Client CD/DVD Fulfillment Service for SmugMug?

Hey All,
Just reaching out to ask some questions. I have a photography company and use SmugMug for the bulk of my photo gallery storage needs. My company mails our clients either a CD or DVD of all of the images from their events. This is often a big pain for us. I'm assuming many of you have a similar process. My question is would anyone use a service that handled the production and shipping of CD's or DVD's directly from the SmugMug gallery to the client? Is there a service that does this?

Looking forward to hearing some ideas.

    I moved this to the "Mind Your Own Business" forum since this strikes me as business services question.

    Hey!
    Thanks so much. I'm new to posting in Forums and didn't realize that section existed.

    Exposure Manager (www.exposuremanager.com) has such a service (through their own website, not from a Smugmug gallery).

    Do you have to provide a CD/DVD? SmugMug has a 'download all' function that basically gives you a link to email to your client. The client uses that link to download all the files. It is super easy to do. Your client can then save those files anywhere--hard drive, external drive, CD/DVD.....

    Look for it under "Tools--This Gallery--Download All".

    Which would SUCK if you had a large gallery, say, like a wedding. It breaks your gallery into pieces, I forget how big, but I once tried to download all of my pics from one gallery and the system sent me 32 emails... each with a link to 1 piece of the download. Not what I would want to subject a client to wait for all those downloads.
