Description
Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: Ongoing
A reputable publishing company seeks a UK based person who is VERY reliable to ship out books to our customers in UK, Europe and Africa.
You will have to keep no more than 10-20 books safe in your possession at a time which you will ship to customers who ordered them. We already have distribution for USA and Asia. These books are for special order autographs by the author and that's why they cannot be sent from our standard warehouse.
From experience, there's *rarely* more than 10 books or so to send a month. It happens at times there may be a few more but never more than 20 from the past experience.
We will naturally pay any postage costs for shipping the books to customers
Duties:
- package the books to individual customers according to our training
- research shipping/postage fees with Royal Mail
- check for shipping and tracking information to ensure books arrive
- fill out a confirmation for each book you send (including a 20 second video on your phone)
- write the message required into the book based on the customer's request
- very light shipping coordination support (training provided)
You need:
- Great hand-writing
- Reliability and excellent communication/time-keeping
- Professionalism
- Ability to take instructions (training provided it must be done a certain way)
- Very approachable attitude
- Admin skills and experience
- Ability to get to the post office once a week
We have pretty low volumes at the moment and don't expect the shipping requirements to exceed 10-20 books a week for you to ship.
If you genuinely believe you would be a great fit to work with us, please apply by telling me more about yourself, why you want this role, and tell me the color of the ocean first in the cover letter to prove you've read the job spec fully.
Naturally all out of pocket expenses will be covered by us for postage, packaging etc. Because we are giving you inventory you will be responsible for keeping it safe and in a salable condition. Any damages to the inventory will have to be paid for by you. I say this now because we don't know YOU and the risk is squarely in our court by sending inventory to an unknown freelancer. This is a ongoing contract and we hope for a long term relationship with the freelancer appointed.
Are you the person we're looking for? Apply today and we'll see :-)
