Unfortunately, we do not offer our customers a credit account. All our orders must be paid for in full before processing.

However, we have various payment methods available, as outlined below.

Payment Methods

Orders can be placed directly on our website and paid for by bank transfer, cheque, debit card, credit card, Paypal, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Why does Schoolbooks.ie not offer schools a credit account?

Schoolbooks.ie does not offer schools a credit account because of the high administration cost and time credit accounts require.

Managing credit accounts can be time-consuming and expensive. We would much rather spend our time and resources offering you the best possible product range, seamless ordering and superb customer service.

Our school is looking for the best value possible, does Schoolbooks.ie offer a school discount?

When a school sends our team a quotation request, we review each order individually and apply the best possible price we can at that time.

Here are some tips to get the best possible price from Schoolbook.ie.

  1. Add book covering to your order. We often have a special book covering promotions available for schools, especially schools that place and pay for their order as early as possible.
  2. Add copies and school stationery to your order. Although we are Ireland’s Favourite School Book Store, we stock an extensive range of copy books and school stationery and art supplies. Add these items to your quotation request, and our team will work to give you a very competitive price on your school supply requirements.
  3. Sign up and look out for Schoolbook newsletters for schools. You will be the first to hear what special promotions we have available for schools.  

Stock Availability FAQs

When I place an order on Schoolbooks.ie, will all quantities of items orders be in stock and available for immediate delivery?

Schoolbooks.ie does carry an extensive range and level of stock year-round.

However, there may be occasions, due to the large amounts of items being required by schools, that we will need to place an order with our publishers and suppliers to complete and fulfil your order.

You shall be advised if we do not have the correct stock quantity available; however, stock can only be ordered after processing the order and can take up to 7-10 working days.

I can’t find a school book or other item I wish to order for our school. What do I do?

Just let us know, and if we don’t already stock it, we will try our best to source it and get it in the item (s) in the shortest time possible.

Schoolbooks.ie currently stocks over 1,700 primary school titles, 1,100 secondary school titles and 1,600 stationery products. We are constantly adding new products that our customers want and need to our website, and our dedicated product team love to hear what you would like us to stock.

Book Covering

Does Schoolbooks.ie have a book covering service?

Yes! Please just tick the book covering option in your shopping cart before proceeding to checkout.

Getting school books covered is generally a good idea, especially if you want to protect them from wear and tear. Covering school books can help prevent the covers from getting ripped, bent or dirty and protect the pages from spills, water damage or other accidents.

Covering school books can also make them last longer, saving your school money in the long run. Our covers are tough, strong and long-lasting. They are removable, reusable and recyclable.

Can I choose which books I want to be covered and which I do not? For example, I prefer textbooks covered rather than workbooks.

Covering school books can also make them last longer, saving your school money in the long run.

Currently, Schoolbooks.ie can only offer to have the entire school book order covered or now. Schools chose this option in their shopping cart.

Our book covers are all removable, so you can choose to place the book covers on other textbooks that your school may have.

Book Covering

How do I request to have my books covered?

There are two ways that you can request to have your books covered -

1. View your shopping cart by clicking on the "Cart" icon at the top right of each page. From the cart page, click the "YES. Please cover my books" button to request to have your books covered; or

2. Visit the "School Book Cover" page and click the "Cover My Books" button to request to have your books covered.

 

The number of covers required is dynamically calculated based on the books in your order.

Please note:  By default only books, workbooks, novels, dictionaries, exam papers and revision guides are covered. Copies are not covered. Where a book consists of a "pack" or "set", the system will automatically include the appropriate number of covers for the elements in the pack (e.g. textbook & workbook sets).

Why am I being charged for more book covers than there are books in my cart?

The reason you have been charged for more book covers than the quantity of books you can see in your order, is that there are certain books in your order that are part of a set/pack. Books that are a set/pack have extra books that shall also be covered.
