LRC Special Order Service
*
Can't find the resource you need in our catalogue? With our Special Order Service we
can source and price learning resources for you!
What is a Special Order?
A Special Order is a request for a resource that the LRC does not list in its Resources
Catalogue for sale to AB or BC schools. If you represent a registered AB or BC school
or school authority, and the resource you need is a current educational item of a
type that the LRC would normally list, you can place a request for the resource
through our Special Order Service.
How does the Special Order Service work?
The Customer provides the LRC with as much product information as possible. Once
we determine that the request meets our order and eligibility requirements, we will
contact the supplier for pricing and availability. In turn, we will contact the Customer
with the price and will order the resource(s) only after receiving a commitment to
purchase from the Customer, and with the understanding that LRC will not accept
returns or order cancellations.
Special Orders can only be placed via email or faxed-in orders; online ordering is not
available. See below to print our Special Order Request Form.
Rl
To Order:
• Complete a Special Order Request (print version available below) with the
following minimum required information: Title, ISBN, and Publisher.
o Publication Date, Author, and Edition, while not mandatory, are also
helpful.
o If the ISBN is not available, please provide the Edition and/or
Publication Date.
• There is no minimum dollar value per order, but LRC, at its discretion,
encourages the school to make this order as large as possible, e.g. 3-5 titles.
• LRC will not accept any cancellation or return of Special Order items, unless
defective or shipped in error, and then only with LRC's prior knowledge and
approval, as per LRC's Returns Policy. This stipulation is at the bottom of the
Special Order Request form for your reference.
• The resource must be a recent publication - where possible, published within
the last 4 years - and still in print.
• Special Order products are not eligible for any customer discounts, e.g. Early
Order Discount.
Resources not eligible for the Special Order Service include:
• Library-type resources, e.g. novels.
With thousands of novels available in the market today and companies
that deal exclusively with novels, LRC is not in a position to order
these under this service.
• Little Books, i.e. multiple components/storybooks/little books of a series, e.g.
Early Literacy.
This is due to hundreds to choose from and existing agreements with
vendors that LRC list and sell only series package components.
• Resources currently under review by Curriculum, those rejected after
curricular review, and any resource that would not be consider a Basic
Student type resource.
• Any title that cannot be sourced from a supplier.
How long will a Special Order take?
A Special Order request may take 4-6 weeks to research, order and receive stock
from a Canadian vendor, and then ship to the Customer. The more information the
Customer provides on the initial request, the sooner LRC can order and deliver the
resource.
While orders may take less time, they can also take longer because:
• The resource is out of stock at the publisher or distributor (in reprint, etc.),
• The resource may need to be ordered and shipped from a U.S. or other
foreign publisher/supplier,
• Some publishers have a minimum order requirement that exceeds the
Customer's needs.
How much will a resource cost through the Special Order Service?
We will research the resource's cost and advise the Customer of the final selling
price. We will not release the order to the vendor until the Customer approves the
final selling price.
