Public Libraries and Friends Organizations: Overview
With B-Logistics' online sales program your public library or Friends organization can solve the age-old problem of what to do with weeded library materials and items donated from the community. B-Logistics' program for library discards and donations gives you turnkey access to all of the leading online marketplaces, with none of the investment in the software, staffing and space required to administer a successful online sales program.
The B-Logistics online sales program can supplement or replace your traditional community book sales. Because so many books will never find a buyer in your local marketplace, the B-Logistics program helps you expand the reach of your existing bookstore and Friends sales by putting your materials in front of hundreds of millions of shoppers outside your local community.
The program is simple. You select and ship weeded and donated materials to our Denver distribution facility. We'll help you select items most likely to sell, and we'll even coordinate and pre-pay the freight for qualified shipments.
We'll screen your items for salability, enter them into our database, and upload them for sale at competitive prices to all the leading online marketplaces (including Amazon, eBay, Half, Abebooks, Alibris, Barnes & Noble and blogistics.com, among others). Custom software allows us to maintain competitive pricing on all the sites even as the marketplace changes minute by minute.
When your items sell, we pick, pack and ship all the orders, generally within one day. We handle all the payment processing and customer service associated with your online orders.
Each month you'll get a detailed activity report and checks for your share of the proceeds so you can track your results.
Your items will remain listed for sale for 3-5 months. Any items that don't sell within that period are either offered for donation to one of our non-profit literacy partners or are recycled into paper pulp or insulation. Nothing ever goes to the landfill, and nothing ever comes back to haunt you!
