Q: Can I use a purchase order?
A: Yes, we accept purchase orders for case quantity orders. We do not accept purchase orders for any orders of less than a case;
these must be prepaid with a check or credit card.
Q: I am purchasing through my school; does this mean it will be tax exempt?
A: We are required to charge sales tax if the order is being shipped to schools within California (the same State that we are in). If you are ordering through a school outside of California (and having the order shipped outside of CA), then we do not charge sales tax.
Q: I’m placing an order on net 30 terms, why do I need to fill out the credit authorization form also?
A: For security purposes we require people ordering on net 30 terms to fill out this additional form. It states that if your invoice is not paid via check or credit card by the due date then we have authorization to charge the credit card placed on file. Furthermore, in the event of non-payment, the form gives us the authority to exercise our legal rights provided by the courts.
Q: How much product should we anticipate selling for our fundraiser?
A: It depends. As a rule of thumb, we recommend starting off with 1 bucket(or 5 bag sets) of product per person selling. Because our products are non-perishable...
and returnable to us, you are free to order as much product as you think your group might sell. If you over order, we will take back any un-opened product within 90 days of delivery. If you under order, just let us know and we will send you more.
Q: What stores sell your products?
A: Smencils can be found in Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Michaels, Target.com, ToysRUs.com, and several independent
