Preview Orders


Thank you for your interest in previewing materials available through the MarkED's Career Paths Resource Center. We're pleased to honor preview requests up to $500 per customer. However, we need your assistance. As a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to providing a broad range of inexpensive products and services to local schools, our budgets are extremely limited. Therefore, to help us maintain maximum service at minimum cost to you, we ask that you provide one of the following as a guarantee of payment:

 

- Verifiable purchase order

Your purchase order may specify "preview only," but must be valid for any materials not returned within 60 days. We will accept a PO number for phone orders; please have the telephone number of your school purchasing/business office available when you call. Your organization is not obligated to make payment until you have made a purchase decision or until the 60-day preview period has expired.



- Verifiable school/district preview request

We will honor your organization's formal (written) review procedure if it includes each of the following assurances: a) guarantees return of materials within 60 days and b) guarantees payment of shipping/handling charges.



- Credit Card Guarantee

You may use a valid Visa or MasterCard as a guarantee (only), just as you would for a hotel room. We do get a credit card authorization for the amount of the order before shipping the materials. We do not charge your card unless a) you authorize it, or b) the 60-day preview period expires. If you return materials, you may include payment for the shipping/handling charges noted on the original paperwork, or we can charge them to your credit card.



- Advance Payment

You may provide a personal or school check which we will not cash until a) you authorize us to do so, or b) the 60-day preview period expires. If you return materials, you may pay the shipping/handling charges noted on your original paperwork, or we will cash your check and refund the balance within ten days.



Shipping/Handling charges: In all cases, we ask that you pay for the regular shipping and handling fee and for return shipment.


Returns: To ensure proper credit should you wish to return an item, please call 800-448-0398 x210 for a return authorization code. Write the code number on the outside of the return carton. Enclose a copy of our original sales order or packing slip. When making return shipments, please use a traceable method (e.g., insured USPS, UPS). Please note that you are liable for the safe return of preview items in like-new, resalable condition.


THANK YOU for your interest in our materials. We look forward to being of service!
