What are the requirements for incoming stock?
The inventory sent in must have a scannable bar code for bookstores (Bookland EAN bar code). It is also required that the ISBN be printed on the back of the book and a price be printed on the jacket also. Cartons must have publisher name, title, ISBN, carton quantity and US price marked on each carton. Books must also be in saleable condition when we receive them. Our warehouse staff is trained to recognize the conditions that are unacceptable to our bookstore accounts. What are the incoming shipment requirements? We need a packing list for all shipments. This packing list can come with the shipment or can be sent ahead of time. You can either fax it to 717-794-3828 or use the on line form which was created to notify us of an incoming shipment. If the cartons are coming any way but truck — UPS, FedEx or US Postal Service, each carton must have a green label which says “New Books Receiving” on it. These cartons come into a different area of the warehouse, along with a lot of other ship
