Does anyone know why an off-the-shelf solution like Magento or Shopify paired with a label printer wouldn't have worked? It's interesting to see the the mechanics of an early-stage startup, but this feels like a largely solved problem? Also, how did the mess of labels get matched with the specific orders, someone was just matching invoices and stickers?

One person can process and ship 60 orders in 30 minutes. 60 orders via a 3rd party warehouse with all their fees, would run you ~$150 - $200.
- replicatorblog 11y agoThanks! I'm still a little bit confused about the problem they're solving, but I'm glad to know I'm not crazy :)
- jonknee 11y agoProbably because it's not a real problem, they created it entirely themselves. At least they solved it!
