HarperCollins Holiday Express Program Begins October 30

Independent booksellers in the U.S. can take advantage of HarperCollins’ 2017 Holiday Express Shipping Program from Monday, October 30, through Friday, January 12, 2018.

Under the program, all qualifying orders received by 3:00 p.m. EST will ship out the next business day and will be expedited so that in most cases they will be delivered in two business days, provided books are in stock and the account is in good credit standing.

All reorders of HarperCollins and Harlequin titles are eligible for the Holiday Express Shipping Program. New title laydowns will continue to ship by the established on-sale date for each title.

The minimum for a single order is 30 units. If the minimum order is not reached because HarperCollins is out of stock on any titles and the customer allows backorders, then HarperCollins will still ship the order free freight. If the out-of-stock titles become available within the program timeframe, the balance of the order will be expedited at no extra charge.

Booksellers should process their orders in the same way they always have; no special instructions are needed. All orders placed from October 30 to January 12 will receive the special handling.

Questions about the Holiday Express Shipping Program should be addressed to a store’s HarperCollins sales representative.
