Who pays for international customs duties and taxes?
All international orders are subject to customs duties and taxes at their destination point. These fees vary significantly by country. Each customer is responsible for the customs duties and taxes for their shipment; School Specialty Publishing is not responsible for these fees. Note that we do not estimate customs duties and taxes for orders, as the amount can vary greatly from the actual fees. If you have questions about the customs duties and taxes for your country, please contact the appropriate government agency for your country/locale.
Do you backorder items?
Occasionally we will be out of stock on an item. In these situations we unfortunately will not allow you to put the product in your shopping cart but will offer you suggestions of comparable products.
