When you first set up your business and decided that you were going to sell things to customers, you probably started thinking about the costs that were going to have to go into a store. You will have to find the location and build it, hire employees and manage them. You will have to make sure that the profits that you make from the sales cover all of the expenses of the operations, and you are going to have to make that happen with sales from a drive-up area. If all of that seemed difficult to manage, you probably started looking into online sales. No store setup beyond a website and an ability to sell to the whole world seemed great. You would be able to process the orders and ship them out from your house or from a small rented room. While this type of business setup was hassle free, it also didn’t take into consideration what would happen if the business grew. If you have more sales than you can process yourself, or if you would just like that spare room back in your house, you are going to have to look into renting a warehouse and hiring employees. But wasn’t that exactly what you were trying to avoid in the first place? What if you predict sales wrong and now have a big bill to cover that you can’t afford? What if you get a warehouse too small and are stuck with it for years? Isn’t there a better solution? http://blog.needmyservice.com/let-someone-else-do-your-fulfillment/
