These orders are considered completely separate from primary and secondary orders. Alternate warehouse orders cannot combine with primary and secondary for freight or discount, even if placed the same day. Greenlight titles are short discount titles stocked in your superwarehouse. Greenlight orders may be placed with your regular Ingram order, or as an alternate warehouse order. If placed with a regular Ingram order, Greenlight titles will count toward the total number of units ordered for discounting and freight calculation on regularly stocked titles.
Publishers often limit our quantity of high-demand titles to our actual customer backorders.
When placing your order, indicate the titles you want to backorder. Backorders for new release titles for which we receive insufficient stock will be cancelled 60 days after we receive our initial shipment. When we receive backordered titles, we ship them to you along with your next combining order or after 15 days, whichever comes first. We also send you a monthly backorder status report that lists titles remaining on backorder for you. Backorder shipments will ship according to your standard shipping instructions.
