Macmillan to Offer Expedited Holiday Shipping for Independent Booksellers

This fall, Macmillan Publishers will launch an expedited shipping program for independent retailer reorders placed between November 9, 2018, and January 15, 2019.

This program applies to independent retailers who order on Macmillan’s retail returnable schedule and for locations that typically have ship transit times of three days or greater.

Shipments with an invoice value greater than $100 will be shipped via a two-day air expedited service to locations where ship transit times are normally three days or more under standard ground services.

With this program, all independent retailers throughout the U.S. will have the benefit of ship times of two days or less.

For accounts that are typically reached within two days or less under standard ground shipping methods, there will be no changes to the current daily ship schedule for reorders.

New release orders will be dispatched as per Macmillan’s normal schedule, ensuring availability in time for publication date. Shipments with an invoice value of less than $100 will be subject to shipping minimum rules and policy.

Booksellers with questions can contact their Macmillan sales representative.
