Thoughts on drop shipping albums directly to clients

9 years 1 week ago #435629 by Carry
Any of you drop shipping albums directly to the client?  I'd like to see if there any issues you have ran into going this route.  I like the idea, but not if it has a 'lazy' or any other negative thought from the client.  Meeting up with the client to simply hand off the album is great, however if I can safe some time and money on reshipping, this too would be great. 

I'm hopping to get some feedback from both sides here.

Well how long have you been dealing with the album company?  Are they reliable?  Have they ever screwed up?  Depending on the answers to those questions will determine my answer.

If you have a good relationship with the printing company and have history with them.  Go for it.  I wouldn't drop ship directly to client with a new and unknown album company.

That Zookbinders looks like a new company.  What experience do you have with them?
