1. Regarding those who want to sell our publications as distributors, we offer quantity discounts on all quantity purchases by individuals, masjids, Islamic centers, local study groups, Muslim homeschooling groups, conference vendors, and retail stores according to the following discount scale:
10% discount for order of USD $100 or over
20% discount for order of USD $200 or over
30% discount for order of USD $500 or over
40% discount for order of USD $1000 or over
50% discount for order of USD $2000 or over
Additionally, your first order as a new distributor will receive an additional 10% discount.
2. The first step is to see the list of all presently available books can be found here:
http://taalib.com/store/sitemap/
Any type or number of books can be included in a single order to reach the desired discount level. There are no limits on quantities, and all books normally ship within 10-15 business days from payment confirmation.
3. All orders are generally shipped ground/surface shipping. So the second step after deciding which books you wish to order is to send us your proposed order and shipping address. This enables us to get for you an accurate quote on shipping cost for a potential order, and we will then be able to send you an invoice with the exact shipping costs according to your shipping address.
4. For US customers sales tax is applicable on items shipped through our fulfillment agent to:
South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Washington, or New York.
If you are exempt from sales tax on large orders in your state, please send your Uniform Sales and Use Tax Certificate number and a scan of your current certificate at the time of your order, in order to not have sales tax included in the invoice. Without this you will still receive the discounts for distributors, but taxes will be included in the invoice as part of the order.
5. FInally after receiving your invoice, there are two ways to make payments for distributor orders:
1. Paypal: account email- service@taalib.com
2. Direct deposit or wire transfer to our business bank account
After we receive online confirmation of clearance of payment- which normally takes 24 hours- we will immediately send you an email confirming this and start the order, inshAllaah. Then as soon as the books start their ground shipment we will send any tracking numbers.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any further questions about ordering as a distributor (service@taalib.com), we are here to help and inshAllaah, will answer as soon as possible. We end with the praise of Allaah and ask Him for success in this world and the next.
