Just what is going on at iFulfill.com?

This is a third party processing company that takes care of your order fulfillment needs. From storing your goods on site, packaging, shipping, invoicing - all you need, without having to hire your own staff and your storage units yourself.

There appears to be a blog set up for by the owner Paul Purdue, to provide information about the current state of his company. The usual channels of communication for current vendors have been forwarded to the blog. This is a highly unusual way to inform the world about the demise of your business. After all Paul Purdue must have known that he would receive countless complaints from disgruntled customers. All out in the open for all and sundry to read, gasp and gloat over.

The iFulfill blog [now offline] has an odd mix of company information, including an online quote, though I would be doubtful if any company would want to do business with them, statements of regret and cartoon captions. Stephen Baker also makes references to the iFulfill at Business Week Online.

Take a look at the blog and read what happened to find out for yourself. Let’s hope this is the first and last blog dedicated to the collapse of a company.

B.B.L Ochman of whatsnextblog.com, a personal friend of Paul Purdue, sympathizes with the companies predicament. Nevertheless, the feedback from reader comments argue that he should it’s the clients who are also suffering from iFulfill’s demise because they businesses have been hit severely with not enough warning to find an alternative company to transfer to, in order to keep their operation running.
