Ordering for a class or a school
Our books are used in over 700 schools in more than 30 countries. Class sets are the normal order here, not the exception.
Postage is charged by weight
Not per book. A student reader weighs a few hundred grams; a teacher’s full set is around five kilos. Combining titles into one order is almost always cheaper than ordering separately, and the basket works the exact figure out as you go.
| Parcel weight | Postage |
|---|---|
| Up to 500 g | $13.00 |
| Up to 1 kg | $19.00 |
| Up to 2 kg | $28.00 |
| Up to 5 kg | $52.00 |
| Up to 10 kg | $90.00 |
| Up to 20 kg | $160.00 |
Example rates for delivery to the United States. Other destinations follow the same pattern — see the shipping page.
Orders over 20 kg
Past 20 kg, sending by freight costs far less than parcel post — but the price depends on weight, volume and destination, so it needs a real quote rather than an estimate. Larger teacher’s sets and most whole-school orders land here. Fill your basket as usual and it will offer you a quote request with the list already filled in, or email us directly.

Invoices and purchase orders
Many schools cannot pay by card. If you need an invoice, a proforma invoice for a purchase order, or payment by bank transfer, email us with your list and delivery address and we will issue one.
What we need from you
- Titles and quantities
- School or organisation name
- Full delivery address and a contact phone number
- Whether you need an invoice or a proforma for a purchase order
- Any tax-exemption certificate, if your school holds one
Import duty
Books ship from South Korea. Schools outside Korea may be charged import duty or VAT by their own customs authority on arrival. Many countries zero-rate educational books — it is worth checking your local rules before ordering, and we can supply a customs invoice showing the books as educational material.
