His schedule may be a bit jammed from here to eternity, but @meakoopa.bsky.social has some really thoughtful takes on truly mindless pop-culture trash. His Dumpster Raccoon events at the Revue Cinema have always been a lot of fun.

I haven't used Shippsy myself but it seems pretty neat! I have family in the States I bully into shipping me stuff. :P
You can also use Amazon services to do the fulfillment for you; they got a plant out in Brampton, I believe. You can tell the printer to ship directly to their warehouse, and upload your backer list to them. They take a hefty cut, but if you have thousands of orders it'll save you weeks of work.
You can buy padded envelopes in bulk from Chit Chats or Stallion. Or uLine for cardboard mailers, though they have deeply unfortunate politics.
Printing costs scale with volume, while shipping remains a flat cost. If you plan to do fulfillment yourself, I recommend renting a storage unit that has access to a loading dock. Many printers won't ship to a residential address, or will charge extra to unload the books for you.
I find Chit Chats prices have spiked lately, but there's a new local competitor called Stallion that's worth checking out!
The super talented @gofishblues.bsky.social@pangolinart.bsky.social's tabletop game, The Siege of Punica! I'm really thrilled with how they came out.
