Purchase Request Form for International Sales

Centering on Children makes every effort to ensure that you get your order in a safe and timely manner.  Thus far, all orders outside of the United States have reached their destinations.  Some have taken more time than promised by our Postal System.  If we do need to put a trace on a package, this process can  take anywhere from several weeks to a month.  Let’s hope we don’t have to do that.  What follows is some useful information to consider when ordering from us.

If your destination for the shipment of ShoeboxTasks® is outside the  United States, please click on the link above to complete the International Purchase Request form, from which we will return an Estimate (i.e. quote) for your items and shipping costs. The shipping amount depends upon the method, estimated weight of goods and insurance charges.  In addition, some countries have size restrictions on boxes that affect overall shipping charges. Once you have paid in full for the ShoeboxTasks® and shipping charges, you will receive an invoice marked 'PAID' for your records. We will then proceed with the shipment of goods.  Please review the Shipping Agreement below.

Payment

Your Estimate will include a link to "Buy Now" via Paypal, using your credit card or bank account in the most secure manner possible  We also accept Bank Checks in U.S. Dollars for the precise amount of the order.  If you mail a check, your order will ship after payment has cleared our account--please allow several weeks for this method.

Shipping Agreement

Centering on Children, Inc. uses the US Postal Service for shipping ShoeboxTasks outside the continental United States.  Packages are sent by Air Parcel Post, approx. 10 days delivery to your country. Your country's postal protocol will determine the delivery time thereafter. Due to the high costs for mailing these activities, handling charges are kept to an absolute minimum.

The US Postal Service is responsible for goods shipped to the foreign country’s port of entry from which point the country’s own mail service assumes responsibility for delivering packages to their final destination. The customer pays for any taxes and/or fees peculiar to the country of destination at time of receipt. Orders originating within Ireland, Scotland, and England (and perhaps other countries) may be eligible for exemption from paying these fees. Application should be made at a local VAT office for an Import Duty Exemption Certificate. Submit this completed certificate with your order form. We will post the certificate on the box containing the materials being sent to you. There should not be any additional import fees/collections once this is done. If charged, reimbursement for these fees from your country is possible but we understand it is a long process.

Should packages become lost during shipment, Centering on Children will track them to the port of entry in your country. Once it has been determined that the packages have arrived at the port of entry, the customer assumes responsibility for tracking packages from the point of entry to their final destination.
