Direct To Fan Fulfilment
“As an independent artist, there is so much to do on your own, every bit of support means the world! I'm super thankful that MerchMe and their wonderful team has enabled me to get my music to fans across the motu and beyond, arohanui.” – Wiri Donna
"Merchme has been a life saver for us. It has made being an independent band so much easier. I wish we had found them soon!" – Die! Die! Die!
“MerchMe have been an awesome team to work with and have saved us a lot of time, especially in the vinyl packing department! It’s also always a treat having our weekly music catch-ups when popping in store. 10/10!” – LOOP Recordings

FAQS
How does this service work?
You authorise us to fulfil orders placed through your online store, and deliver your stock to us. MerchMe takes care of picking, packing and sending orders on your behalf.
Does this service only work with Bandcamp? What if I sell through Shopify or [X] website?
We can fulfil orders via the platform of your choosing. We're also able to build and host a shopfront for you on the MerchMe website.
Does this service cost?
We charge an NZD 5 handling fee for each parcel we send (covers packaging and labour), as well as exact shipping costs per delivery. We invoice on a monthly basis. There's no set-up fee.
I’m going on tour, could MerchMe look after my orders while I’m gone?
Totally! We're happy to manage your fulfilment in the short or long-term. We just need one month’s notice of the end date of the arrangement. If you'd like us to hold a high level of stock for an extended period of time we may need to charge a small warehousing fee.
How long does it take for MerchMe to send out orders?
We process and dispatch all orders within 1-2 business days of receipt.
