Overview:
You will shop on the Dick Blick site to assemble an order, but you will not pay for it. Rather, you will assemble the order, save it, and then submit it to ClassWish with this Request Form so we can authorize and pay for.  We have spelled it out step-by-step below.
1.   Check Your ClassWish Wish List Account Balance and Get Your ClassWish ID#
  • Click “My Account” in the upper right corner of any page other than the home page.
  • Click the third tab, “Donations Received and Requests Placed” to see your current balance.
  • If you want more supplies than your balance allows, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list before or within 24 hours after you shop.
  • Please make note of your account number while you are on ClassWish.org.  It is the number that appears within the URL of your wish list page.
2.   Shop for the Art Supplies You Need
  • When you have donation funds to use (or are about to add your own funds), go to http://www.dickblick.com.  (To see other vendors for other categories, please go to the home page of this ClassWish vendors site).
  • Shop like you normally would; simply add items to your cart on the Dick Blick website.
  • Because Dick Blick provides us extra services to facilitate our process, regular web prices will be applied; promotional DickBlick.com offers will not.  So do not enter any discount code in the shopping cart (see the areas marked with a red X to the right).
  • Click to proceed to checkout.
3.  Welcome to Checkout page
  • Choose to check out "With my school or business account," even if you have a Dick Blick account.  That will let you enter the ClassWish account on the next page.

  • Click Next.
4.  Next Welcome to Checkout page

  • On the 'Welcome to Checkout' page enter this information on these two fields:

               Account = 65049454 

               Zip code = 10001

  • Click Next.
5.  Shipping Info Page
  • The page will initially display an address from a prior order.  We can only ship to your school.  You MUST change the shipping address and phone to that of your school (see the red arrow). 

  • If you fail to change the shipping address to your school, we will incur extra shipping costs to send the items back to Dick Blick and then on to your school, and we will charge that extra shipping cost to your ClassWish account.  

  • Please let us know if we do not display your school address correctly on the ClassWish website. 

  • Enter your name.

  • Enter Best Value shipping and any special delivery instructions.

  • Click Next
6.  On the Secure Payment page 


Choose "Open Account Purchase" so this will be submitted to ClassWish for approval and payment. 

In the Purchase Order field, please enter the following:
CW
(PLUS)
Your ClassWish member #, which appears within the URL on your wish list page (here we use 12345 to illustrate it
(PLUS)
the date in this format: 20131012
(YYYYMMDD)

For instance, teacher #12345 who places a request on Oct 12, 2013 would enter Purchase Order #:  CW1234520131012
Note: no spaces between the elements.

If you do not use this exact way to generate an order #, your order will be delayed.

Also, you may not place more than one request for items from Dick Blick on any day.

For Daytime telephone, please provide yours.

For email address, please enter:
Requests@ClassWish.org so Blick remembers to contact us for approval and payment.

Click Next.
7.  Submit Order page
  • Double-check your order, including the shipping address.
  • Submit your order
8.  Thank You page
  • Please make a note of the Order #.
  • Please click to view a printable receipt. You will need to paste it into the form you submit to ClassWish.
9.  Now, submit your request to ClassWish so we can place the order for you.
  • Download this Request Form. Please use this particular form only for items from Blick Art. If you want to submit requests for items from other vendors, please see the instructions and forms for them. 
  • Fill in the form as instructed.  You will need the following from the Blick site:
    • Blick order #
    • Blick total amount
    • The printable receipt
  • The information you provide on the ClassWish form should match what you provided Dick Blick.
  • Copy and Paste the entire Printable Receipt (circled in green in the illustration to the right)  into that Request Form.  Be sure it includes all the items, the freight, tax and total.  

If the total amount of your Request exceeds the amount in your ClassWish account, you can immediately visit your ClassWish page and make a tax-deductible donation to cover the shortfall. 

See if your spouse's employer will match that donation.
10.   Emailing Your Request to ClassWish
  • Please save the Word document with your name and ‘Dick Blick’ in the file name.
  • Please email the Word document to us with this subject line:  Teacher request for Dick Blick materials.
  • Then just send that email to Request AT ClassWish.org  (be sure to change the “AT” to an @ sign.  Like many websites, we display it this way to reduce the risk of robots grabbing the email address for spamming).
  • You must send the email to us from the email address you used to register with ClassWish, as that helps ensure the security of your account. 

If your order exceeds the amount in your ClassWish Wish List account, please visit ClassWish.org to make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list before or right after you email your request.
11.  What Happens Next 
  • We will check to make sure you have enough funds in your ClassWish account.  If so, we will deduct the order amount from your ClassWish account.
  • We will submit the order to Dick Blick and pay for it.
  • We will send you a confirmation.
  • Dick Blick will ship the materials to you at your school.  
  • You and your students will get the resources you need.
