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.

Unfortunately, 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 all of your additional daily obligations, so let us manage your order fulfillment for you!

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 fulfillment 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.  That charge simply covers our employee cost of boxing, addressing, and mailing out the package, there are no hidden fees attached. Plus, during the first year of the service, MCP even pays the monthly warehousing fee!

Cost: $1.50 per book plus postage (postage is paid by the customer). After the first year in the program, there is a renewal fee of $299.00, which includes the warehousing/storage fee for up to 500 books of one title, for one full year. 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 -- see an example, below).

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

Cost: $699

What you get: 

  • Custom designed back-end administrative console so you can log in and check your sales, inventory, and more.
  • Monthly reports showing you sales, costs, and profits.
  • Books shipped to your customers within 24-36 hours (2-3 business days).
  • Emails to your customers providing order confirmation, tracking information, and a link to log in and check the status of their orders.
