How To Order
Nothing could be simpler then ordering through our web site. In fact we've done
everything possible to make your online shopping experience fast, easy, enjoyable
and worry free.
100% Versign Secured Shopping
Submit your order online through our 100% secured shopping function. We
are a VeriSign Secure Site. All information sent to this site is encrypted
using state-of-the-art SSL technology, protecting against disclosure to third
parties.
Orders from Schools and Affiliated Education Professionals
Schools have three ordering options:
- Order online using a credit card; we accept all major
cards.
- Order online using a school Purchase Order number.
- Create your order online and use the 'Print Order' option
to submit your order through your school's normal purchasing process.
Schools can also order from us by creating their order online then printing
out the order and sending it to us via mail, by fax, by email, or by phone.
If you decide to order by phone, please fill out one of our order forms first
(if you need an order form, you can download
one here), and have your address (including zip code), telephone number
and purchase order number handy. We are open 24 hours daily for telephone orders. Please call 1-800-828-7777.
Customer Service hours:

When ordering live materials, please specify a delivery date. We will ship

year. Living materials are shipped via Airborne Express® or UPS® 2-day

Orders from Home Science Enthusiasts
We welcome home science enthusiasts and hobbyists. Science Kit accepts all
major credit carts via our secured online ordering system. However, certain
items (such as chemicals) are restricted and can only be ordered by schools
and education professionals. Said items are clearly defined by the blue Restricted
button.
Shopping Cart
Our shopping cart function keeps track of everything in your order with a
running total. It also allows you to delete selected items you may decide not
to purchase with a single click.
If you are not exactly ready to place the order, but don't want to lose the
time you've spent creating it – use our 'Save Cart'
option found in your Shopping Cart. If you save your cart, we will send you
an automated email with a unique link back to your shopping cart. You can also
password protect it, and even send it to others (great option for teachers
who need approval before the order can be placed).
Web Only Promotions
Ordering through our web site can be rewarding in other ways too. We offer
special web-only promotions such as free shipping, special
discounts and free gifts for orders over $100.00 (free gifts
have included such items as a Science Kit mag-lite and umbrella).
We continually update our product line with the latest and greatest in educational
science products – items sometimes appear here months before they are in any
of our catalogs or on our Order Assistant CD-ROM.
