Intercambio Network Membership

As of June 1, 2020, our payment policy has changed. All orders must be paid in advance. We accept payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, checks and Purchase Orders. Written and signed Purchase Orders are an acceptable form of payment, and may be sent to orders@intercambio.org. Purchases made my purchase order must be paid within 60 days of receipt of product. Accounts with unpaid purchases will immediately be placed on hold after 60 days and no new products will be shipped until payment on original order is received. For additional questions, please contact resources@intercambio.org

Please place your order online and select “pay by purchase order” as your payment option. Then, email your organization’s completed purchase order document to orders@intercambio.org. Purchases made by purchase order must be paid within 60 days of receipt of product. Orders will not ship until we received a copy of the purchase order document.

Please place your order online and select “quote” as your payment option. Your quote will be emailed to you. No order will be processed or shipped until we receive confirmation from your organization. 

For the quickest service, all orders – including orders placed with a purchase order – should be placed online. 

Orders placed online generally ship in 1 – 3 business days, depending on time and size of order.

Expedited order processing is available for a $15 fee per order. To place an expedited order, contact orders@intercambio.org. 

Intercambio offers two shipping rates with USPS – Media Mail and Priority Mail. Media Mail typically arrives in 6-10 days; Priority Mail should arrive within 2-4 business days. 

UPS Group shipping is also available and generally takes 3-5 days. 

Please note that neither shipping rate is guaranteed; please plan accordingly. 

You will receive an email with tracking information when your order ships. (Note: This email will come from fullfillment@fredericprinting.com, but all inquiries should be directed to orders@intercambio.org. The tracking email is auto-generated, so it may end up in your junk mail.)

If you have paid for Priority Mail or UPS Ground and have not received your order in 8 days from date of shipment, contact us at orders@intercambio.org to make arrangements. If you have paid for Media Mail and have not received your order in 3 weeks from date of shipment, contact us at orders@intercambio.org to make arrangements.  We do not refund shipping costs. 

Orders that are not received due to incorrect shipping addresses entered while placing the order will not be refunded, and a new order will need to be placed at full price. 

Shipping is calculated for you when you order online. If you have any questions or need help calculating your shipping costs, please do not hesitate to contact us. Expedited shipping is available for an additional fee.

The total shipping fee includes postage and handling. Intercambio charges a 3% handling charge on all orders, calculated as a percentage of the total product price (excluding shipping). This handling charge is in addition to postage rates. 

If you need to make any changes to an order (including incorrectly entered addresses, or product additions) after it is placed but before it is processed for shipping, there will be an additional charge of $5. Once orders are processed for shipping, we are unable to accommodate any changes. 

All products offer a quantity discount.
Confidence and Connections is based on your total book purchase: 1-49 and 50+.
The Immigrant Guide and Pronunciation Fun quantity discounts occur at a quantity of 100 and 500 books.  

Because most of our customers are tax-exempt organizations, we do not add sales tax to your order. We pay sales tax to local entities when necessary, but we do not pass that charge on to our customers.

Listening tracks for Confidence & Connections are available on the Intercambio app, which can be used on tablets and smartphones. To download the free app, visit:

Intercambio.org/AppleICApp (Apple products)

Intercambio.org/AndroidICApp (Android products)

Once the app is installed and opened, you will select the appropriate Level (number and letter). You will then see the track list for the book and be able to play the listening track for your lesson.

All sales are final.  Additionally, please be sure to confirm that the shipping address you enter is correct before placing your order. Intercambio will not be responsible for orders shipped incorrectly to the address provided in the order.

Set up your account with multiple addresses in advance:

1. Go to intercambio.org/my-account/, or click ‘My Account’ on the top right of any page on Intercambio’s website.
2. Click ‘Addresses’ from the navigation menu.
3. First, make sure you’ve added a default billing and shipping address to your account. Click the blue ‘Add’ text, or if you need to make changes to a previously entered address, click the blue ‘Edit’ text, to enter your default addresses.
4. Then, to enter secondary shipping addresses, click the orange ‘Add Address’ button.
5. Enter the address, then click ‘Save Address’.
6. Repeat steps 4 – 5 as many times as addresses you need to enter.

Checkout using multiple addresses:

1. After adding all needed items to your cart from intercambio.org/shop, from your cart, click the orange ‘Proceed to Checkout’ button.
2. Click the orange ‘Enter or Choose Addresses’ button.
3. Each individual product in your cart will appear on a separate line, including multiples of the same product (i.e. the number of lines will match the total number of items in your cart, not the number of different products). For each line, select the address from the drop down for that product. To send multiples to one address, each product will need to have the correct address selected on each separate line.
   • If you need to update quantities of products, you may do so from this page. Simply click the orange ‘Delete’ button to reduce the quantity, or edit the number in the quantity box to add. Click ‘Update’. Note that for increasing the quantity, after clicking ‘Update’, the products will be split into separate lines, each with a quantity of 1.
   • The options from the drop down bar will include the addresses you entered into your account in steps 1 – 6. If you didn’t complete those steps in advance, just click the blue ‘Add a new shipping address’ text to enter a new shipping address. If you enter a new address during the Checkout process, it will save the address to your account for future use. Both processes result in saving multiple addresses to your account; the only difference is if you decide to enter those before placing an order or while doing so.
4. Click ‘Update’ to see changes and stay on the same page, or click the orange ‘Save Addresses and Continue’ button to save and return to the Checkout page.
5. Under ‘Your order’, review the products and quantities for each shipping address, making sure it has been entered accurately before placing your order.
   • The first line items under ‘Your order’ reflect the total quantities of each product in your entire order. The gray boxes underneath ‘Shipping Methods’ reflect the quantities being sent to each address.
   • Note that you can select different shipping methods – either Media or Priority Mail – for each address. Click the drop down arrow on the shipping method to change.
   • If you need to make any changes to the addresses or quantities, click the blue ‘Modify address’ text, or scroll back to the top and click the orange ‘Modify/Add Address’ button.
     • Note that in order to change a specific address (if there is a typo, for example), you’ll need to click ‘Add a new shipping address’, then click the orange ‘Edit’ button under the address you’d like to modify. Click ‘Update Address’.
6. Once confirming your order has been entered accurately, enter your payment information, then click the orange ‘Place Order’ button.
