NTIS Pricing

Prices and product availability are subject to change without notice.
NTIS reserves the right to limit purchase quantities and to discontinue items.
NTIS frequently uses price codes to indicate the price of items sold. To convert these codes into actual prices, use our price schedule.

NTIS cannot be responsible for inaccurate pricing appearing on other agencies' Websites or through other agencies' advertisements or price quotes. See Return Policy.

Online Ordering

Shopping online at NTIS is safe and secure. NTIS accepts payment online either by major credit card or an NTIS Deposit Account. Our Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card or deposit account number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

RUSH Service (Telephone orders only)

Call 1-800-553- 6847 or (703) 605-6000

NTIS also offers its customers a RUSH Service option for an additional fee. Using RUSH service, orders for paper, microfiche, and in-stock audiovisuals are processed inhouse by NTIS within one business day, and then shipped the following business day by overnight courier to addresses within the U.S. or by airmail to addresses outside of the U.S. Because RUSH Orders are prioritized and in many cases manufactured within minutes, they cannot be modified or cancelled. (Please allow 1-3 business days for inhouse processing of RUSH orders for computer products.)
