Default How to get all the pieces of your product together

Hey guys!

First time posting to the forum!

I have a question... I've got an idea for a product and I am looking to package a few different items into the final product. If I'm having different manufactures create different pieces of the product for me, how do I get them into one box and out to the customer?

Thanks!

If it is not a big deal if your client recieves them individually, then have them drop shipped from the manufactor. If you want them to recieve everything all at once in a single package, then that would be you to start.

Maybe try to do the first 25 packages yourself, then when you get up to 5 - 10 a week look at a fulfillment center. Then the center can order a small supply of each from the different manufactories on your behalf, package them together, take the orders and ship the whole product together.

The fullfilment centers do charge for this service, but remeber the idea is to have your business or muse as hands free as possible.
