Website Order Fulfillment Made Easy

With the website we create for you, you can either handle the book fulfillment when your readers order copies of your book, or you can have us do it for you. Because you pay wholesale printing costs and make 100% of all revenue from each book sold, selling books this way instead of through Amazon.com (or other retailers) will earn you at least 50% more money on each sale.

Personally handling your own book fulfillment involves mundane and time consuming tasks that you may wish to delegate to an outside service.  Some of the day-to-day selling duties include: receiving stock copies of your book, accepting orders, and shipping books out to customers. These tasks can be daunting when combined with an author´s additional daily obligations, so let us manage your order fulfillment!

For authors who want to sell their books online, but refuse to be mired down in the inanities of the fulfillment of their book orders, we offer our services. Our fees are minimal-- $1.50 per book plus postage, which means that, for just a small service fee, you can be assured that your online orders are being taken care of.  The charge is just to cover the employee cost of boxing, addressing, and mailing out the package.

Cost: $1.50 per book plus postage (which is paid by the customer). After the first year in the program, there is a renewal fee of $249.00, which includes thewarehousing fee of $18/month. Monies paid cover inventory management, storage, account management, sales reporting, and maintaining your custom account (where you can log in and access your order history, customer information, and more). MCP will pay the monthly warehousing fee for the first year.

In order to properly handle your book fulfillment, we build a unique, custom back end administrative system to manage your customers´ orders and shipping / tracking of books.

Cost: $699

What you get: 

  • Custom designed administrative console designed to fulfill and ship your books
  • Includes emails to your readers providing a USPS tracking number and informing them that the book has been shipped.
  • Monthly reports showing you sales, costs, and profits.
  • A check in the total amount of all sales less $1.50 for each book shipped by us (paid within 10 business days after the month´s end).
