Smart parents
save with our
School List
Service.
We conducted a price comparison on 100
school lists from the 2017 back-to-school
period, and found that parents on average
$24.54* per child
saved when using the
Off iceworks School List Service.
To learn more, visit us in-store or go to

LEOVWEERSTY P RDICAEYS
Printed for 12/10/17. *Price match comparison ‘average saving per child of $24.54’ was conducted on 16/08/17 and is based on an indiscriminate selection of 100 school book lists for 2017 across
a range of year levels from NSW/VIC/QLD/WA/SA/ACT/TAS with itemised pricing. Comparison was based on actual Offi ceworks customer transactions, with price and product quantity matched
against original school book lists versus the identical or Offi ceworks-deemed equivalent product. The Offi ceworks 20% Parents’ Price Promise was used to beat the price on any school book list item
where the school book list price was lower than the Offi ceworks price. See offi ceworks.com.au/schoollistservice for further details. Parents’ Price Promise only applicable on prices that appeared on
valid 2017 school book lists for the quantity listed. Valid on identical stocked or Offi ceworks-deemed equivalent items where identical products are not available. Excludes competitor out of stocks,
categories or items not ranged and items available only for customer order at Offi ceworks. Cannot be used in conjunction with Offi ceworks’ 5% Price Guarantee. OWO2770_BHG1
