While college stores can get the most benefits from a bin-and-hold order, sometimes you might need to place an ASAP order. MBS is here to serve all of your ordering needs from the efficiency of a bin and hold to the urgency of ASAP. As a premier company for wholesale textbooks, we are a one-stop location for all of the new and used book inventory you need.

Three Reasons to Choose MBS for ASAP OrdersThe different types of orders

Bin-and-hold order – A bin-and-hold order is left with us for a set amount of time. During that time, more books are added to your bin through reworks or as you update your wantlist with new titles and/or quantities. You will then receive your consolidated order in one shipment, or you can choose to have several orders arrive on designated dates.

ASAP order – An ASAP order is compared against a snapshot of our inventory when the order is placed. Any books we have on your wantlist will be compiled and shipped to you typically within 24 hours.
