Leading online college bookstore increases inventory
five times and lowers prices for Fall rush.
LEXINGTON, KY - 13 August 2002 - In the world of online
bookstores, in-stock means fast delivery. Boasting a $10,000,000 in-stock
inventory of new and used textbooks, leading online book seller eCampus.com
is poised to ship every book possible on the same day it is ordered. As
America`s 15,000,000 students prepare to return to campus, eCampus is
prepared to provide them tremendous savings on their textbooks and same-day
shipping.
"We manage one of the fastest, most sophisticated textbook
fulfillment networks in America," says eCampus.com CEO Matt Montgomery. "It
enables us to provide our customers the fastest delivery possible. An
in-stock textbook ordered from eCampus by noon will ship the same business
day and all in-stock selections ship within a 24-hour period." Because of
eCampus` free USPS shipping policy on orders over $69, customers are likely
to pay no shipping costs at all if they plan ahead.
Stacked on top of each other the eCampus "mountain of books"
would be 28,125 feet high, coming within 910 feet of the summit of Mt.
Everest. It would be taller than sixteen Sears Towers.
Sales history shows that students will select a used book
over a new one 90% of the time. After starting last fall`s book rush with a
$2,000,000 inventory, eCampus set out to build a mountain of the most
popular textbooks and offer them at huge savings. Aided by its extremely
aggressive online buyback program eCampus has been able to stockpile a
record number of used books in preparation for students` return to America`s
approximately 4,500 colleges and universities.
Students buying their books from eCampus not only save
substantially off the prices offered at traditional campus bookstores, but
most will have the book by their next class meeting. One of the nation`s
largest online booksellers, eCampus has added over 20,000 used titles alone
and lowered prices on almost every top-selling textbook.
Says Montgomery, "We work everyday to live up to our goal of
being the easiest, fastest, cheapest way for students to buy textbooks."
Launched in 1999, eCampus is already one of the largest online textbook
sellers and operates the nation`s most sophisticated online used textbook
buyback program.
