Resource | Fulfillment - Services

Fulfillment services cost money, but they save you time. Even using a fulfillment service, you will usually make more money on your books than by sending your readers to buy at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. When you find a fulfillment service that you trust, your job is to keep them supplied with books and collect the mail with your monthly sales check.

Fulfillment services vary widely in cost and quality. One service charges a flat fee of 35% for fulfillment. Other services charge less than three dollars per book. Book storage fees, administration fees, and return policies vary between companies. Some fulfillment services are associated with specific printers, eliminating shipping costs from the printer to the shipping warehouse.
