How It Works

We handle the setup on our end so everything is ready before you place your first order.

1

Contact Us & Submit Your Certificate

Use the form below or email us. Attach your exemption certificate along with your school or organization details.

2

We Set Up Your Account

We create your account in our system with tax-exempt status, preferred pricing, and any agreed terms already applied.

3

You Receive a Welcome Email

Your account credentials are sent. Sign in and your tax-exempt status is already active — no extra steps.

4

Shop Online or In-Store, Tax-Free

Exemption applies automatically at online checkout and at our Glendale store register. No certificate needed at point of sale.

Important — Why You Need to Contact Us Before Ordering

1
Tax-exempt status must be set up in our system before your first purchase If you place an order before your account is set up, tax will be charged at checkout and cannot be removed retroactively. Contacting us first ensures your exemption is active before a single dollar is spent.
2
Your account is created in our system and synced to the website automatically We enter your school or organization into our system with all the right details — tax-exempt status, terms, pricing, and your contact information. This syncs to TeachingStuff.com so your online account is fully configured when you log in for the first time.
3
All future orders — online and in-store — are automatically linked to your account Once set up, any purchase made with your account email or phone number is linked to your record automatically. Your full order history — PO orders, in-store purchases, and online orders — all appear together in your account at teachingstuff.com/customer/account/.

Works online AND in-store — automatically. Once your account is set up, tax-exempt status applies at our Glendale store register when you give your account email or phone number, and at online checkout when you are signed in. No need to present your certificate at the register or re-enter it online. It is attached to your account permanently.
Already have an account with us? If your school has previously purchased in-store or online, your account may already exist. Contact us and we can locate your record and apply tax-exempt status to your existing account rather than creating a new one. This ensures your full order history stays intact.

Ready to Get Set Up?

Contact us with your organization details and exemption certificate. We will have your tax-exempt account ready — typically the same business day.
