Hi Bill,
Agree with everything Julie says. We've received ~900 approval orders from them so far this FY, generally via 1 or 2 shipments per month. They aren't providing EDI invoicing, but we're on Alma and use their records to create invoices via API<https://wiki.harvard.edu/confluence/x/JlzRDg>.

We have used them for years. Our Acquisitions Coordinator says the following:
They are dependable, organized, they supply our material on time always within the fiscal year deadlines. Their Marc records are more than just place holders, they are basically MC records with subject headings.
Every time they send us a shipment, we get an email with shipping information and copies of the invoices attached. The rep is very responsive.
Julie

You don't often get email from william.verner@duke.edu<mailto:william.verner@duke.edu>. Learn why this is important<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aka.ms_LearnAboutSenderIdentification&d=DwMF-g&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=ojacaOH-H-O7Dswgv5u3TRD2g13BZfv6GByra4kfXO0&m=ZlWt1cY4YsQdR7_15lD_jQTwip5T_EM-KyLdXI0O5jWm3ieP6S0xidvnsKj_xoVp&s=NHhH7AIw28OwfmRHJ_O48LCyhc6q9Hg-fstoqXYJt6c&e=>
Hello,
We are encountering some recurring issues with our current provider of books from Mexican publishers, and I am taking a close look at Books from Mexico.
Could anyone give me the straight dope on working with BFM? I'm interested in quality & frequency of shipments, invoicing capacity, and vendor records (for those who use them).
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Best,
Bill Verner
