plain jane Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 They don't have as much variety in the RightStart materials as I need. Most of it is prepackaged levels, so I need to order from RS seperately. No longer carry DITHOR I wish they carried the Horrible History books and Galore Park materials.

Sebastian (a lady) Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 There are some publishers that don't seem to sell through other vendors at all. ABeka comes to mind. I don't think that RR (or anyone else) resells their material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 A Beka Rod & Staff Grammar Rainbow Science Plus, for my high schoolers, discounted AP and CLEP prep guides (these are cheap on Amazon, though), as well as good Christian college-level textbooks.

KarenNC Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 They do carry at least a few of her items now. Hmm, I searched on her name there and came up with nothing--perhaps it's only listed by the specific title? I searched on the title for The Elements and didn't see anything, but didn't look for other titles. I went back and looked again. I was wrong, they do have The Elements, Carbon Chemistry and Excavating English. Unless you open the description, you wouldn't know they were hers, and I guess their search function only searches the title, not the description. Shame, seems like it would be a good idea to be able to search by author or publisher as well as they have *so* many items and many with similar titles. I didn't see The Brain or Mapping the World by Art. So, I stand corrected:001_smile:. I haven't ever ordered from them, so haven't really tried to navigate their website very deeply before.

LadyAberlin Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I ordered The Elements from there. I spoke with RR a while back and they said that Beautiful Feet quit letting them sell their stuff. She said sometimes the smaller companies just find it easier to do all the orders themselves. I know I have friends who wish TT could be ordered through there. I wish RR would come to our conventions. They said that they weren't invited to our conventions because they discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly in the Country Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I find their website very difficult to search as far as finding specific items. :iagree: I use their print catalog to come up with a shopping list and I copy all the product numbers down. That is the only way I can order from RR and maintain my sanity. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacalm Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Wheelock's Latin, Galore Park materials, Literary Lessons from the Lord of the Rings, Lightning Literature, and RR do not carry the complete line of Michael Clay Thompson's materials (RR carry some).

KarenNC Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I ordered The Elements from there. Is the one they have listed for $28.50 the printed copy in the binder along with the cd of songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyR Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Actually RR sells a few CLE materials. They sell the reading books from CLE but they don't sell any of their light units. I wish they carried CLE curriculum and Galore Park as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have The Brain: an Introduction to Neurology - I found it by searching for neurology, but they don't appear to have Mapping the World With Art, probably because it's so new. I do wish you could search more specifically, like by author or publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) You can search by author and publisher. You have to change the search criteria. I just tried searching using her last name and it only pulls up her musical instrument coloring book and not her other stuff for some reason. I wish you could search by grade.

LibrarianMom Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 RR has been very receptive when I have made search suggestions to them. I really like some of the recent changes on their website. I find it important to keep in mind that although they are a large company in the homeschooling world, they do not have the same type of resources to put into their website that Amazon or Lakeshore Learning does.

ekarl2 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 As a vendor, I thought I'd chime in here. I think more and more you'll see vendors not selling through stores (like Amazon or RR). In the age of the Internet, it's SO much more cost effective for us to sell our own material. When we sell through a store we usually take a 25-40% hit on the retail price of our products. Before the Internet, publishers had to sell in stores to be able to get their products in the hands of consumers. That's not hard to do now, so it's usually not worth it to wholesale our materials to stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm2Hafsah Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I am a new homeschooler and I have RR'S catalog. They have an enormous selection, but to someone who is new, it is rather overwhelming. It think after the first 10 minutes I put it down and then logged onto the website, which to me could be more user friendly. I really like the selection, but just wish it was easier to locate what I need. I have five children and they are all on different grade levels so you can imagine the amount of curriculum I need, whew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I understand the vendor perspective ((I'm a writer and take a huge hit on royalties from Amazon), but it's hard to be nickled and dimed on S&H costs when you're buying multiple items from various vendors. If something isn't on RR or Amazon, I either look at the used mkt or forgo the purchase. I'm getting ready for another free shipping purchase from RR. I let my wish list grow until I'm there.

Laura That's a good point, Laura. One thing to consider, though, is that were many of us to wholesale on a large scale, we'd have to increase our retail prices to make up for the lost income. Selling direct keeps costs down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
