Studies Weekly has updated the order process for all orders made online, by phone, mail, or fax to include the options for Partial Shipments and Blackout Dates. To determine which option is the right choice for you, please review the information below.
Full vs. Partial Shipping
Orders will only ship once all products are in stock unless you opt in to receive partial shipments. Partial shipping means products will ship as soon as they become available.
If you are placing your order online, these shipping options are available on the Checkout page. Please check the box next to your shipping preference.
Ship all materials together: All your products will arrive together. This may cause your shipments to be delayed until all materials are printed and in stock.
Ship each product when in stock: Shipments of social studies, science, or well-being products may ship at different times depending on when the printed product is in stock.
Attention
Please note that large orders sent via freight shipment are not eligible for partial shipping.
Selecting Blackout Dates
Blackout dates are timeframes during which you are unavailable to receive a delivery. Selecting a Blackout window ensures your materials will not arrive while your school or district office is closed. You do not need to specify weekends for blackout dates, as shipments will only arrive on regular business days.
If you are available any weekday to receive your order, simply check the box next to, I can receive shipment at any time and we’ll ship your order as soon as possible.
If you have a specific period when you cannot receive your order, click Add Date Range to specify those dates. You may select up to five blackout date spans. We will not ship any materials during your selected blackout dates.
After you click to add a date range for your Blackout Dates, a calendar will appear where you can select the first date of the Blackout and highlight the duration of your outage. You can also remove any blackout dates by selecting the red trash can icon on the right.
Note
If you do not select an option for either partial or full shipment on your order, and no blackout dates are provided, your order will default to partial shipping starting in mid-August.
