Campus stores benefit from bin-and-hold orders, however last-minute changes and adoptions might mean you need to get those books as soon as possible. MBS is here to serve all your store’s textbook ordering needs. As a premier company for wholesale textbooks, we provide a one-stop location for new and used book inventory.
The Difference Between Bin-and-Hold and ASAP orders
Bin-and-hold order – A bin-and-hold order is left with us for a set amount of time determined by your store. During that time, more books are added to your bin through reworks or as you update your store’s want list 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. A bin can be left with us for just a couple days or longer as time permits.
ASAP order – An ASAP order is compared against a snapshot of our inventory when the order is placed. Any books we have on your store’s want list will be compiled and shipped the next business day.
More Wholesale Inventory Through MBS
MBS’ fluid inventory flow means that we have more of the books your store needs constantly coming into our facility. Additionally, our state-of-the-art warehouse and logistics expertise ensures we can get your order to you ASAP for those late adoptions.

Simply place your order as you usually would from MBS, and we’ll take care of the rest.
