We also use HF Group out of their Ohio location.  Unfortunately, they have notified us the Ohio location is shutting down and we will be serviced out of Indiana.  As far as I know they are still going to pick up and drop off but on a different schedule.  I guess we will see how this goes.

 

Thanks

Mark

Our contract with HF Group requires our shipments to be of a minimum size before  they will pick It up.  If it doesn’t meet the minimum, then we are required to ship the volumes ourselves, which we have not done.  There aren’t a lot of commercial binderies that accommodate libraries anymore.

Hello,

 

We usually bind around 60 volumes a year.  The bindery HF Group used to pick up and return our serials by truck, but now they are requiring us to mail.  I am sure the shipping will be a large percentage of our budget.

 

Has anyone else experienced this situation?  What bindery do you use?  We are located in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  Maybe we'll have to bind a smaller amount.

 

Thank you for your help.
