Company that drop ships DVD CD's & Booklet Package
Hello,
Firstly...Hi and this book has changed my life I am developing my information package. Tim Ferris mentions in his book about creating an information product with a few items such as a DVD, couple of CD's (maybe an audio book), a booklet, study guide, etc. Great idea. But does anyone know of a good company that does the lot! IE duplicate the DVD, duplicate the CD's, POD the CD and DVD covers, POD the booklet(s), then drop ship in US and internationally. I would like to use one company to do the whole lot, even if the price is more expensive. That's my idea of serious automation whilst I'm surfing here in Australia Any help would be most appreciated Cheers mattrix

Welcome to the board.
Just have to jump in and stomp that first post here (I would have apologized, but I am not really sorry, and it is for your own benefit). You asked for advice, here it is: You need to focus on sales. You need to focus on marketing. You need to focus on a quality product. There aren't any companies that do your work for you. Not surprisingly, the 4HWW life style takes a hell of a lot of work to set up. You really don't think it is as easy as just asking someone to prepare a DVD package, book, 'maybe an audio book', and ship it for you in the process do you? You need to have a product first, don't put the carriage before the horse here. A while back that service was actually quoted on a thread here at the 4HWW forums. I couldn't find it though, but I believe I quoted a price of $15,000 per unit. Some others low balled me and offered prices ranging from $6,000-$10,000 per unit though. Yep, $15,000 will buy you some serious automation.

You can use these guys:
http://www.dvd-fulfillment.com I was going to use them but I decided to move into 100% digital for starters, and only ship product if my customers prefer that (later stage). The interface they have at dvd fulfillment looks good and when I priced out a 3-CD product with plastic case, shrink wrap, etc, it was about $12 or so per unit. Burned, printed and shipped. I think the previous poster misundersood you and thought you wanted somebody to CREATE your product. That said I still agree you need to have your product idea first, and test the market ... don't even worry about implementation until you know the idea works.

They do not handle anything other than dropshipping. If you are looking for catalog support, amazon inclusion, etc. you can consider LuLu.com (available at http://lulu.com)

Thanks
Yeah thanks guys
I think kamakiri should maybe read the posts more carefully before they expend so much energy into a belittling a guy (me) who is a actually a web designer, product designer, and who is already established online, makijng $$$ online and with a new product (4 years R&D and development) to be released. Thanks for the great lead. I have since checked out CreateSpace, Kunaki, LuLu (thanks again), CafePress (they're fun and do CD data and Audio as well now), and a few other smaller companies. Kunaki seems to be the best so far. I have ordered some products to test their print and data duplication. $1.75 per CD. Not bad. I have integrated their XML service into my website and am in the testing process. I will let you know how I go with http://www.dvd-fulfillment.com/ Thanks again Matthew

So Far
None of them because they can print the stuff, but none of them offer a service where you can package booklet (s), CD/DVD together as one product.
I'm still researching but so far both Kunai and Cafe Press have been brilliant as far as products go. So you'll have to make 2-3 products, order them, package them at home..blah blah..too much work. I have not done any work yet with LuLu But...Kunkai (The CD/DVD "vending machine") sent me a pro looking disc and cover, full color RGB print, with perfect data in 6 days (USA to Australia). The XML feature is very nice too if you want integrate payment in your website and have money in the bank via PayPal, rather than them sending you a check. But they don't do POD printing for booklets or package stuff together. So...to solve that, I made all my material digital (Ebook bookley, ebook outlone, MP3 audio book), and used Kunaki to produce them. I got the XML script from DiscBuddy, and away we go! Hope this helps Last edited by mattrix; 10-25-2008 at 07:53 AM.

I tried to download the Kunaki software but the first computer failed to launch it once it was supposedly downloaded, the second computer said it could not read the image, the third computer showed gobbledygook because it thought it was text. On the second two computers there was no option to run a program only to open a file. DOH!
