specialized services and testimonials

Borders Business & Educator Services has a number of specialized services to offer. Some of these include:

• Recommendations—Borders Sales Account Managers are experienced booksellers. They can provide you with suggestions ranging from the best new business title for your field or industry to the right titles to have in a classroom library. Often we can provide advanced reading copies of new titles for your perusal.


• Research and Title Lists—When there is a particular topic or range of topics for which you need books but you don't know of any specific titles; our account managers can create a list of titles to suit your needs.


• Price quotes—Accurate, detailed lists that show not only your cost, but also the retail cost of the product you wish to purchase—providing you the opportunity to make educated buying decisions.


• Free delivery for orders over $5000. We also offer competitive corporate shipping rates.


• Various Educational and Library Services—Prebound books, Mylar book cover jackets for hardcover books, Kapco Easy Cover II adhesive book covers for paperback books, educational DVDs and audio books from Schlessinger media, and Spanish language books.


• Other services include: free gift wrapping for corporate gift giving, new and upcoming title presentations, and even hosting a special event for your company in our in-store cafes.

It is the goal of Borders Business & Educator Services to be more than just a group of sales representatives. We want to become a resource that our customers can depend on by consistently offering personalized service and superior value on business, work, and/or classroom-related merchandise.

A testimonial from a satisfied Borders Business & Educator Services customer:
In my job as the Coordinator of Humanities at Akiba, I have 12 teachers who all seem to need books at the last minute. There is no request that Sales Representative Liz Chang does not fill, and fill immediately. Most importantly, there is no request too small. I so appreciate her responsiveness and sense of responsibility. I believe that, based on my recommendation of Liz, our Middle School Core department and our library will be changing vendors to Borders in Wynnewood.
