Buying Used Textbooks from Ingram
You already know you can search and order new text and trade books on ipage, and
beginning July 2014 you can also find and purchase used textbooks. Search by title,
ISBN, author, etc. just like with new titles and look for the Used Textbook icon. Order
used textbooks along with new books to be eligible for free freight.
In addition to ipage, there are several ways by which you can place used textbook
orders with Ingram, see the “Tools You Can Use” section below.
New Account Requirements
All new accounts may be required to present a tax resale number in order to open an
account. All invoices and account statements are administered through ipage®—
Ingram’s online title search, ordering, and account management tool—therefore, all new
accounts must subscribe to ipage, which is FREE.
Choosing Used Textbook Terms
Whether you’re establishing a new account or activating an existing account, working
with an Ingram Sales Representative you may choose from three competitive pricing
options. The used terms you choose will be flagged in our system and be reflected in
your purchase price displayed on ipage.
Used Book Conditions
Ingram has processes to ensure the inventory we sell is in “Good” or better used
condition. Good condition is a measure of the quality of the cover, binding and pages of
the physical book. Good condition denotes minor to moderate severity of the book’s
wear and tear. The used textbooks ordered from Ingram should not contain any of the
condition attributes listed as “Unacceptable” in the Buyback Condition section.
Otherwise, used textbooks from Ingram may include wear and minor to moderate
damage to the cover and text.
Purchase/Wantlist Discount Terms
1.) 50% of list (or 50% off list) discount applied to Used Textbooks, 20% returns limit.
• The default price setting of used textbooks purchased on ipage is 50% of
(or 50% off) list price
• If you would like to change your account to either of the two discount
options below, please contact your Ingram representative. Terms of sale
agreements require a one year commitment unless otherwise stated.
2.) 45% of list (or 55% off list) discount applied to Used Textbooks, 10% returns limit.
3.) Dynamic Pricing, all used textbooks are non-returnable.
• Dynamic pricing offers you the most up to date pricing
• Ordering with dynamic pricing is available through many, but not all, of the
typical ordering systems customers use with Ingram. In all, customers can
use ipage as an ordering method for used textbooks
13 | P a g e Ingram Used Textbook Business Guide
•
Ingram also makes available updated stock files every four hours with
current dynamic pricing and provides electronic ordering methods for
system-to system ordering as an option to our customers with advanced
needs and capabilities
Ordering Tools
Many of the tools you use to order new books are the same tools you use to buy used
textbooks. Here are the typical ways buyers order used textbooks from Ingram.

books in one shipment, select one of the combining order types. To have new and used
books delivered in separate shipments use a non-combining order type.
Used Textbooks Returns
Depending on the Pricing Terms of Sale (TOS) that you chose for your used book
ordering, your store has specific return allowances. Returns of used textbooks are
processed in the TN facility only at 22 Ingram Blvd. LaVergne TN, 37086.
Used returns sent to other Ingram facilities will not be received for credit or returned.
Our Hassle-Free Returns system is available to handle Ingram mis-ships or carrier
damages. The customer may use the Hassle-Free form on the back of the packing slip
without prior authorization. If mis-ship or carrier damage is a carton or more please
contact usedtextbooks@ingramcontent.com for appropriate arrangements and claims.
Customers have ten (10) business days upon receipt to notify customer care of any
Hassle-Free items.
If the book is being returned due to not meeting the condition standard of “Good,” prior
authorization is required or the product will be rejected at customer expense. Customers
have ten (10) business days, upon receipt, to notify customer care of book condition
problem items.
All other used returns will be processed as overstock/seasonal returns according to your
store's seasonal sales history. If your TOS has return allowances, your overstock
returns must be processed by the Textbook Return Center (La Vergne, TN) before the
season schedule date below:

Freight Terms & Shipping
Used textbooks qualify for Ingram’s standard freight terms and can combine with new
books for free freight eligibility.
Shipments of 15 or more units from your primary distribution center or from your
secondary distribution center qualify for free freight. Shipments of less than 15 units will
be charged a flat $5.00 shipping fee. All shipments will incur a $2.25 fuel surcharge
fee*. You are responsible for freight on orders that ship from DCs other than your
assigned primary and secondary DC pair and/or where you override the Ingramassigned shipping instructions.
*this amount is subject to change due to fluctuations in fuel prices.
In order to qualify for free freight, Ingram will determine the best shipping method for
your location. If you specify a different shipping preference, you will be responsible for
all freight costs.
We cannot be liable for lost or damaged shipments that you request be sent through the
United States Postal Service, unless you ask us to insure the order (for which we will
charge your account).
Ingram will assign the best strategically located Distribution Center as your primary
warehouse. Typically, your secondary DC is La Vergne, TN. If you have La Vergne, TN
as your primary DC, the secondary DC is the next closest in the Ingram network. All
used textbooks will ship from the La Vergne, TN DC.

Payment Terms
While publishers often set payment due dates for each invoice date, Ingram’s terms are
calculated on statement date at the end of each month. With payment due 30 days from
statement date, your payment is due an average of 45 days from invoice (30-59 days).
Paying by Check
Note the remittance address is located on the invoices and statements. Please include
your account number on your check and enclose a detailed remittance of what is being
paid.. The NET amount is due 30 days from statement date. Please be advised that
Ingram does not automatically apply credit memos to unpaid invoices but can
accommodate by customer request. Ingram reserves the right to apply unused credits if
invoices age more than 31 days beyond terms. In addition, payment terms and/or credit
limits may be adjusted without prior notice based on payment trends.
Paying by Credit Card
Ingram offers an automated credit card payment program. If electing this payment type,
no cash discount is granted. Your credit card will be authorized and subsequently
charged with each order placed.
Electronic Payment
If paying by ipage or automated bank draft, Ingram offers a 1% cash discount on
payments made within 25 days of statement date. The NET amount is due 30 days from
statement date. To pay electronically, complete the authorization form included in this
packet, and return it to Ingram.
Discrepancies
Invoice discrepancies must be reported to Ingram within 30 days of invoice date unless
the product is defective. All discrepancy reports must include an invoice number and
date of invoice. Discrepancies reported after 30 days from invoice date will not be
adjusted. We will not accept handling fee or penalty chargebacks.
17 | P a g e Ingram Used Textbook Business Guide
Late Interest Charges
Late interest charges accrue at 18% per annum on all invoices not paid within stated
terms. Having past due invoices may also result in a delay of shipping new orders.
Withholding payment due in anticipation of credit memos for returned inventory is
unacceptable. Ingram reserves the right to hold or cancel new orders on customer
accounts with past due balances. Ingram’s credit department will contact you if an order
has been delayed or held. If you are having problems meeting your financial obligations,
call your Ingram credit representative to discuss possible alternative payment
arrangements.
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) Checks
If we receive notification of a non-sufficient funds check returned by the bank, the
account will be placed on immediate credit hold. All returned checks are presented
twice through the bank before this action occurs. In addition, a $25.00 NSF check fee is
assessed to your account when a check is returned. Replacement funds to cover the
check and fee must be made via certified funds before the account is reopened for
ordering.
Collections and Legal Fees
Failure to resolve past-due balances in a timely manner may result in your account
being forwarded to a third-party collection agency or an attorney. Should this occur, you
are responsible for all related collection and/or attorney fees.
You will incur a deficit balance upon failure to pay, within thirty (30) days EOM, any
statement provided by Ingram. In the event you fail to pay such deficit within five (5)
business days after receiving notice from Ingram, Ingram reserves the right to place a
payment hold on any Ingram account until such time as your account is in a positive
balance. We reserve the right, and you hereby agree, to allow Ingram to retain any
funds then owed to you by Ingram if your account remains in a deficit for longer than
sixty (60) days and apply such funds to credit the deficit Ingram.
Change of Ownership and Closing Procedures
Please notify Ingram’s credit department when closing or selling your store. Failure to
do so could result in extending your financial obligations beyond the change in
ownership or closure. Ingram may also request a copy of your bulk sale transfer
agreement when selling your store. Remember to inquire about cancellation of
subscription plans and any not-yet-shipped Bin and Hold orders.
Please note that Ingram does not have a buy-back policy on closing store inventory. If
excess inventory is returned, penalties up to 65% off retail may be incurred, or product
may be refused. Assuming that overstock percentage is less than 10%, the customer
may elect to return enough inventory to settle the final balance owed. This should be
18 | P a g e Ingram Used Textbook Business Guide
discussed with Ingram’s Credit Department.
If a store closing occurs within 12 months of opening, and the customer wishes to utilize
returns to offset open invoices, additional penalties may be incurred. Payment of all
outstanding invoices is due within 10 days of closing or sale of store.
Ingram Credit Department
A credit representative will be assigned to your account to assist with questions
regarding payment of invoices or your monthly statement. Your representative may ask
you to periodically complete an updated trade application and submit financial
statements in order to keep our records current. Ingram holds all financial statements in
the strictest confidence. To reach Credit, call (800) 937-8100 and listen for the prompt.
