MNU Bookstore announces new partnership with onlinebookseller MBS Direct

MBS currently serves the needs of nearly half a million students nationwide with over 7 million books in their Columbia, Missouri facility.

  • Fast shipping! Ships within 24 hours for pickup at the MNU Bookstore or to one’s home
  • Multiple payment options

  • Guaranteed buyback program on select top-selling titles
  • On-campus buyback at the end of both semesters
  • Online buyback available everyday (except during on-campus buyback periods)
  • Excellent customer service by phone or email

The MBS Direct program ensures course materials will be available when academic terms begin. According to MNU Bookstore manager, Julie Harbour, MBS provides convenient ordering, accurate and timely fulfillment, and better overall service.

“In addition, MBS Direct will help us continue our compliance with changes to the Higher Education Opportunity Act which go into effect July 1, 2010,” Harbour says. “The HEOA Act enables students to view course material information in a timely manner, helping them better manage their costs.”
