Tax exempt? Email us before you order

Email info@cpli.net your tax-exempt documents or number, and tell us the email address that will place the order. We set that account to tax exempt, then you can order.

We can't remove tax from an order afterwards. If an order is placed before your account is set to tax exempt, it has to be started over.

1. Need a quote first? Make your own

  1. Sign in using the link at the top of the page, or create your account. You'll automatically get a sign-in code by email, so there's no password to remember.
  2. Add the books you need to your cart. Any discounts apply automatically, including 10% off orders of 25 or more books.
  3. In your cart, click "Print or save as a quote". You get an itemized quote with your prices and a quote number, good for 30 days. Take it to your school or district to get your purchase order.

Your cart empties once the quote is made, so the order can't be placed twice by mistake. The quote keeps everything.

2. Got your PO? Place the order

  1. On your quote, click "Order this quote" (or scan the code on a printed copy). Your cart fills with the same books. Anyone at your school can do this, from any computer.
  2. Type your purchase order number in the "Purchase order number" box in your cart.
  3. Right below it, click "Upload a copy of your PO" and choose your PO (a PDF or a photo). You'll see a message once it's attached. No need to email it to us. Your order is complete once we have your PO.
  4. At checkout, don't pay now: choose "Pay via Purchase Order / Check". Paying with a school credit card instead? Pay any time within 30 days.
  5. Any problems? Email info@cpli.net

Each purchase order number can be used once.
