Order Fulfillment and Drop Shipping

Many people think that once the book is written, the manuscript prepared, and the publishing completed a book project is complete. Some authors may have added a pre-publication marketing campaign that culminates in a single event where all books are picked up. This doesn't maximize getting the book out to every interested individual, but it does eliminate the need for shipping (if everyone shows up).

However for the rest of us, marketing is a continuing process and getting the books in the customer's hands often involves shipping of some sort. While each book should have it's own customized plan of marketing, based on the book and it's author, shipping - order fulfillment, pick and pack, etc. - is a service that is both easy to define and a real time saver for the author.

Shipping and handling costs include:

  • packaging/mailer, tape, labels, etc.

  • actual shipping cost

  • actual insurance cost (if choosing to insure)

  • any optional tracking - including time to prepare the paperwork

  • time needed to pack and ship

  • travel time/resources (gas, parking, etc.) may be involved

  • various time and paperwork associated with sales (whether being shipped or not).

Gregath can take as much or as little of the load as the customer has budget for. Generally speaking, order fulfillment can be tailored to a given need. A light service package example: excel sheet of individual customers is provided for a "blast" (all books shipped at the same time) shipping through USPS Priority (tracked) mail from $6.00 to $12.00 per address - including actual shipping costs. Customer defined packages will be quoted, but basic per address service fee may be as low as $1.00 per mailed item. Gregath can warehouse all stock, take orders, ship, etc. but this type of service is ongoing, thus the charges are as well.
