Drop Ship Your Trades

One of our customers orders FAX CDs and routinely has them shipped to different people/addresses. Turns out he is doing trades with these people, so I offered to send the orders without an invoice, and list his address as the return address instead of ours. This process is called "drop shipping," and it's quite common in this and other businesses. It's quite easy for us to do that as we are using a computer-based postage printing system, and I simply entered this customer as one of the possible return addresses. We exist to sell music, and we're more than willing to be creative about how we do it!

It's possibly of limited value to many of you because we don't tend to keep most things in stock and it will only work well for you to set up a trade for something we have in stock (e.g., FAX CDs), but I thought it was worth mentioning so you know you have that option.

If you're interested in having us do this for you, just indicate in the comments section of your order that you'd like it drop shipped and we'll take it from there.
