Blackbox - Possible New Group Buy Platform?

Having Blackbox ship your stuff to customers is cheaper than doing it yourself. Blackbox works like a co-op of indie artists. If everyone pays for postage, warehouse space, and packaging themselves, the cost is very high. But if we all pool our resources, we’re as big as any company purchasing at volume. This gives us access to the best rates with USPS and FedEx, leverage with warehouses, and great pricing on packing materials.

As a rule of thumb, it costs about $5 plus 5% retail price to ship one item that weighs one pound with Blackbox. That price is comprehensive and includes customer service, the Blackbox buy button, the real-time dashboard, and all of the other stuff we offer.

Blackbox has warehouses all around the world and we figure out where to put things on a case–by–case basis. It’s our problem now.

I'm definitely intrigued, thinking about reaching out to them and getting a feel.
