SHIPPING - US & Canada ONLY
FedEx SmartPost (2-7 days) and FedEx 2-Day are available at checkout (shipped from Los Angeles, California) for US orders.
Shipping does not include handling time, which may take up to 36 business hours. Calculate weekend, USA national holiday, and any known snowstorm, hurricane, or other natural disasters into your plans :)
Shipping speed and costs to Canada vary greatly by region. We provide an initial estimate at checkout so you can order and pay, but the warehouse will hold the orders until we get you a final cost. We can adjust the order after we know the shipping, or you can ask for a quote ahead of time before you pay.
Shipping is cheaper when you buy in bulk. If you are buying 9+ units of Ready-Mades, you will not be able to get a true shipping rate and need to request a quote.
See FAQ for returns and refunds.

CONTENTS
The READY-MADE KITS contains 3 packs of reusable game supplies, each packaged in a reusable plastic envelope*. Each individual pack contains the supplies needed to play the game with 4-6 people: a full set of Life Experience Cards with a tuck box, 25 straws, 30 pipe cleaners, 10 plastic weights with metal hooks, one die, and a velvet bag.
To prepare for gameplay, you will need to download and print one Life Journal and one Game Rule Book for each play group. These can be downloaded for FREE on our website. These materials are not included because we revise them frequently based on user feedback. You will need those regardless of which version of the game you purchase.
You will also need to download The Science of Early Childhood & The Brain Architecture Game Video and play it for participants before they dive in. This video, featuring neuroscientist Judy Cameron, offers clear instructions for gameplay and is an important part of getting the most out of the learning experience of The Brain Architecture Game.
*The product pictures show the rigid clear envelopes from the previous stock. The new stock has softer clear envelopes -- more resistant to dry climate and cracking.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Paypal OR credit/debit card (multiple countries), or online banking via Paypal eCheck (US only). The latter requires an invoice request to us.
A Paypal account is not needed (they are just the payment processor behind the scene), except in the case of certain procurement cards. You can ignore the Paypal prompt to login, which tends to appear first -- just use the credit card option.
If your card is rejected, Paypal most likely wants you to create an account with your card for security reasons, but the error message will not state that. Please create an account with Paypal or use a different card as we do not have another method of processing payments.
TAXES + W9 FORM
Sales tax will be applied to California orders only. If you are a tax-exempt organization in California, email us your exemption certificate and we will create a special invoice for you that is tax-exempt and email it to you for purchase.
Our tax forms, including W9, can be found here.
