Buying with a Purchase Order

Terrapin accepts purchase orders from public and private schools in the United States and Canada and automatically extends 30-day payment terms to the school. Purchase orders should be on the official school or district form and include bill to and ship to information along with contact information for questions. They may be mailed or faxed.

Schools which use purchase orders to buy supplies may use the Terrapin web site and shopping cart to do so as well. Using the shopping cart to place an order can expedite shipping by capturing all of the necessary information and providing notice that the purchase order is on the way so that products may be assembled and ready to go when the purchase order arrives.

When entering an order for a school, be sure to check the box in the shopping cart indicating that you are using a purchase order. This will activate the purchase order option as a form of payment. The order is prepared when entered via the shopping cart and shipment is made when the purchase order is received by mail or fax.

Shipment may be expedited by providing the official purchase order number while the purchase order is being generated.
