How to Ship Anything
This is a superbly informative article about streamlining and simplifying shipping, particularly international shipping, on a small business scale. I suspect I don’t get the quantity of shipping orders Joel does, but I wish I had half the technology that he has at my disposal. Here is the tutorial’s payoff:
Shipping an international order now takes about 35 seconds, down from 3 minutes, and can be done by anyone, whether or not they have SQL and Mail Merge skills. Domestic orders are even faster since they don’t need customs forms. Most of all, it’s all really fun.
No knowledge of SQL or Mail Merge required almost sounds like cheating.
