NCTM offers three consignment ordering options.
1. Sample Consignment
Affiliates that sold less than $800 of materials (on-site and special orders combined) from their last consignment for a similar event will receive one of two Sample Consignments. A Small Sample Consignment will include NCTM catalogs and Special Order forms for items purchased from the catalog. These Special Orders will be shipped from NCTM directly to the purchaser. This consignment is appropriate when the expected attendance is less than 75. The Standard Sample Consignment will include samples of our top-selling educational materials and special products. The Affiliate may then take Special Orders from their members for products on display as well as for items in the NCTM Educational Materials Catalog (See Exclusions.) The Affiliate may choose to sell the samples at the end of the event or return them. Sample Consignments are available to any Affiliate that is In Good Standing.
2. Regular Consignment
Affiliates that sold $800 or more of materials from their last consignment for a similar event may receive a Regular Consignment. A Regular Consignment is when multiple copies of top-selling products are sent to sell onsite. The Affiliate has an opportunity to review the list of items and quantities that will be sent and can suggest changes. Unsold products are then returned to NCTM at the end of the event for a credit.
Note: A 10% special rebate will be given to the Affiliates for all Special Orders processed (i.e., orders shipped from NCTM) for both Sample and Regular Consignments.
3. Quantity Discount Purchase
The purpose of this option is to enable Affiliates to purchase specific quantities of specific products at a 30% discount. This option is limited to orders over $400 (at the 70% pricing) and the expectation is that products will not be returned as they are in a consignment (see below).
For example, an Affiliate may need multiple copies of a particular NCTM book that will be given to all participants in a workshop that the Affiliate is hosting. The Affiliate can purchase these books at 70% of the full retail price of the products. Any returns for full refund must be made within 30 days of the original order. Return shipping for quantity discount orders is paid for by the Affiliate.
These orders may be paid with a credit card when the order is placed or the Affiliate can be billed for the order.
