Haven't used the service personally (though I have received a couple things from them), but the Cards Against Humanity people run a fulfillment company: https://www.blackbox.cool/

At least ~2 years ago, CAH was using the contract logistics services[1] of OHL (now GEODIS).

The Blackbox site mentions it operates "like a co-op". I'm curious if they're still using GEODIS for the actual services and Blackbox is just a passthrough entity for CAH to leverage higher volume for bigger price breaks, or if they're actually operating as a 3PL company themselves now.

Before scrolling I really thought this was a troll URL. Rest of the page saved it :D

I usually downvote-on-sight any comment that includes the phrase, "My eyes!"... because I hate Hacker News' tendency to focus on font kerning nonsense rather than actual content.

But then I clicked on the link, and had to unvote. My eyes!

The animation is alright. The color of the font that follows, isn't.

This was the company used by the kickstarter-funded «Secret Hitler» game to send the game to backers.

I sent them an email support on sept 15th regarding my package. Never got an answer. Never got my package either. Experience is awful. I'd never buy or back anything to anyone using them anymore. I wish I knew.
