ORDERS & SHIPPING

 

 ORDERING INDIVIDUAL PASTELS: 

The individual pastel ordering system on our website is the easiest way to place open stock orders. Enter a quantity in the box and click 'BUY' for a single item; for multiple items enter quantities then click 'BUY ALL' at the bottom of the page.

ORDERING PASTEL PAPER: 
5 SHEET MINIMUM PAPER ORDER: 
All brands of paper and board size 16x20" or larger may be combined for the minimum.

10+ QUANTITY PRICING: Papers from the same product line (i.e. all sizes and forms of Pastel Premier Paper) may be combined to receive the quantity pricing. Items sold in a pad or pack are combinable with sheets of paper for the quantity discount (a pad or pack counts as 1 of the 10+ items).

PAPERS SHIPPED FLAT:
We ship our papers flat in double wall corrugate cartons - we don't roll papers! Paper is also packaged in plastic bags to protect from moisture damage.

FREE STANDARD SHIPPING:
Orders over $200 receive free shipping (does not include international orders)!

We will generally backorder items if they are not currently available and if we have an expected product arrival date from the manufacturer. Backorders will be shipped when we receive stock from our suppliers. You incur no extra shipping charges on backorders. We do not backorder individual pastels or single papers less than 5 sheets.
