With payment due 30 days from statement date, the customer's payment is due an average of 45 days from invoice (30-59 days). Ingram reserves the right to assess a late charge on all past due invoices.

discounts are competitive, they reflect our desire to complete a library's
order. Put simply, Midwest Library Service's paramount goal is to make every
effort possible to fulfill our customers' orders in their entirety. A
nominal service charge is added to net titles, special orders, and some
short discount titles and titles requiring prepayment.
Midwest Library Service has been providing out of print titles for more
than 20 years. We allow a short window of time to locate and acquire an out
of print title that meets our strict standards for condition and price.
Midwest Library Service does not charge any annual acquisition fees, and
we can also provide a broad range of physical processing services to your
specifications. A few examples include:
- Mylar Jackets
- Spine/pocket labels
- Barcode label application
- Label protectors
- TattleTape security
- Full MARC records Paperback binding
- and more
Orders are accepted by all methods, including via InterACQ, EDI, email,
mail, fax, phone, etc. Midwest Library Service supports multiple account
numbers per library and can automatically assign account numbers based on
purchase order or fund numbers. Our invoices are completely customizable to
meet the needs of the district and each branch. If desired by the library,
shelf-ready books can be sent directly to individual branches with packing
lists.
Freight terms include waived shipping fees with a yearly commitment of at
least $10,000 in expenditures.
