    I got some free scholastic magizines in the mail and want to order, but when i go online it won't let me because I'm not getting 10 or more. Anyone use these? How did you order?

    I can't figure them out either. I even called and talked to a representative once. It seems like SO much trouble to fill out 3 or 4 order forms for 5 or 6 books! I do think I learned that your first order must be by mail.

    I just order the Time Life for Kids. It sounds like the same thing. If you call and talk to a representative they will walk you through it. It was much harder to do on line.

    I called and you have to order over the phone. The pricing is different for orders less than 10, but still very reasonable. We will get four issues a month for 8 months. I got two magazines for 17.00. I thought that was a great price!

    Which ones did you get? I have been thinking of their math magazine for Garrett.

    You know I was confused over this also, and am still a bit confused. I got an email at the end of the school year asking if I wanted to sign up. I signed up for Scholastic News 1 and 5/6. I didn't see the 10 min order thing until later. I figured they'd tell me at I had to order more or it would be outrageous. But, last week I got a bill and it was like $9.98 for the two. I think that is just a dollar more each than regular price.

    I was thinking I would order a few more at those prices. So, I look on the scholastic magazine site and of course it wouldn't let me order less than 10 as you mentioned. I did however, send an email and ask for a price quote.

    I thought I would list what they gave me in case any of you are interested.

    Clifford the Big Red Dog - Student Copy $9.99
    Let's Find Out Magazine - Student Copy $9.99
    DynaMath - student copy $19.95
    SuperScience - student copy $19.95

    I guess for what you are getting that's not too bad, but a little more than I wanted to pay. The first two are regularly $4.99 and the last two are $6.99 if you order 10 copies.
