What do you need for a drop ship?

A ship list, one row per shipment with full addresses, and what goes in each. We ship UPS and FedEx.

Why finish and ship from the same place?

Pieces are finished, packed and shipped under one roof in Carlstadt, so there's no freight between vendors and one contact from files in to cartons out.
