College stores simply submit to MBS the list of books that could be offered to students as rentals. We will send back guaranteed rebate quotes for each qualifying title. ![Get-A-Guaranteed-Quote-for-your-College-Stores-Rental-Books_FO-Header_Proof-v2_230728](https://foreword.mbsbooks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Foreword_Online/2023%20FO%20art/Get-A-Guaranteed-Quote-for-your-College-Stores-Rental-Books_FO-Header_Proof-v2_230728.jpg?width=1200&height=627&name=Get-A-Guaranteed-Quote-for-your-College-Stores-Rental-Books_FO-Header_Proof-v2_230728.jpg)This upfront guarantee tells you how much your store will receive back for your rental titles at the end of the term should you choose to send them to MBS. It makes it easier to offer students competitive prices without sacrificing your margin — you set your own rental prices and margin. Once we receive your shipment of rental books at the end of term, you will receive a check payment within 30 days of check in. ## Get started with MBS Rental: - As adoptions come in, create a list of potential rentals (i.e. all the titles you might later choose to offer as rentals) - Submit your potential rental list to MBS - Update your quote with additional titles as more adoptions come in - MBS will send back your guaranteed rebate amounts for each qualifying title Submitting a rental list to MBS for a quote is a great way to evaluate your store’s options when it comes to providing low-cost course materials.
