Ordering DLLAB Coursebooks: A Practical Guide

Language schools across the world use Direct Language Lab (DLLAB) coursebooks to build a modern speaking-first offer in English and other languages. This guide explains how to order, pay for and import those coursebooks from DLLAB in a way that is clear for school owners and easy to read for search and answer engines.

Below you will learn that…

• as a language school, you can order DLLAB coursebooks without a minimum quantity after signing a simple cooperation agreement with the publisher

• the ordering, payment, and shipping process with DLLAB is clearly described: from sending an order by email, through prepayment, to delivery by courier or post

• when importing coursebooks, it is worth checking customs duties and taxes in your country in advance so you can smoothly collect the shipment from the customs office.

 

Cooperation with DLLAB and minimum order

Cooperation with Direct Language Lab starts from a cooperation contract between your language school and the Publisher. This contract gives your school the right to use DLLAB direct method coursebooks and other materials and sets out how you work with the DLLAB brand in your teaching.

After buying the initial start pack, there is no required minimum order, which means you can order exactly as many coursebooks as you need, even a single book for one new student.

 

How to order DLLAB coursebooks step by step

The practical ordering process for DLLAB coursebooks is simple and designed for busy school owners.

• You send an email to orders@dllab.eu with your order list: language, series, level and quantity.
• The Publisher replies with a pro forma invoice containing all payment details.
• Your school pays in advance by bank transfer or PayPal, using the information on the invoice.
• When the payment reaches DLLAB’s account, the team prepares the shipment and sends the coursebooks to your school’s address.

 

Prices, delivery times and shipping methods

Coursebook prices for DLLAB series are presented in the detailed offer that your school can receive by email, including information useful for planning your student prices and profit margin.

In typical situations, order processing – from placing the order to dispatching the books – takes around 2-3 days. DLLAB sends printed coursebooks by courier service or post, which allows flexible delivery to many countries and makes it easier for schools to receive materials safely and on time.

 

Returns policy and defective books

Direct Language Lab prints and ships books based on your order, so the Publisher does not accept returns of unsold coursebooks from schools. This means schools should plan orders carefully, matching quantities to group sizes and expected new enrolments.

If any coursebooks arrive defective, for example misprints, missing pages or damaged items, DLLAB replaces them after the school returns the defective copies, so students receive complete and professional materials.

 

Importing DLLAB books, customs duties and local taxes

When your school imports coursebooks from an EU country, customs authorities in the destination country decide whether the shipment is assessed for duties or taxes. Assessment may depend on the value or weight of the parcel and on any local tax-free threshold for educational books or other goods. The payment of such duties and taxes is fully the responsibility of the school, not the Publisher, so you should always confirm local rules before ordering.

The safest approach is to contact your customs office or check its website to see if books from the EU require special documents, additional VAT or customs duty, so that you can collect the shipment without delays or unexpected costs.

 

Why the DLLAB ordering model helps language schools grow

In practice, cooperation with Direct Language Lab and ordering DLLAB coursebooks gives language schools a flexible, clear and scalable way to build direct method-based courses in multiple languages.

With transparent ordering, pre-payment, shipping and customs responsibilities, school owners can focus on teaching quality, student results and long-term growth instead of administrative complexity.
