[mandy]

Press release:

Shipwire.com today announced at the DEMO 07 conference a service for online merchants to easily and quickly outsource the entire process of receiving, warehousing and shipping merchandise. Shipwire.com offers quick set-up and “hands-off” administration, enabling someone without training to configure an account and have it fully operational in less than 15 minutes. Afterwards, it is simply a matter of sending merchandise in bulk to Shipwire.com, customers shopping on the merchant’s Website, and Shipwire.com packing and shipping each order.

With plans starting at $29.95 a month, Shipwire.com is aimed at small businesses that sell merchandise online. It is set apart from other offerings by its national warehouse network, simple bundled pricing, and an open developer network. Signup takes just a few clicks, and merchants can manage inventory and fulfillment online. More than 30,000 online stores already have Shipwire technology built into their operations...

Wow. :blinkie:

This would not work for myself, nor be profitable for me, but could work well for many other small businesses.
I might have to look at another business where this could work for me.

Shipwire is integrated into several carts, and it integrates with many others if you use Stone Edge order manager.
