Best School Supply Packs for Elementary Students
EXTRA KITS / REORDERS
EduKit: Online ordering of school supply packs available throughout the summer up until a few weeks before school starts.
Competition: Most don’t offer this service.
RETURNS
EduKit: No charge for return of kits delivered to the school. No hassle.
Competition: Typical restocking fee is 15% + freight (how much will this be?) No returns on personalized items. You must call for authorization. How much time will it take a school employee or kit coordinator to do this?
DELIVERY
EduKit: Our school supply packs are delivered to your school or they can be delivered to the home of each student.
Competition: Some kit suppliers typically provide tailgate delivery (you unload the truck yourself).
PRODUCTS
EduKit: Name brand middle school and elementary school supplies with some value items for you to consider. If your list requests scissors, we provide Westcott Scissors. If it’s a 5th grade kit we provide the proper, age-appropriate size scissors, not the small children’s size. In addition, we offer a selection of value items to help keep the prices low. We don’t give you products that won’t stand the test of time. Our products are meant to handle student use ...and abuse.
Competition: Name brand products only IF you specify.
CONTRACT
EduKit: No contract is required.
Competition: Typically a complicated contract with fine print. Watch out.
PERSONAL ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE
EduKit: You will work with the same rep for the entire process. There will not be a different sales contact, billing contact, or shipping contact. EduKit provides the highest level of personal service in the industry. Phone, fax, email - whatever works for you. We don’t just work 9-5.
Competition: Typically multiple points of contact for estimates, invoicing, etc.
BOXES
EduKit: EduKits come packed in beautiful, brown boxes. Brown is beautiful because our boxes are easily recycled and therefore truly "green"! They also come in varying sizes allowing us to fit all of your school supplies in one box 99% of the time, which makes distribution much easier! Want a memory box with handles? We have those too!
Competition: Lots of ink and lots of work to distribute items that don't fit in the boxes.
PROVIDE EVERYTHING ON THE LIST?
EduKit: Yarn, sheets, pillowcases, T-shirts, checkbook covers, checkbook registers, wash cloth, dice, pinto beans, rice, craft feathers, coffee filters, sequins, googly eyes, felt squares, buttons, glitter, tapestry needles, cookie sheets, aluminum foil, straws, toothpicks, sandpaper, and many more odd items we have included in our kits.
Competition: Don’t think so!
