As stated in an earlier blog, drop shipments are not for everyone. It really needs to make sense for a drop shipment to be cost effective. When we do a drop shipment, we process and address the mailing as we normally do, except after it’s verified at the post office, we bring it back to our facility. We have a relationship with a freight service that only handles drop shipments. We prepare the mailing for them and then arrange for them to transport it to the appropriate post office.
About Me
My name is Melissa Bradshaw and I’m the Sr. Vice President over Operations at PostcardMania. I've always been interested in advertising and marketing and through my experience have sort of become the go-to gal for direct mail and mailing questions.
I know that mailings can sometimes be a confusing subject, so I will be posting blogs, tips and other information to clarify this for you.
I worked my way up the ranks – starting out actually doing the mailings myself (yup – running the machines) and have been here since 1998, so I can definitely answer all of your questions about anything to do with mailing.
