How Purchase Order Ordering Works

Step 1: Request PO Pre-Approval

Because we're a small business, all purchase orders require pre-approval before we extend payment terms. Email us at connectwithus@beechtreepaper.com with:

  • Your organization's name and type
  • Tax-exempt status and certificate (if applicable)
  • Billing and shipping address
  • Expected order details — quantity, style, any customization
  • Whether you're applying for nonprofit or business discount pricing

We'll respond within 1–2 business days.

Step 2: Receive Your Draft Order

Once approved, we'll create a Draft Order with full details and your applicable discounts. You'll receive an email confirmation that outlines your notebook selections, total pricing, and shipping and billing information. No payment is required at this stage.

Step 3: Submit Your Internal PO (If Required)

Some organizations require submitting their own internal PO document. If so, simply email your official PO referencing the draft order number. This step is optional for organizations that don't have a formal internal PO process.

Step 4: Production

Once we receive your PO approval, your order moves into production. Standard production time is 5–7 business days after final confirmation, plus shipping.

Step 5: Payment — Net 30

Payment terms for approved purchase orders are Net 30 from the invoice date. We'll send an invoice via email when your order ships.
