuracy. Have the head grade level teacher and/or principal approve the list before sending it to us. Have the teacher initial the correct copy to indicate approval.
2.	Approving the Grade Level Package When we receive your school supply list, we will prepare a computerized printout for each grade level in your school itemizing the cost. It is your responsibility to review each printout for accuracy before approving it, because this is the basis for your entire order. If you find an error or wish to make a change, call us and we will prepare another copy for that grade level for your approval. Once the printout is approved, it becomes the official list for your school since your packages will be based on this printout.
3.	Deciding on a Plan Once the printout has been approved, you decide whether your school wants to use the Bulk, Packaged, or Packaged Plus Plan. Sales tax is not included in the Bulk or Packaged cost. Call or email us for more information on Packaged Plus Plan.
4.	Amount to Order Bulk - We will figure how much product you need for the number of packages you will make. This service is free of charge. First Timers: We encourage you to take orders from the parents to know how many packages you need for each grade. The key to your school's success is to promote the Back-to-School program to parents.
5.	Payment Bulk & Packaged - Payment for these plans is due in full on or before September 1st. This due date should fall after the sale to the parents has been completed. Delivery for these plans is at no cost to your school when these payment terms are met. Free delivery in certain areas only. Packaged Plus - Payment is due by the last day of school. The profit and volume discount will be sent to your school in September. School Depot¨ will pay the sales tax which you have already collected.

Delivery
School Depot^¨ will deliver your Back-to-School supplies free of charge in Texas if payment terms are met for these plans. All orders in the greater Houston area will be shipped by our personnel from our Houston distribution center. We will ship orders outside of the area via freight line.

Date - We will deliver the supplies no later than the date you require. We may, however, deliver the supplies earlier.

Location - Determine location for supplies before school lets out. Seek approval for location from the principal if necessary. Small classroom or cafeteria works well. Notify office staff of the selected location.

Approval
Once the supplies are in the proper location, someone that you designate must sign the bill of lading to acknowledge receipt of merchandise. Only sign for the number of cases that you physically count.

Packaged & Packaged Plus - When our personnel deliver, the supplies are arranged by grade level for your convenience. The grade level and number of packages in each case appears on the outside of each carton which makes counting easy.
