Publishers Shipping & Storage Corp

Publishers Storage & Shipping Corp. began operations in Concord, Massachusetts in 1973 providing service to one small publisher. Now over 250 publishers are served through facilities in Fitchburg, MA, Ypsilanti, MI, and Pine Brook, NJ.

From its conception Publishers Storage and Shipping Corp. has always given conscientious and prompt service to all publishers regardless of size or amount of business. No contracts are required.

Small publishers generally find that it is less expensive to entrust the fulfillment aspects of their book business to Publishers Storage and Shipping Corp. than it is to do it themselves. Not only can key executive and editorial personnel devote their time to manuscript development and marketing rather than supervising warehouse/mailing activity, but also the publisher pays for no standby personnel during slow shipping periods.

TGI Direct

This full service operation offers all the bells and whistles of a full service fulfillment operation at a fraction of the cost that it would take to duplicate.

Ware-Pak

A modern distribution and fulfillment service serving the book publishing industry since 1963.

Featured Service

"Think of us as your "no overhead" distribution and fulfillment house. Our ability to fulfill this claim has enabled us to retain our original customers who first approached us back in 1963 about providing warehousing and distribution services. Now, more than 38 years later, we've grown our client list to include publishers in the retail, educational and specialty book markets.

Ware-Pak, Inc.

University Park, IL 60466

PH: 708-534-2600
FX: 708-534-7803

Kshay@Ware-Pak.com

Our warehouse-control accuracy is 99.9% on-target because of our inventory management system, which uses radio-frequency and bar-coding technology. These tools also allow you to directly monitor and track your product. With your private access code, you can:

  • Utilize our interactive warehouse management system to gain a new level of control.

  • Track receiving, returns, put away, movement, kitting, assembly, replenishment, picking, packing, shipping, cycle count and physical inventory.

  • Monitor your inventory at our warehouse any time you please."
     

Why we featured: Ware-Pak

There are lots of distribution companies serving book publishers.

Ware-Pak is one of the few that has successfully embraced the use of modern technology to better service their clients and their clients' customers. Since 1963 they have dedicated themselves to serving the publishing industry.

Note: We always recommend that our clients evaluate several vendors and check references before making any purchasing decision. When selecting a fulfillment house we  "strongly" recommend that you make an on-site visit to each candidate's operation to evaluate their operation.

Fulfillment Service Tip: Have a look at the orders that their customer service staff are processing. If orders are more than a day old you might want to look elsewhere.

Fulfillment Service Tip: Check the financial stability of your proposed fulfillment house. How long have they been around? What is their D&B rating? Have they been profitable for the last few years? Have they been investing in new equipment? Is their warehouse 3/4 empty or 3/4 full? Is their client list growing?
