MarieWith3 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Could anyone recommend any sites that are roughly equivalent to Rainbow Resource but where the company is NOT based in Illinois? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Are you looking for a big distributor, do you mean? Like CBD or Amazon? A specifically homeschool-run or Christian-run company (maybe Timberdoodle--but it doesn't carry as many items as Rainbow)...what kind of company are you looking for?

MischiefManaged Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 why non-illinois? even if you had to pay state sales tax, it's probably cheaper via RR than anywhere else, especially w/ their selection.....:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann@thebeach Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 There isn't anything else with as much inventory-except many amazon. CBD would be next I suppose but still not nearly the inventory as RR. I agree about Timberdoodle but again, not nearly the inventory-but a great company! There are a lot of smaller homeschool book sellers but by the time you pd postage for each you'd be paying way more than RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I like Rock Solid Inc. They are in Florida. They have a smaller variety of inventory but also have better/same pricing and flat shipping rate of $4.75 or free for orders over $95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Bee Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Could anyone recommend any sites that are roughly equivalent to Rainbow Resource but where the company is NOT based in Illinois? Thank you! I like Exodus Provisions out of Oregon. They also have used stuff, which is nice. I have no affiliation with them, just a satisfied customer. They too have a lot of good info on their website as far as reviews and such. :001_smile: Shipping and handling charges: Our standard charge in the U.S. (any size!) is $4.95, sent USPS media mail or "best way."

MarieWith3 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Sorry to be away, thank you for all your responses. It depends on the whole order, but since shipping only becomes free at $150 at RR and my order will probably not be that large, that and the tax can very much add up. Last year, I split mostly between amazon, CBD, and peacehill press. I would love to just do one order, and I'm even willing to support a good company like RR if it cost me a few extra dollars, but I was looking at something like $30 or more between price differences, shipping, and tax. So thanks for the recommendations, I will be sure to add them into my Purchase Equation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
