As requests increase, submitting them accurately helps us process everything on time. Below are the key guidelines to keep in mind:
One Vendor = One Request
• Combine all items from the same vendor.
• Use Shareable Wishlists
• No screenshots or PDFs. Google Docs with links are fine.
Amazon = Wishlist Only
• Not a registry. Turn off:
• “Keep purchased items on your list”
• “Don’t spoil my surprises”
Invoice Total Must Match
• No partial invoices.
Subscription Boxes
• These will be ordered as new subscriptions. Duplicate shipments may occur if the student has previously been subscribed.
Furniture & Supplies
• Must be student-specific and reasonable for this school year.
• Bookshelf = 1 unit (~2.5’ x 8’); no wall systems, pantries, or closets
• Desk = student-sized; no hutches, buffets, or credenzas
• We can ’t log in or create vendor accounts
No Digital-Only Products
• If digital content is included with a book, you won’t have access if ordered via purchase request.
No Special Vendor Requests
Orders must be simple and follow standard procedures.
Review full guidelines here and update requests as needed to avoid delays. Thank you for your help.
