We have thought about that but it gets tricky too, we buy postage through the business account for the websites. I am not sure how to set it up for someone else to ship things without us shipping them the supplies, the CDs, the postage, constantly. Without giving them access to the account, it seems like it would just add another step.
Generally we can stuff envelopes an hour or two a day, there are always reshipments and orders waiting on something we just ran out of. Emails and PMs to keep track of. Stuff the band needs for tours. When a new title comes out, or durring Christmas sales.. we can work all evening for several days in a row and still be behind. I remember Eric, my wife (actually it was a week before our wedding), our mother and I all stuffing Midgets in envelopes for two or three days. It's amazingly hard to get them to fit in those little bubblewrapped envelopes. Our small town post office gives us grief every time we go up there. I think they don't like to see us show up, so every time we do they have found a new rule that they say we need to comply with.
We all do have full time jobs as well.
We also don't want to sound as if we are complaining, we realize there are many fans out there like us that would be just as willing to do this kind of stuff for these guys. But beleive me, without the support of the fans and the guys friends, these bands would have a very hard time doing anything at all.

If you are using CD mailer size (0), there is a slightly larger size envelope you can buy that still fits CDs well but isn't so tight. I'll PM you if you're interested. I can tell you who I buy them from and you can go from there if you want.

Normally the size we get is fine.. like the current box we're using - no problems whatsoever. But every once and a while we'll get a box or two that are smaller than they should be... we had that happen when Midget first started shipping.

You'd think a midget would be smaller.

Yeah, and it's not like a speck and a molecule take up much room, either.

Well, its almost as if the Midgets don't want to be stuffed in the envelopes, sometimes it sure seemes that way.
Everytime I go to the basement and gather up a bunch of Midgets, I cringe at the struggle ahead of me.
And don't get me started on Mike, he has us shipping Boats, Crows, Buildings and Milk all over the place.

Everybody listen!
Sondance cannot be trusted with your precious cash. I repeat, Sondance CANNOT be trusted.
I, however, can be trusted. I'm an ordained minister.Got my own certificate and everything. And we all know how trustworthy they are! So, send what you were going to send to Sondance, to me. And I will make sure that it will make its way to my "Miracle Pocket", if Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor doesn't try to fish it out of there first! 
Also, send me your copies of "Darn Floor.." for all of the needy this season who have not been able to see me own a copy of this classic!

Marky Mark, I believe that every time you use the term "Miracle Pocket" you have to send Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor all of your money. Therefore, anyone else who is reading this don't send your money to Marky Mark or it will get right into the pocket of Dr. Taylor. Do you really want to support so much negative fruit. Instead send it to me so that I can buy multiple copies of Darn Floor Big Bite and bask in the fact that I am putting an album that deserves great recognition on the billboard top 100. So send me your money! Oh, did I mention I am a youth minister, we can really be trusted with your money. God bless!

Music ministers are evil and youth ministers are worse.
I'm kidding, OK? I like some people, really!

No, no, NO! I need it so I can buy multiple copies of DFBB for the musically needy (i.e., ME!)
I believe we have a false prophet here!!!!! A prophet for profit!!!!!

I agree. That's why I'm a WORSHIP minister. Big difference!

When I was a Worship leader (for a number of years) the kids got in the habit of asking before service..
"Are you songboy tonight?"
it puts the calling in its proper place.
