Ordering Information

Purchase Orders

If you are registered with and paying through the NC E-Procurement System, orders will be sent to us through the system. Please take extra care to select the correct vendor address in the system (look for Publication Sales in the address):

NC DEPT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION
6307 Mail Service Center Publication Sales
RALEIGH, NC  27699
United States
Contact: Gene Buchanan

Purchase orders not utilizing the E-Procurement system can be emailed to publications@dpi.nc.gov or mailed to:
NCDPI Publication Sales
Attn: Gene Buchanan
6307 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699

You do NOT need to fill out a Publication Sales form when submitting a purchase order as long as the item numbers, titles, contact phone number and ship-to address are included on the PO. 

Purchase orders cannot be taken over the phone.

Purchase orders will be invoiced. Please note: the actual cost of shipping plus applicable sales tax will be added to the invoice. Actual shipping costs are based on UPS charges billed to the agency.

Credit Card / P-Card Orders

Mastercard, Visa and P-Card purchases must be made by telephone. For security reasons, do not email or mail credit card numbers. Call toll free 1-800-663-1250 or 919-807-3301 for credit card purchases. 

Buyers using credit cards are welcomed and encouraged to fill out our Prepaid Order Form in advance and email it to publications@dpi.nc.gov. We will call you as soon as we’ve looked over your form & confirmed it’s accuracy for your credit card information. 

Credit card orders will include 20% shipping and the applicable sales tax for your county. 

Prepaid Order Form — Form fillable Acrobat Reader version. Download to your computer and launch in Acrobat Reader (saves more consistently than attempting to fill and save in your web browser). 

Prepaid Order Form — No form fields. If the form-fillable version does not work for you, you can print this version, fill out by hand & email us a scanned copy.

Paying by Check

Fill out the Prepaid Order Form and mail to:
