Book Fulfilment Service

Most of us have fond memories of reading or being read to as a child. Knowledge and stories shape our lives. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success. Reading for pleasure certainly brought success for Amazon, with humble origins as an online bookstore. Whilst the likes of Kindle and Audible may diversify the way we read, there is still a huge demand for physical books. The online market for first and second-hand books is increasingly competitive. With diverse sales channels and a saturated market, ensuring efficient and secure fulfilment is critical in this fast-moving sector.

What are Book Fulfilment Services?

Significant resources are required to process and deliver orders on time and in perfect condition. With high volume seasonal fluctuations testing the capacity of companies. Efficient third-party logistics providers can be the difference in optimising secure handling of diverse product ranges of delicate goods. The secure delivery of books can present substantial challenges. Access to premium carriers and appropriate delivery options make the difference in the safe delivery of books.  

Outsourcing book fulfilment services to experienced third-party logistics providers allows authors and publishers to greatly reduce costs. Fixed costs such as warehouse rent and labour can be surpassed by flexible solutions with adaptable pricing. Whilst Amazon may be the most popular online retailer for books, Amazon fulfilment does not provide the same level of bespoke solutions and personalised packaging. In contrast, third-party book fulfilment services provide businesses of all sizes more control over their branding and packaging, without the hassle and cost of in-house fulfilment.
