Because we seek to help as many theological schools as possible receive books from any shipment, we usually ask for schools to cooperate or partner together to facilitate a larger shipment. Please list other theological schools nearby that you might be able to partner with to receive books. If names, contacts, Email and Mobile # is not available, please type "NONE" in the line.

Hosting a shipment:

Each shipment is hosted by an institution or school in the network. The host institution receives additional books in return for their administrative help.

In order to become a host, the host institution must meet the the following requirements :

A clean, dry, secure space to receive and store the shipment before distribution to the network (may be for several weeks or months)
Available personnel, equipment and facilities to physically handle the shipment
Ability and willingness to communicate with other schools/institutions which may want to become a part of the network.
An individual who is available to take care of the administrative tasks of handling paperwork, working with a customs broker, contacting other institutions when books have been received, etc. and providing a follow up report after the shipment has been distributed.
Financial resources to cover any costs associated with inland freight, duties, etc.

These costs can be recovered in an equitable manner from the partner institutions at the time of distribution.
