discounts

Our stores offer a host of exciting discounts year-round on book, music, and movie titles ranging from select new releases to bestsellers and the classics. Visit your favorite Borders to find a great deal on something new or something to build your library.

Outlined below are several specialized discount programs we offer to meet the needs of our customers. Customers outside the U.S., please visit your local store for information on discount options available at your location.

Please note: If more than one discount is applicable to a title, the higher of the two discounts will be applied. We do not combine discounts. Discounts do not apply to titles marked as "NET," periodicals, gift certificates, sidelines, cafe food, and non-stock special orders.

Quantity Discounts
All customers are eligible for quantity discounts on the purchase of 10 or more copies of the same item (including bargain books) in one purchase. These discounts are:

10% off for 10-19 copies of a single paperback title
15% off for 10-19 copies of a single hardcover title
15% off for 20-29 copies of a single title
20% off for 30 or more copies of a single title

Teachers & Librarians
If you are a teacher/librarian for students in preschool through 12th grade, and can show current proof of employment (an employee ID or pay stub), you are eligible for the 20% Classroom Discount Card. If you are a homeschooler and can provide any applicable state certification, you are also eligible for the 20% Classroom Discount Card. Homeschoolers in states without certification should contact a manager at the store for instructions on how to document your status as a homeschooler. The 20% discount will be applied to the list price of books, music and videos purchased in a Borders store for use in the classroom or for classroom preparation (DVDs, non-stock special orders, used and out-of-print books, shipping, electronics, video games, periodicals and gift certificates are excluded).

We're sorry, but student teachers, substitute teachers, teachers at a university, and teachers of adult education classes do not currently qualify for the discount.

Business & Educator Services Discounts
We offer the Borders Business & Educator Services Card to businesses, institutions, and organizations that would like to receive discounts on merchandise for use by their organization. Cardholders save 20% on single, qualifying store purchases under $1,000, and 25% on purchases over $1,000. In addition, documented tax-exempt organizations are not charged sales tax. Visit Borders Business & Educator Services for more details or to apply.
