A method of processing book orders. A vendor establishes a plurality of distribution centers located in different parts of the world, as well as a receiving center. A plurality of customers places book orders. The vendor receives the book orders and sorts them by book sellers. After sorting, the vendor creates aggregated orders and places them with the corresponding book sellers. This provides savings on shipping costs because a publisher or a wholesaler would ship large quantities of books rather than shipping books individually. The aggregated orders are received at the receiving center and sorted by the distribution centers corresponding to the book orders, creating bulk shipments. The bulk shipments are then shipped to the corresponding distribution centers. This provides savings on shipping costs because books are shipped from the receiving center to the distribution centers in large quantities rather than shipping books individually. The book orders are then shipped from the distribution centers to the individual customers.
