Understanding Alibris Order Types and Packing Slips

When you sell on Alibris, items sell through a wide variety of channels that may require special packaging and shipping methods. Just as Alibris has different sales channels, it also has different order types:

Each of the order types has special processing instructions that are covered below. In addition, the following information applies to all order types:

For complete shipping requirements for each order type, see the Alibris website.

Orders that ship directly to customers

For an order that ships directly to a customer, the customer's name displays in the Buyer Name box on the Orders tab. When you print a packing slip for this order type, Monsoon Marketplace prints the customer's complete shipping address on a packing slip that's branded for the source market (where your customer placed the order).

To comply with market requirements, Monsoon Marketplace does not print cost information on Alibris and Alibris partner packing slips.
