For a successful book fulfillment process with a 3PL – no matter if you sell to bookstores, customers, or school districts – you need the right partner. Having a 3PL to handle book orders will make your life much easier. But how do you do that?
Unfortunately, it’s just not as simple as sending your books to any fulfillment company. You need the right one, who can bring experience and expertise to your publishing fulfillment needs. Here are our top tips for finding book fulfillment services.
They take care of your inventory: You don’t want the books arriving damaged, with torn or folded pages. The right book fulfillment partner will take care of your inventory, storing and shipping orders in a safe way to ensure no damage from debris or transportation.
They can use branded packaging for your orders: By bringing unique and branded packaging to B2C orders, you can create a memorable experience for your customers, creating excitement before they even open the box to find their new books.
They have shipping discounts with multiple carriers: Great 3PLs have negotiated carrier discounts with a variety of shipping partners like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, to reduce the shipping costs for your own business.
They have customized services: Shipping, warehousing, fulfillment, and logistics are not a one size fits all. Your business has unique needs, and your customers are unique too. No matter what type of books you sell – fiction or nonfiction, textbook or children’s – customizing your logistics services just makes sense, so you get exactly what you need.

AMS Fulfillment has served the book industry in both the distribution of wholesale and sample products. We provide critical support to publishing companies and their sales reps as they pursue market share when states approve new textbook adoptions in various educational subjects. Our experience in this area is extensive and valuable to our clients.
AMS provides complex kitting (displays with marketing materials, dozens of teacher and student edition textbook samples, etc.) and fulfillment services to K-12 schools across the western United States.
Working closely with the publisher’s corporate office and salesforce, AMS adheres to tight order turnarounds, ensuring that those responsible for textbook purchasing decisions receive samples prior to state adoptions.
Shipping products to schools and educational institutions are vastly different from shipping consumer products through traditional wholesale or retail channels. Many schools do not have dedicated receiving departments or standard receiving practices, which can add complexity to the supply chain process.
How is that a problem? Let’s say a teacher removes textbooks from a shipment without notifying the right contacts. This results in a quantity shortage. AMS confirms the weights of shipments to account for all materials and ensures quality. If shipments are delivered before schools are back in session, loading dock personnel may not be on hand to inspect and verify the receipt of goods.
We maintain strategic relationships with trucking companies that understand this industry and ensure that the process runs smoothly.
AMS acts as the operational arm for our clients, providing support in the following areas:
