FAQ

Is it cost effective?

 

Do I have to use a PayPal® account to make a purchase?

Not necessarily although PayPal® is the easiest and fastest. PayPal® creates a secure transaction. If you don't have a PayPal® account you can create one in minutes. For more information, see the PayPal® website.

 

 

Is there another way to pay?

Yes! You can contact me through my contact page on the left and I can give you information on how to send your school or district check, money order, or cashier's check. Upon receipt and clearance of payment I will be happy to send you your files.

 

 

Do you accept Purchase Orders?

Unfortunately, we do not.  We can work with you and your school about a school or district check.  The fastest, easiest way would be PayPal® and then receive reimbursement from your school or district.

 

 

If I use my PayPal® Account, how does my school reimburse me?

Check with your school or district about their refund policies. You will receive a receipt from PayPay® and this can be used to receive reimbursement from your school or district.

 

 

But what if my school doesn't reimburse me?

I would check that before ordering. Perhaps they can send a check instead. If they don't reimburse you, as an educator you probably qualify for an Educator Expense Deduction for your taxes.  (This is not official tax advice, but only a potential option.)

 

Do you collect sales tax on purchases?

Texas customers pay 8.25% sales tax on all purchases. We do not collect sales tax for other states or countries.

 

 

My school purchases are tax-exempt. What do I need to do?

Texas Residents:

All purchases from within the state of Texas will pay sales tax at the time of the purchase. If you are a school purchasing a piece of music you are tax exempt, however I still need documentation of that. 

For example:

But what if I already sent you a tax exempt form from a previous purchase?

If you have purchased from timwmusic.com before and you sent in a tax exempt form then I already have it on file. After your purchase, simply email me that your tax exempt form is on file and I will credit your account upon verification.
