so, here's the deal...

we send out a LOT of packages, to about everywhere in the world (we are missing a lot of africa, a little of asia (in the middle east mostly, and central Asia), and Lichtenstein (got Luxembourg today, and Andorra last month!!!)).  Oh, and island nations...  But, for the most part, the rest of the world is covered...  many on a daily basis (US and Western Europe for sure).

Anyways, with that being said.  We are already putting in some people's promotional items in our packages.  If you've gotten any stickers, plastics, business cards, etc with your orders, those things are the result of us giving out people's things.

We've been told its helped them get some attention, and thats exactly what we all want...

so, if you've got stickers, event flyers, promotional items, business cards, etc, and want us to drop them in with packages we send out, just send your things our way!

Just, PLEASE don't send us very heavy things, as little things don't increase our shipping costs but heavy things will.  Also, don't send us anything that we can't reasonable mail out, or legally mail out (no pr0n in your artwork, food items, unsafe things, things that can be considered weapons). 

You get the idea...

Essentially, if you want people to hear about you, your even, your album, or whatever, feel free to use us as a distributor of that information! 

If you have music you want us to send out, we'd prefer 3" cds (we've gotten e-mails about this, for sending out promotional discs).

any questions, please ask here, or PM.  I think its pretty straightforward though.

We will send out what we get, unless you are a known rip-off, underhanded person, bigot, or general douchebag.  we won't waste our time with you. 

but, most all of you are ok.  i can only think of a couple folks who that applies to.  if you suspect you may be a douchebag, please get in touch with us and we will let you know...

I'll get somethings for you.  I like the idea of 3" EPs.  How many can/should we send you?

tbh, i can handle as many as you want to send...  the only issue is if you sent more supplies than we sold packages, which i doubt would happen in a typical situation. 

they will get sent out quickly, trust me.  its totally everyone's call on what they wish to send.

and, don't be shy business card or basic xerox flyer people!  i did a diy non-prof punk label years ago, and it was built on xeroxed crap with terrible art...  its just as fine as anything else smile

and, yeah, any requirements for things to be sent out i'm perfectly ok with...  the piggy is loved here as well smile

things without requirements i'll assume is just a first-come, first-served type thing, where i'll just drop little bits of things into packages, until they run out, then notify the person who sent the stuff (so, you'll have the option to do more or whatever if you care to, or not, its whatever).

thats the way i've been doing things...  we are sent things, we drop them in packages, when we run out (or slightly before) we let the person know we are close to being out, and its up to them when/if they send more.  some people have sent stuff whenever they think of it, others once a month, and others only when we tell them we ran out.

its free for us, it opens up our address book to anyone who wants to use us for it, and it pleases the people getting the package.  its a win-win-win for everyone i think.
