We utilize a plugin on the site that can generate an quote before you place your order. Build your cart as you would to make a standard purchase. Then, click on the cart. Instead of checking out, instead click the "Educator Quote Request" button and enter your email address. You will receive a quote detailing the order you built, which you can submit to your school or organization. Your cart is saved between site visits, so you can come back and easily complete the checkout later.

Our ChompShop can only accept purchase orders with specific terms, because the product is still only available for pre-order and shipping timelines are subject to change. As a crowd-funded project, we need to take payment for pre-orders prior to delivering them. This allows us to pay for manufacturing of the pre-ordered product. Additionally, since we are in the early process of manufacturing, we can offer a delivery estimate but cannot guarantee a delivery timeline at this point. So, we can only accept purchase orders that align the following specifications:
- Orders will be pending until they are invoiced and paid. Pre-ordered products will not be shipped until they are paid.
- Shipping timeline is subject to change, as per Terms of Service.
If your organization is interested in pre-ordering InvenTABLE and can submit a purchase order that aligns with these terms, you or your procurement team can reach out to sales@chompshop.com.
We intend to accept purchase orders with a more standard process from educational organizations after we have available stock, and will issue an update to Kickstarter and our email list when we are in a position to do so. -
If purchasing online, we accept most major card providers and paypal. The full list is shown on the checkout page.
If your organization will submit a purchase order (see the limitations discussed above), then we also accept payment by check. Instructions to pay by check can be found on the invoice once the purchase order has been accepted.

Reach out to sales@chompshop.com with your organization information and the information you need. In most cases, we will be able to provide information like a W-9 to help you verify our ChompShop and purchase for your organization.

There are bundles of 5x and 10x ChompSaws that are a discounted rate over a single purchase. Additionally, we've partnered with GovX to offer a 10% educator discount on any products. You can take advantage of this by clicking the GovX button on the cart if you have at least one item in your cart.
You will have to complete a form on the GovX popup which requires providing your email and other information to GovX for verification.
