Something I've been noticing lately in a lot of comments and e-mails is people saying they want to get into e-Commerce, but that they aren't really wanting to be packing orders, and shipping orders and running to the post office.

In this video I kind of discuss this topic as well as ask people to take a serious look at whether e-commerce is really the right business model to get into.

Sure there are order fulfillment services and Amazon FBA and dropshipping and there are ways to get around having to pack orders yourself, but oftentimes when your first starting out it's not only more cost effective doing your own packing and shipping yourself, but it allows you to have more control over your business and things like shipping times, item quality, etc. 

What's your thoughts? Drop a comment below... Have you started an ecommerce business and later decided this just isn't for me? Or maybe you did start an ecommerce business, did your own packing and shipping and later once you grew outsourced it to a third party company. Drop a comment and share your story.
