Why choose ASAP ordering?

When time matters, ASAP ordering delivers. Place your order through the MBS system or MBS Service Center, and we’ll match your wantlist against our inventory snapshot. Then, we ship what’s available within 24 hours or the next business day. No delays. No stress.

Want even more flexibility? Try a Bin-and-Hold.

Bin-and-hold gives your store a broader inventory match and more control. Hold your order for as little as one day, request reworks, and update quantities as needed. As books become available, we add them to your bin. When your timeframe ends, you get one consolidated shipment. It’s a simple, flexible and efficient option.

The MBS Advantage:

✔ Save money — Discounted new and used textbooks

✔ Save time — Fill more inventory needs with one order

✔ Stay ahead of rush — ASAP orders ship in 24 hours or next business day
