Fulfillment Services

Fulfillment services pick, pack and ship orders for a publishing office. Some services will also process orders for the publisher and manage the accounts receivable.

Most fulfillment services charge for their service using one of two methods:


Method 1: The fulfillment service charges a percentage of sales and returns plus a storage fee.

Method 2: The fulfillment service charges a fee for invoice picked plus a unit charge for each book on that order plus a storage fee.

Value Added Resource


What software do we recommend for small to mid sized book publishers using a fulfillment service?

Book publishers with $1M to $30 in sales using an outside service to pick, pack and ship orders should evaluate Acumen's Remote Fulfillment optional module.

For publishers using a service for the entire sales; process from order taking through shipping and collections, Acumen offers a fulfillment import module.

It supports more fulfillment services out of the box than any other package; for small to medium sized publishers, on the market.

This means that you if you use one of the fulfillment services they support or the fulfillment service uses their generic import file format there is no charge for customization.

This gives the publisher flexibility when negotiating a service contract and looking for a fulfillment service.
