Is there Kunaki alternative in Europe?

SpicyRobby · 08-15-2008, 01:58 AM

Hi Folks,

I was searching the Net for similar services Kunaki.com provides in the States, but couldn't find any. I mean - in the Europe, in the UK.

Does anyone know by the chance?

It seems to me that Kunaki.com is the only fully automated cheap DVD/CD publishing service online, but maybe I'm wrong.

Please - if anyone knows - let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Rgds,

Robert

Hi Robert,
Lol...been trying to find someone to do the same also. I've only found E-Commerce Fulfilment Services from Alpha Duplication Limited so far. I've not used them yet (just spoken to them)so no idea how efficent or not they are. Let me know if you find other 'all-in-one' solutions!

Thanks Rich,

But it seems they don't offer the automation Kunaki do. Here you have to get the quote, etc...

OK, thanks anyway!

Rgds,

If you do find one please update the thread, I have been looking at this too. I was hoping to sell digital products on eBay but was told by a few people eBay now only allow you to sell physical products? Which means printing ebooks and burning videos to disk

LaunchWorkshop · 08-15-2008, 04:57 AM

Kuniaki will deliver to the UK and the costs still work out. A DVD made and sent to the Uk for just under $10. The only problem is that it will be US formatted DVD and not work on standard UK DVD players but it will work on multi region players and on PCs.

You can still sell digitial products on ebay classifieds $9.95/ £5 for a month

chrisgarrett · 08-15-2008, 05:17 AM

Interesting ... Have you used eBay classifieds yourself?

LaunchWorkshop · 08-15-2008, 05:25 AM

I've been researching it and will use it today (as soon as I get a Clickbank approval through)

chrisgarrett · 08-15-2008, 05:30 AM

Oh cool, please let me know how you get on

kidino · 01-13-2009, 08:11 PM

I think when you said automation, what you want is an on-demand fulfillment service. They only print and ship your DVD when there's an order. And you can pass that order direct to them.

Well, I am using something else, other than Kunaki. It's ... (I'll tell you below)

And yes, it's automated. I created my own little script to make it work with Paypal IPN. Every time my IPN handler verifies an order, a DVD request is sent to the company. And I can login and check if that order has been fulfilled.

And so far it's been great. But it's still in The States not UK though. But what I like about them, I don't have to use a special software to upload my content. I tried Kunaki and having to upload to Kunaki from Malaysia, it's quite unreliable. The progress goes up and down. 10% - 45% - 20% - 5% ... and it's been days and still not completed.

With this alternative company, you can send a DVD over to them (they'll charge $50 or so to process it) or create your own ISO, zip it and upload it to any web location like your web hosting or your Amazon S3. You define where your content is inside your DVD project panel. And they'll download it from there.

I also like that you can set your products in a few ways...

You can set to send the DVD or CD in those sleeve envelop. You can choose the amaray case. You can create multiple disks in a product. There are a few options to choose from. As for now, I don't see them do a printed books though... I'll be great if they do because then I can send a complete home study course. But they can include 1 - 10 pages of document in there. Maybe your upsell sales letter...

As for price, I think it's quite competitive.

For CD with sleeve envelope including shipping, it's $4.20 within the States, $5.20 for Canada and about $6.00 for International (everywhere else, including Europe, Asia, etc...)

Mine is a DVD product. I send mine in the amaray case with bubble envelop and artwork for the disk's face and the amaray insert. It's about $6.90 for USA, $7.30 for Canada and $9.10 for International.

Well, you can always put those costs back into your shipping and handling (or postage and packaging).

In case you are wondering about integration and automation, they can parse emails orders (documented that they parse email from 1ShoppingCart.com, Kagi, QuickCommerce, Modular Merchant ... or you'd have to write your own using their email format), Server URL (what I use in my IPN handler) or email them a CSV file (they'll charge extra for that).

By the way, there is a $1.99 fee for every new product that you create. They don't expect you to pay for it unless you've made your first order. And they normally that first order is your, to make sure everything is in order.

And as for billing, there's no need to deposit your money there, unless you are expecting a huge amount of orders.

They bill you every month and you have a $75 credit limit. If you think you are going to exhaust the $75 very quickly, then you should deposit some money with them. They take credit card and Paypal. It's clearly stated that they prefer credit card because of the lower fee they have to pay.

I guess you want to know what I use now, don't you?

I use CD DVD Fulfillment - CD DVD on demand. Just in time fulfillment 2009.

All the best... and if you guys have any experience with them, would love to hear.

kidino · 01-13-2009, 08:30 PM

By the way, some other on-demand CD/DVD fulfillment I found ...

With full online automation and integration

These look promising but probably need a custom quote

Order Fulfillment, CD replication, CD duplication, DVD replication, DVD duplication, Packaging and On-line CD & DVD pricing at cdrom4u.com
Media Services for Training Industry and Educational Institutions: print-on-demand, cd-on-demand, dvd-on-demand, e-learning content development, second life development and consulting
Magellan - CD and DVD Media - On-Demand CD and DVD Duplication Service

Have to sell from their e-store...

JonathanBoettcher · 03-11-2010, 04:39 PM

I'm bumping this post... (it's kind of old) does anyone else know of a highly automated, hands off DVD fulfillment company in the UK or Europe? IE - Kunaki, but not in North America.

Kunaki is great but I have reasons for wanting a UK based outfit...

I too have been looking for a UK solution for this.

I think you would be hard pushed to find any service who can do this cheaper than Kunaki. Their price for one DVD, in case, printed, with insert, barcode, cellophane wrapped and shipped to your customer in the UK is $5.20 which is about £3.50. The only thing is that they quote 7-14 days for air mail shipping. Whether it actually takes this long I dont know. Maybe someone in the UK has used them and could tell us how long delivery takes normally?

I wanted a service like this to sell discs on Amazon UK. My only doubt is that UK customers may not be happy to wait the 7-14 days.

I came accross this company in the UK:
CD Duplication, DVD Duplication, CD Replication

They only do bulk jobs but their prices are very good - using their online quotation, for 50 DVD's in case, printed, insert, 4 page booklet, cello-wrapped, delivered is £117 so £2.34 each. Thats a great price but you would have to post them yourself and they also dont include a barcode which I think you need for amazon (can anyone confirm this?).

I'd be glad to hear if anyone can come up with any more UK based solutions.

Willow · 01-09-2011, 11:06 AM

Hi,

Just bumping this thread as I am also looking into finding a CD on demand/fulfillment service in the UK

mjbmedia · 06-29-2011, 05:21 AM

i understand with Kunaki they do it all, the cd/dvd pressing and the cover/ label design and printing both from what you upload, and the distribution I not found UK versions that do it all and so automated, still looking though

I havent looked at these for a while ....
Order Fulfilment Services | Internet Fulfilment&CRM

DVD Duplication UK - cheap fast DVD duplication

Buy DVD+RW UK buy online from www.aprmedia.com media shop - APR Media Ltd

so Im definitely looking too, cant beleive nobody has set one up over here for UK/ Europe even not competing with the prices, the postage and speed would be winners V Kunaki on 10+ orders
so they may be complete pants , the long urls are just the pages I saved the site at, not affiliate link or anything

Woodster · 09-07-2011, 07:21 AM

I'll just declare my interest before I start (so I can't be accused of spamming etc). I work for Alpha Duplication, who were mentioned earlier in the thread. Apologies for the dead link - it is kinda old though!

In reply to the question about on-demand fulfilment, it is something that we do but it tends to be for the larger quantities where it's a matter of producing in bulk and then pulling items from stock as needed. It's prohibitably expensive to be producing & dispatching the discs one at a time.

That said, we do specialise in high quality (screen or litho printed) discs & associated packaging and are able to produce them in very small quantities (quickly too) so we should be able to help.

Drop us an message via our contact page or call us on 01494 536646 & ask for Emily. Either that or PM me with your details & I'll get her to give you a call. I'm sure that we can help you out & if not we can hopefully point you in the right direction.

PS. As this my first post I can't embed a link, but Google 'Alpha Duplication' and you'll find us.
