Watch for it in the middle of the week (likely Wednesday or Thursday, February 9 or 10, 2022) with our typical blow-out pricing and limited quantities. As always, no item will be sold that is unusable; these products have cosmetic blemishes only!
If you have not participated in our Annual Damaged Sale yet, you'll want to know that many items have extremely limited quantities and sell out within minutes. We often give our Facebook and Instagram community a heads-up as to exactly when it will launch, or simply stay tuned to your emails for an "it's live now" email!
Insider Tips:
Three things will help you race to success on Damaged Sale day.
First, make a list of the things you'd like to find, so you don't forget any in all of the excitement.
Second, if you have any items that you'd like to add to your order even if they aren't available damaged, we suggest popping them in your cart now. It's super easy to remove them from your cart if you find a damaged copy, but if you don't, you're still ready to check out without delays.
Third, we inevitably hear from a few of you who have lost your passwords or logins. Logging in now to make sure everything is current may save you another few minutes on sale day.
Timberdoodle's Annual Damaged Sale is a massive sale with literally hundreds of different items included. Generally, items begin selling out within minutes so if you've never been part of a Timberdoodle Damaged Sale, there are a few things you may want to know before it goes live:
#1. Every Item is Useable
Many items in this sale have some sort of imperfection due to manufacturing flaws, damage incurred in shipping, or an overly-enthusiastic employee. This is generally something like damaged packaging, a dented corner, or a scuffed or crinkled cover on a book.
Fear not, this merchandise is absolutely in suitable condition for any family's use. In no case will we ship a product with damage that inhibits the usefulness of the product.
#2. Be Fast
If you and someone else have the same last copy of _ in your cart, whoever checks out first will get it. As soon as the other family checks out, that book will disappear from your cart since it is no longer available. Because many damaged items tend to sell out extraordinarily quickly, we urge you not to delay completing your order. We don't want you to be disappointed by putting an item in your shopping cart, then later upon checkout finding it sold out. Unfortunately, until you check out and commit to your purchase, you really won't know for sure what you have. We know that can be irksome, but we have yet to find a more satisfactory solution.
#3. Some Limits
So that as many customers as possible can benefit from this sale, we reserve the right to limit quantities to three of any single item… you may purchase as many different damaged items as you like, but not more than three of any one specific damaged item. (Should you want four copies of the same workbook for your four kids, don't worry. In most cases this is not something we need to be sticklers on, but after having some storefronts grab up stacks of books before our customers could check out we felt we needed to add this clause.)
#4. Items Sold As-Is
Because of the deep discounting on these items, Dented, Damaged, and Closeout products do not qualify for reward points even if you review them. Most importantly, please keep in mind that products ordered from this discount section are sold as-is and as such are nonreturnable/nonrefundable. (However, should you somehow receive an unusable item, simply contact us and we will make it right.)
#5. Online Only
The damaged sale is available for internet orders only. We absolutely cannot accept school purchase orders or phoned-in orders for damaged items since inventory is monitored by the website. Due to the heavy influx of orders, we cannot combine orders here either. Each order must make its way speedily to the warehouse in order to keep our inventory accurate.
#6. Expect Delays
Our warehouse crew is standing by at the ready to race your orders out the door. However, due to the massive influx of orders during the sale, we have found that it is best to anticipate an up-to-two-week shipping delay. We'll do our best to beat that, but don't be surprised if it takes longer than normal for you to get tracking.
#7. Get Ready to Save!
We often hear from you that this sale is your favorite of the year. The items are often minimally damaged and the savings are significant for those of us on a budget. You're going to love it!
