I would definitely recommend Ingram. Large orders come in about a week and
the prices are competitive with Amazon. They also put mylar covers on your
hardcovers. The only shortcoming is that they often don't have books older
than about five years old, so sometimes for older titles, I still use
Amazon.

I use Ingram to purchase all of our books and they arrive just as fast as
Amazon purchases. The only contact I have for them is Kimberly Groom (
Kimberly.Groom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), who is an inside sales rep. She could
probably put you into contact with the right person.

I haven't tried Tiitlewave yet, but tell me it would take 4 weeks without
processing and 7 weeks with processing. I am going to use Books Inc. for
small orders needed quickly and will try Follet for bulk orders.

Hi Tiffani,
I used Ingram back in my public library days. Don’t remember having any
issues. Titlewave, on the other hand, has been *terrible* with shipping
dates. We often use Amazon or B&N in a pinch, but those aren’t the best for
bulk orders.

*Subject: *[baisl] Ingram Contact/Follet Alternative?
Hi everyone,
I ordered about 12 books from Follet at the beginning of March and they
still haven't shipped, so I'm going to need a new vendor for the bulk
purchasing I intend to do over the summer.
I have heard Ingram has similar features to Titlewave in terms of
requesting curated lists and having things like diversity tools built in,
but so far I have not been able to actually have a conversation with anyone
there.
Does anyone have a contact there I could reach out to? Alternatively, do
you have another vendor you would recommend?
Thanks,
Tiffani
