[CASL-L] Follett Frustration

[Lisa Polack]

I love Ingram!!!
I can’t say enough good things about the company. Easy to set up accounts, easy to order, books arrive super fast (sometimes just a fee days!), and you can easily see what is in stock.  I ordered very little from Follett last year and mostly from Ingram.

They might be in the same situation but last school year, they were pretty quick with a high fill rate and abut 12-15% cheaper.

I need the processing because I do have any clerical help and our district is not allowing volunteers.  I am happy to catalogue, cover, and label the occasional title but I cannot manage large orders in a timely fashion.  We are CLC members.  Thanks in advance!
