Logical Operations product offerings

 

CHOICE: This is our premier material which comes in print & digital and digital only. The digital PDF eBook can be viewed and printed. Many products also include an ePub version for use in e-readers.  The material is revised when needed. The Choice platform contains the data files and eBook.  Please note the data files are only available via the provided access key.

 

SELECT: This is legacy material that comes in print & digital and digital only (not all titles were converted to digital, so some are print only). It uses a flip viewer technology, so the eBook is meant to be viewed online, not printed. Legacy SELECT products will not be revised. The Select Platform contains the data files and eBook. The data files can also be found by clicking on the course title and clicking on the Product Datafiles tab.

 

AXZO: This is material we acquired during our purchase of the assets of Axzo Press. It’s print material only. Legacy AXZO products will not be revised. All the data files are found under the Instructor version by clicking on the course title and clicking on the Product Datafiles tab.

 

MARKETPLACE: These are high-quality materials from selected third-party publishers. The publisher determines if they are available digitally, in print, or both.  The publisher is responsible for product quality and maintenance.

 

When can I expect to receive my order?

 

Electronic Fulfillment

 

Electronic orders are fulfilled within 24 business hours of order confirmation.

 

Physical Product

Customers can calculate their anticipated delivery date prior to finalizing their order. The date is calculated based upon the availability of the product for shipment and the time required for the order to reach its destination using the selected delivery method. (Note: Saturday delivery is available in limited areas and must be specifically requested.)

 

Note: The store provides messaging on when your product will be available to ship.  All physical products are print on demand, so the message will say “Ships in 3 days.”   

 

Note: The standard production lead time is 3 business days.   Production lead time begins the next business day following the day you have placed your order.

 

Need to have your products arrive sooner?  Contact the Client Services Department to request a Product Expedite.  If we can fit your order request into the daily schedule, a $125 fee will be added to the invoice.  This fee is $125 per order request.

 

Note: FedEx does not deliver to PO Boxes. 

Note: The FedEx shipping guarantee does not include weather delays, incorrect addresses or zip codes and/or refused shipments.

 What carriers are used?

FedEx is Logical Operations' preferred carrier; however, deliveries may also be shipped via UPS & DHL (International Shipments only) when you use your own carrier account.  Please contact assist@logicaloperations.com if you want to use your own carrier account.

 

Note: Logical Operations waives its delivery responsibility when a customer’s carrier account is utilized.

 

Where does Logical Operations ship?

Logical Operations ships to all U.S. locations, using a local printer, and worldwide locations which are in accordance with the US Export Compliance Regulations. For any questions, please contact Client Services at 1-800-456-4677.

 

FedEx Ground delivers packages to 100% of business addresses in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. FedEx Air deliveries are available to all U.S business addresses, Puerto Rico and most worldwide locations.

 

Note: Logical Operations waives its "delivery responsibility" when shipping to a residential address. To ensure the safe arrival of your package, please include "signature required" in the shipping instructions box upon Checkout.

 

How are shipping charges calculated?

Shipping charges are calculated using the FedEx API.  The shipping is pulled real-time, from FedEx, based on weight and ship to address.   You can change the ship-to address to view additional shipping costs.

 

U.S. sales tax charges are estimated based on the shipping address for each order. Logical Operations currently charges sales tax for any shipment within NY and VA.  Tax charges vary by product depending on the state rates or rules for those products.
For international orders, the recipient of the order is responsible for paying duties and taxes into their country for any order shipped outside of the United States.

 

Shipping rates are determined by the carrier and passed onto the customer. It should be noted that the rates do increase yearly.  

 

If I ordered a digital product, when will I receive my Access Key?

After your order is completed, the Ordering Contact will receive an email within 24 business hours with Access Key and redemption instructions. The Access Key will also be posted on the “Order History” page of your Account when you login, if for any reason you have misplaced your email.

 

What if I forgot my Username and Password on the Choice Platform?

There is a “Forgot Password” and “Forgot Username” link on the Homepage of the platform to reset your information live on the platform.

 

Can I cancel/change my order? 

Our processes are streamlined to receive, process, and ship your products quickly and accurately.   Because of this efficiency, Sales Orders cannot be changed once they are submitted.  Sales Orders also cannot be cancelled/stopped once the process has started.  Client Services will be able to set up a return (RMA) for you if you are unable to cancel your order.

 

Can I return Logical Operations Print or Digital Courseware?

Yes. All qualified products must meet the following criteria listed on the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) form linked below and email to assist@logicaloperations.com

 

RMAs will be processed within 24 business hours if the form is completed accurately. Click here for RMA form.

 

When do I receive RMA credit?

RMA credit memos are generated when the books are received back to the local printer and are only approved for the books received. All returned materials are inspected, and credit may be refused for any materials that are not in an acceptable condition. For electronic products, once the product has been checked for redemption and de-activated, a credit memo will be generated.

 

What if I need to return a product because of a defect?

Logical Operations is proud to have one of the highest quality standards in the business. If a quality issue prevents you from using any of our products in their intended manner, contact Client Services at 1-800-456-4677 option 2. Our quality assurance group will address your immediate training requirement needs and will assist you with replacing the impacted items.

 

Note: Every quality claim gets logged into our quality assurance database and is assigned a QA number. This will be used to track the short-term and the long-term corrective actions used on your issue. If requested, a copy of the completed QA can be released for your review.

 

How do I submit a shipping claim?

Our service goal is that every order arrives undamaged and on time - every time. We support this goal with one of the best shipping claim policies in the business. Except for extreme weather or emergency situations, if we cause you to suffer a late, damaged, or incomplete delivery, we will promptly work with you to evaluate the issue and determine the appropriate support action. To submit a claim call Client Services at 1-800-456-4677 option 2 within two business days of the delivery receipt.

 

While the local printer prepares and packages all shipments to prevent damage, sometimes accidents happen, and damage can occur while in transit. Upon delivery make sure to inspect the package. If your shipment is visibly damaged, note all details with the driver before signing for the shipment, then contact Logical Operations Client Services. If the damage isn't noticed until after delivery, contact Logical Operations Client Services within two business days of receipt so a damage claim can be placed with the carrier. Keep all packaging and products for carrier review.

 

Note:  Photos of damaged products and packaging are required for all Shipping Claims.

 

When will I receive an Invoice?

Invoices will be submitted electronically to the Bill To Contact on the account once the product has shipped or fulfilled.  For multiple shipments, multiple invoices may be generated.  Any concern(s) with your invoice must be reported within 30 days of receipt.  Our Finance Department can be reached at the following:

 

US - AR@logicaloperations.com or by phone at 1-800-456-4677

Canada - ARCA@logicaloperations.com or by phone at 1-800-456-4677

EMEA - AREMEA@logicaloperations.com or by phone at 1-800-456-4677

 

Note: An Administrative charge totaling 3% of the total order (with a minimum of $5) will be applied to any invoices that are paid with a credit card after the time of transaction. All invoice discrepancies need to be addressed in writing within 30 days. All invoices after 30 days are considered final.

Note:  Logical Operations, including the eStore, accepts the following credit cards for payment:  Mastercard, VISA, AMEX and Discover Card.

 

What if I would like a paper invoice?

Product Definitions

Q: What is the definition of final courseware?

A: Final courseware carries a revision number of 1.0 or higher. Final courseware has been through Logical Operations’ full development, production, and proofing process. This includes a test class to check instructional validity, as well as several editorial and quality phases.

 

Q: What does it mean if the revision number is greater than 1.0?

A: There has been some change to the courseware since the initial publication. Check the Revision Notes field on the product’s Revision Information tab for a brief description of recent revisions. Check the Content Revisions (Content Revisions | Logical Operations) page for more detail on a specific revision.  Revision levels include: 

  • Slipfix (very minor change or changes; unannounced and slipstreamed into production; no increment to edition number; no revisions document or revision notes)
  • .0# revision (small changes that don’t affect page breaks or activity steps)
  • .# revision (changes of any scope that do affect page breaks and/or activity steps)
  • #.0 revision (changes with significant impact on the course as a whole, up to and including full course redesign) 

 

Q: What is the definition of First Look courseware?

A: First Look courseware carries a .95 revision number. Generally, this means that test class has been completed, but the full production and proofing process has not. Though the material is teachable, it may not have been edited or key checked, and will have a variety of content discrepancies from the final version. Some of the digital CHOICE components, such as assessments, may not be present. If you purchase and deploy CHOICE keys to First Look content, rest assured that the digital assets on the CHOICE course page (including the eBooks) will automatically be updated when final is released (as they are for any content revision for an existing CHOICE product).

 

Q: What does “Coming Soon” mean?

A: The course is actively in development but is not ready to be released as First Look. A draft outline will be included when it is available.

 

Q: What is a prerelease evaluation?

A: Prerelease evaluation-only materials may be provided in electronic PDF format for certain courses where content is present in a draft state but has not been tested and approved for First Look or Final release. The pre-release is intended for early customer review and preliminary trainer preparation only. It is not intended for use in a training event. PowerPoint slide decks and data files are not provided.
