What Our Clients Say About World Buying Service
“World Buying Service (WBS) has been an excellent partner for the American Printing House for the Blind (APB).
Most of the products sourced for APH are "one of a kind" and small volume. The commitment WBS makes to serving APH and the blind and visually impaired students ofour country, speaks to the kind of Company WBS is. They invest a significant amount of time and resources to insure our products are of high quality, and meet our unique specifications, and do so knowing our volumes will always be small and their potential financial gain is limited."
