If I could give them 0 stars I would. I have used scholastic for years and they have always been great, but they have significant problems now that I do not think can be explained by covid. I ordered 100$ worth of books back in early November from my kids book fair for Christmas. They did not arrive by early December so I called to inquire. Turns out there was some issue with many of the orders from the particular fair and they had to re-key mine to get it sent. My kids school sent an alert asking all parent who placed an order to call scholastic if they did not receive it. My order was re-keyed and it arrived a week or so later, minus one book. OK, that should be good except it took a month to figure out there was a problem with the entire book fair. But fast forward a week and the original order arrives. What? They told me it was cancelled, so now I have duplicates of all but the one missing book. They tell me to keep that one and ship it back, they sent a shipping label. They told me they would process the refund immediately, but for some reason they had a different number then my cc bill had. They said they would manually override. But I didn't get the refund. The books shipped back and arrived there on 12/30. I called today, they said "the request was sent off on 12/16 for refund. I also see not refund has yet been applied. I will send the request again." It will take 7-10 days. I have called/chatted with this company 6-8 times now, I have personally had to print labels, go to the UPS store to ship stuff that never should of been shipped. Basically hours or time for their mess. They have over 100$ of my money which has yet to be refunded. I have never seen an order go so wrong, whats up Scholastic?

The scholastic warehouse book fair was amazing! Buy one box and get one free, so for two boxes of new books it was $30. The workers and volunteers were helpful and friendly. They even had some free posters near checkout. Definitely, will be going back on and hopefully towards the first day of the sale. I went on the 4-5th day, and they still had a good selection but going on the first day would have been even better. My coworker and I split the cost and each got one box for $15. For the one box, I filled up with about 33-35 books, a thing of flash cards, a few fun pens (Harry Potter wands), a few pencil cases and a miniature cell phone with markers.

The Scholastics book sale was absolutely amazing. Not only did I find amazing deals, I also found some very cool things I could pick up and donate to the elementary school my children attend....and the staff... The staff is absolutely amazing.

So I recently attended a biannual "book sale" with scholastic for the first time. I have to say I was very disappointed.
My biggest disappointment is in the atrocious "organization" or lack there of. The books are simply thrown up on shelves in NO sense of cataloging or order, none. So if you are looking for say stilton books specifically or daisy meadows fairy magic series or Rick Riordan, 39 clues, etc. or any book specifically. Good friggin luck finding them! It's just a scavenger hunt and time and brain suck! Baby books and stuff all mixed in.
First. At least Organize all books of same series/title together in order. So all Stilton books TOGETHER. Then say young children books like baby/toddler/preschooler books. Don't make me have to weed through that stuff. Then categorize by age/grade again keeping books in a series together! I sae many books all
Over repeatedly even the same title. Or one was paperback and clear ok the other side of warehouse a hardback copy. Why not put these all together for goodness sakes?!
Then as you have weeded through all the single books and maybe see a set or two of say fairy magic books. Then get to the end there are these section of all the book sets/bundles. So you found 2 or 3 of this or that then go tonfind they have the collection available.
Discounts are willy nilly and random. Not many discounted. I spent way more than I ought to have. Even with their discounts and coupon.
Most books were simply 25% off their list price unless otherwise noted. But then get an email from scholastic for 30% entire store online. Geez. And several books I found 40+% off on amazon for exact same book and cover.
The fill a box for $25 section was full of literal junk books. Stuff I have seen at the dollar tree like john and Kate +8, seriously scholastic?!?! And a bunch of unheard of japanese manga and other really odd junk.
Be smart folks. Shop wise if you dare. It isn't all it's cracked up to be if you are truly savung money or needing specific titles. Just look on amazon or use the scholastic website discounts.
