which is why I belong to GS-1 and use them to produce bar codes.

Is their price for a bar code better than CD Baby's?
 
Thanks!
 

A bar code from CDBaby is expensive ($20.00)
I get mine in lots of 10 @ $3.00 per.
(IIRC about $10.00 each, the more you purchase the less expensive per)
Google 'bar codes bulk'

I would like to hear more about these CDbaby horror stories and/or degradation of service. They were kind of my shining light at the end of the tunnel in regards to how to eventually distribute my stuff independently in a cost effective manner. If they are going down the pooper or there are things I need to watch out for I would like to know. My needs and expectations are rather simple so what might be a problem for some may not necessarily affect me or be as problematic.
 
Cheers. 
Edit: And this is particularly important now that I think about it because I recently recommended them to someone to pass along to some of the underground and "unsignable" acts they deal with.

 
They are getting expensive (prices creep up every time I visit the site) and the fact that they will not stock any CD's (unless they are fast moving) makes it difficult to actually profit from CD sales. We gave up on selling CD's through them because it cost more to send them than we were getting for them. (I'm in Canada, postage is a lot higher from here).
 
BUT - we still use them for Digital release. Spend an hour or two setting up an Album and within a couple weeks it is available around the world. 90% or more of our sales come from iTunes. We could go directly to them, but CD Baby makes it painless and the reporting is excellent. We do manage our own Bar Codes, ISRC codes, artwork, etc... etc..

Good deal of you folks are top notch professionals, l I am "acceptable".
Was recommended this site and results, very happy with.
Prices I thought were good.  Manufacturer turnaround from order date is very fast.
It is a robot type ordering manufacturing and shipping system.  No interaction with
anyone.
Only purchased a few over 100 units, but happy with quality.
A bar code is free with the first order, its married into you own artwork.
The upload for artwork/verify back and forth takes bit of time.  But yields
high quality verification results.
 
No connection with them at all other that small happy customer.
The first link can answer 99.99% of your questions.
Google reviews on them,  for your own benefit.

This link is my CD...they never sold a single one...
But FAQ's do answer your questions on distribution.

I've used Kunaki in the past. Not great quality, duplication only.
Worth checking out for piece meal, small projects & promo/ giveaways, they drop-ship too.
I've sold through them & haven't had any delivery problems or customer complaints.

Thanks, Carl, but I have manufacture covered.  I need a web designer/builder.

Sorry, it was OT in response to fb.seeker's post above.

Konrad, I think I might be able to help (and would be glad to) and if you'd like to talk about this, if you go to subdog.com there's an email where I can be reached. I've worked with Network Solutions before and can do exactly what you're looking for in terms of putting everything together.
