What we do
Outfitting a school can be an arduous business.
Ordering dozens to thousands of textbooks and educational supplies through different vendors quickly turns into a headache. Without the bulk purchasing abilities EquipMySchool offers, expected costs can balloon out of control. Customs present unexpected delays, orders arrive piecemeal, damaged or amiss - all while you try to arrange a timely delivery. Why waste time and resources when you could do what you do best?
We make things simple. All-in-One Delivery. All-in-One Invoicing. Simply place your order. That’s it. That’s all.

Ready for All-in-One Invoicing?
Why use us?
Prompt, Intelligent Order Processing
A Pro-Forma Invoice is supplied once the order is processed, ready to be sent to the selected suppliers. This document also provides the school with the first opportunity to ensure that all the orders submitted have been processed by EquipMySchool.com.
On-line Order Status and Tracking
Stay up to date as your goods are shipped, received and processed by EquipMySchool: as soon as items are received, they are assessed through our quality control checkers, who then contact suppliers directly if any replacement or tardy items are required. Your goods are then carefully prepared for international shipment, ensuring they arrive intact and on time.
Regularly Updated Status Information
As your goods are received and processed by EquipMySchool, each item is run through our one to one system, keeping you up to date as your order is received, assessed by quality control checkers, and carefully prepared for international shipment, ensuring your shipment arrives intact and on time.
Quality Paperwork
In contrast, Customs are only interested in the whole shipment. A separate document, designed specifically for Custom’s clearance, shows only the information required to complete that task; namely description, quantity and price.
Quality Control
Occasionally items may not be up to specifications, or they may have been damaged during shipment. We contact suppliers immediately if replacement goods are needed.
EquipMySchool has dedicated account representatives with every supplier, allowing us to immediately resolve any issues- saving you time and hassle.
Appropriate Packing
You will see our iconic red white and blue packing tape on every box that passes through our warehouse. Sensitive instruments are carefully wrapped and buttressed against jostling; small items are protectively secured against loss. Even very large goods, like playground and stage equipment, bleachers and desks, are wrapped and padded to prevent damage.
The packing material is selected based on the freight method so, for example, light filling for air freight, compact filling for bulky shipments. Every little improvement helps save the school freight cost.
Competitive International Freight Rates
Freight is charged to the school at cost. Several agents, appropriately chosen for the destination of each shipment, are requested to provide quotations in order to secure the most competitive price, without compromising on service.
One of our goals is to save the school freight costs so that your budget can be spent on the resources for the classroom rather than moving those resources around the world.
Library Servicing
Choose our in-house cataloguing service, and your library will be prepared prior to shipment. With a customized return date label, a Dewey decimal classification label placed prominently on the spine, an electromagnetic security tag and a protective plastic jacket, every book will be shelf ready on arrival.
Goods Dispatched to Meet Your Deadline
