Shipping Procedures

Items that are ordered and shipped through the Textbook department are purchased through Instructional Materials Allotment (IMA), a collaboration between TEA, the vendor, and the Textbook Department that can be tracked, sorted, and re-shipped to campuses within the district. Orders that are shipped to the district that are not ordered by the Textbook Department must be approved first to be shipped to our warehouse. Additionally, sorting is to be handled by the department that orders the materials if approved by the Textbook Department.

Process for Approving, Sorting, and Re-shipping materials

• Shipment of non-IMA materials must be approved by the Textbook department to be shipped to the Textbook Department's warehouse before the items are shipped and received.
• The Textbook Department needs a two-week notice before items are received. Please send the tracking information if available.
• Once approved, the Textbook Department will prepare the loading dock for receiving the materials.
• The approved receiving department is responsible for sorting and pre-shipment preparation.
• Department responsible for approved materials has a maximum of two weeks to be sorted and shipped out. If items are not sorted and prepared for shipping within the allotted time frame, the materials will be shipped to the department that ordered the materials to be stored.

Sorting and Preparation of Approved Received Items (Non-IMA Materials)

The textbook department can assist with sorting and preparing materials if time is available. The Textbook Department has strict time windows that are at the heaviest during the summer and the beginning of the school year. Usually, the Textbook department is granted additional help during the summer months but is not always guaranteed. The Textbook Department’s docking bay is generally full during the summer and the beginning of the school year.
