There's a certain point for businesses where growth becomes problematic and for a lot of ecommerce businesses, that point comes when inventory starts piling up in the owner's living room and he or she runs out of hands willing to pack and label things.
One solution: rent warehouse space and hire staff to deal with it.
Another solution: Shipwire.
Shipwire provides order fulfillment services and looks like a great solution to the problem of storing and shipping your products when your ecommerce business outgrows your home. Basically, you send your products to Shipwire and when your customers order online, Shipwire takes care of shipping your products to them.
