We provide college stores with a variety of course material formats and options to help you lower costs. While maximizing low-cost used book inventory gives students the greatest cost-saving, it is not always possible to find used books for every student. When you purchase new book inventory from MBS, your store can actually save money and we accept 100% returns on new books.
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.
Chances are you have probably heard of SimpleSource — your store might even use it for ordering. The benefits of SimpleSource are undeniable. This ordering tool, designed to help college stores maximize their wantlist fulfillment with minimal effort, is free and available to all college stores. However, there are still a few things about SimpleSource that you might not know.
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.
Ordering through MBS SimpleSource helps stores save money, time and get more books. The process is simple. Start your SimpleSource order as soon as possible. The earlier titles are submitted, the more discounted inventory you will have access to as the wantlist is reworked. Follow the progress of your order fulfillment in SimpleSource with easy to understand charts and graphs or set your cycles and let them run. We will take care of the rest.
