What is Print On Demand?

Print On Demand (POD) prints books individually or in small batches as needed, with direct shipping from our printers within about two weeks. Please be aware that our website does not distinguish between POD and in-stock products.

How can I identify a Print On Demand title in my order?

Informational text related to the product line will appear on the invoice, indicating either "Product will be supplied within 2 weeks" or "Shipping separately within two weeks", as illustrated in the examples below:

Print On Demand order packaging

Print On Demand orders are shipped directly from the printer to the customer. The packaging may not display Sage branding. A delivery note will include the Sage invoice number for reference. Customers are invoiced by Sage. Any expenses listed on the printer's paperwork do not require payment.
