Shop Online for Back to School Supplies with Ease
It's time. No more sleeping in, no more movies. The faint cry of students everywhere can be heard across the country as the holidays are gone and the first day of the school year has arrived. Are you prepared? Have you bought everything down to the right pencil for art class? Going back to school can be stressful, but buying all the school supplies won't be.
Officeworks, Office Warehouse & Stuck on You are just some of the online shopping sites with all the necessary supplies. For something unique, try Stuck on You, a website that supplies labeled products or Organic Beauty Talk for green supplies. Officeworks is the home for everything school-related. Most schools supply a list of stationary each child needs. So instead of walking around the shop with screaming kids, go to the Officeworks website, search all the items you need, put it in your shopping cart and then you're done.
Half an hour is the maximum time you will need. There are a range of brands that suit those on a budget or for those who are wanting the best tools. Officeworks also sells office furniture including desks, chairs and computers for kids in higher grades. These can also be delivered to your home.
In relation to payment and delivery, Officeworks accepts credit card payments and depending on how close you live to an Officeworks, you may receive free delivery. Once you are on the checkout page, you will enter your address and it will then calculate whether there will be a delivery fee or not.
By shopping with Officeworks, you will also be supporting The Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation. This organisation provides stationary packs for marginalized children across Australia to help them read and write. So instead of just helping your own children, you will be helping those less fortunate.
Office Warehouse is fairly similar to Officeworks in relation to what stationary items they have available. However, Officeworks seems to have a larger variety of brands available, particularly in the arts and crafts department. Office Warehouse offers free accounts for customers where you can place orders and track them too.
Office Warehouse has a fairly standard delivery time and fee. For stationary items it will take between 2-4 working days to be delivered. If you spend over $65.00, there is no delivery fee; however for orders under $65.00, there is a flat rate freight charge of $7.95. There is an express shipment option which ensures your order will be prioritized for a $15.95 fee.
For parents living in Queensland there is a great website that already has the booklist available for your particular school. There is no going through each item on the list and finding it. It is as simple as selecting the school, the grade and the student's name. Then all the supplies that are noted on the list will be delivered to you for a freight fee of $6.50 per book list.
However, as this is a online store based in Brisbane, there are quite a few schools that are not on the list. If this is the case, there is still an online store where you can buy supplies. There are bags, books, lunch accessories, musical instruments, teacher supplies and writing tools. Kid's love anything that makes them look special and Stuck on You provides products to help kids feel unique at school. Stuck on You has a range of backpacks, lunchboxes, book bags, pencil cases, bag tags and more that have your child's name on it.
Suitable for young children in primary school, there are different designs for boys and girls. Some designs include animals, food, flowers and before buying them, you are able to preview what the product will look like with the name on it.
Instead of buying another toy for your daughter, son, niece or nephews, buy them something that will last more than a week. We all know that by putting your name on something, it becomes instantly cool (just take a look at the current Coke campaign). A height chart is a great idea for a girl or boy in primary school as it teaches them about maths and they will use it all the time.
The prices are fairly reasonable and at the moment there is a sale on, just in time for school. Some examples of prices are: backpacks are 44.95, lunchboxes are $26.95 and there is a 'tools for school' pack which includes a pencil case, markers, coloured pencils, HB pencils, sharpener, scissors, eraser and ruler for $34.95.
Orders are dispatched within 3-7 working days and Stuck on You accepts MasterCard and Visa cards, however if you wish to pay by cheque, you can contact the Customer Service team.
