And the other one&#8217;s email program wasn&#8217;t reading the auto-generated 1ShoppingCart email notices correctly (can you believe that?)<\/p>\n<p>Not good at all.<\/p>\n<p>And just one big headache.<\/p>\n<p>But the company I use now at the above link does everything &#8212; print, ship, fulfill, willing to auto-pull orders from the shopping cart (no extra charge &#8211; although I just let 1SC email them the notifications now) &#8212; and even sends me a daily printout of all my customers along with their tracking numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Even better:<\/p>\n<p>They send tracking info directly to me AND the customer.<\/p>\n<p>(Unless it&#8217;s USPS, whose tracking is worthless anyway.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m extremely paranoid about product deliverability.<\/p>\n<p>So this was huge for me.<\/p>\n<p>And, to top it off, their prices are lower than the others.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, bottom line?<\/p>\n<p>I do less &#8220;thinking&#8221; than if I was digitally delivering everything because I don&#8217;t have any tech crap to deal with. In fact, I don&#8217;t do any &#8220;thinking&#8221; at all. If something comes up, I email Michelle (the &#8220;super woman&#8221; there who deals with all the fulfillment, etc, and is just &#8220;on&#8221; everything like white on rice &#8212; only thing she&#8217;s missing is a cape&#8230;) and it&#8217;s taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>So I highly suggest checking them out.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get any &#8220;kickbacks&#8221; for referring them.<\/p>\n<p>I just know they&#8217;ll take care of ya.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.SelbyMarketing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.SelbyMarketing.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little &#8220;public service announcement&#8221;: Recently, one of my Email Players subscribers asked what printer\/fulfillment house I use for physical products.
