Shipping is the cost to plan around: standard delivery is 15% of the merchandise total with a $6.99 minimum in the contiguous US, so the charge grows with the basket.
Lakeshore's catalog is built around early childhood and elementary learning, with products sorted by age from infants up to sixth grade and beyond. Subject areas include language and phonics, Spanish and ELL materials, math manipulatives, science, STEM, social studies and social-emotional development, next to arts and crafts, blocks, puzzles, games, dramatic play, music and sand and water tables. A separate line, Lakeshore Furniture, supplies classroom carpets, seating, tables, storage, rest mats, cots, cribs and ready-made learning spaces for infant, toddler and preschool rooms.
Besides its website, Lakeshore runs retail stores and offers registries, shopping lists, quick orders and quotes for schools, free teaching resources and gift cards. Members of Lakeshore Rewards can earn and redeem on purchases. Canadian customers order through a partner company, Wintergreen Learning Materials.

International orders get emailed shipping quotes and must be prepaid; Canadian orders go through Wintergreen Learning Materials.
The Lakeshore pages read for this page don't describe a promo code box, so look over the cart before you pay to see whether a code field appears.
Because shipping is charged as a share of the merchandise total, one big classroom order pays the same rate as several small ones, but the $6.99 minimum hits small orders hardeSt. Outlet, clearance and super-savings items are already marked down and can't be returned, so a code on top of them leaves you no way back if the item doesn't suit the classroom.
