Do I need to pay sales tax?

We collect sales tax in North Carolina and California. Please remember to calculate sales tax on shipping and handling charges.

How long does it take to ship the materials?

On average we ship within five business days, but due to COVID-related circumstances, some shipments could be delayed. If there is a specific date by which you need the order, please make sure to write that clearly on the order form. You will need to have your material in hand the day BEFORE your training starts.

Can I get a written quote?

Yes. The representative for your area can provide a written quote.

Can I order books without training?

Training is required for most of our materials. Please contact your representative to determine whether training is appropriate for you.
