It’s that time of year to start submitting your store’s fall want list for a bin-and-hold order. The earlier your want list is turned in the better your fulfillment will be. Here are a few tips to help you maximize your want list fulfillment.
Summer and fall ordering are already underway. If you haven’t started your bin yet, now is a great time to do it. To ensure you get the most low-cost used and new textbooks possible, here are a few tips to help you maximize your order fulfillment.
The end of term is rapidly approaching, and stores are starting to receive textbook adoptions. It is never too early to submit a wantlist to MBS and start a bin and hold. As new adoptions come in, you can easily update your list and request multiple reworks, helping your store maximize fulfillment, access more of our low-cost inventory and get more books in one shipment.
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.
Submitting a bin-and-hold order is a fantastic way to make sure your store has the quantities of low-cost course materials it needs for the fall term. We have collected three best practices to help you maximize your wantlist fulfillment.
Wantlists can be handled in different ways, but the goal is always the same: get more access to books you need at the lowest possible cost. One of the best methods to do that is by utilizing wantlist reworks. A rework is when your wantlist is compared to the available inventory more than once a day. For example, when you submit a wantlist to MBS and leave it there for a length of time, it can be compared against our inventory multiple times a day. Each time the list is compared, that is a rework.
