Our small independent record label (home-based) has finally reached the point where packaging and mailing our product is no longer viable due to the time it takes. However, we still only ship out 2 or 3 orders per week, each one averaging 2 CDs in box mailers.

I've perused the posts on this forum but couldn't really find an answer, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Either of 3 methods would work for us.

1. We package the orders still, but never leave the house. Someone would pick up the order and mail it. We live in one of those neighborhoods with the common mail hutches a half-mile away, so no postal worker comes by the house regularly. Currently we have to drive our orders to toe Post Office.

2. A 3rd party maintains a small inventory, and ships our orders. We could still handle the paperwork and web orders (PayPal shopping cart), but we would e-mail orders once or twice a week to this 3rd party, and they would package and ship the CDs.

Thanks!
