Establish Global Interaction

Although our facilities are based in the United States and the United Kingdom, our business domain is global.

Electronic Routing
Two orders arrive simultaneously for the same title: one going to Holland; the other going to Canada. To speed delivery and reduce shipping costs, the Holland order is automatically routed through our Milton Keynes operation in the UK while the book for the Canadian customer is printed and shipped from our Allentown, Pennsylvania, facility. And this process is repeated seamlessly and flawlessly thousands of times each day.

Import/Export Solutions
Publishers in the US or UK who desire to expand their borders can do so easily with Lightning Source. We make it easy to “cross the pond” and distribute books effectively…without expensive and unwieldy transatlantic shipping.

For publishers in other countries seeking a better way to sell books to resellers in the US or UK, Lightning Source is the ideal solution. We can produce and ship your books without the expense and complications of getting physical inventory across borders. We pay you in US dollars or British pounds sterling at the list price less discount and printing charges. You pay no handling or shipping charges.
