I did all the shipping for a long time myself but you are totally right about switching to a fulfillment center. When I started I was fulfilling all the orders myself and everything was fine but when I got some traction it really got unmanageable. Looking for a decently priced fulfillment company was tedious to say the least. I ended up using a company called Powerhouse Pro Fulfillment Center and they really helped out a lot. The other prices I received from a lot of these companies was insane and took me a while to find someone reasonable to where I can still make money.
