Months ago, we wrote about the work we had done for a company that was shipping out green product samples to green-minded consumers. It was a neat application, and we enjoyed doing it. But since then, we have been approached by a number of companies also interested in shipping out a wide variety of products [...]

There are a number of industries that routinely ship out products such as cell phones, tablets, laptops and a variety of other electronic devices.
