People just really love looking at his eyes stare off in different directions and then they give us money. It\u2019s like hypnosis, but much much better. Because puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About how many stores and countries currently carry Freakers? Beyond the US of A, who\u2019s the biggest consumer of Freakers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We have about 3,000 stores in the US that carry Freakers &#8211; most of which are small independent boutiques. As per internationally &#8211; we\u2019ve been getting a lot of retail orders for Norway, Australia and Mars recently. Also have been getting some web traffic from Russia. Putin, if you\u2019re reading this, can I get a wassup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinks and feet have been conquered\u2014what\u2019s next?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackmail? It\u2019s on my life bucket-list, so maybe we can figure out a way to have people pay us to blackmail them. As long as I don\u2019t ever have to deal with the FDA, I\u2019ll be stoked for whatever we release next. (Unless the FDA would enjoy being blackmailed? Win\/Win.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freaker started using ShipStation back in 2011, about a month after we launched. How has the experience been growing up with us?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ShipStation is great! Some of us are a little wonky donk when it comes to the constant onslaught of apps \/ tech \/ things-we-should-know-because-its-2015-damnit, but ShipStation has been the most intuitive and useful service, even for the office dingdongs. So. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s your favorite ShipStation feature?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That it doesn\u2019t make me feel infinitely dumb. For sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From small beginnings to in Wilmington, NC to Shark Tank to international shipping, Freaker USA has\u00a0cornered the market on socks for your drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":10537,"menu_order":75,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"story-cats":[9,243,238],"class_list":["post-10637","stories","type-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","story-cats-amazon","story-cats-paypal","story-cats-shopify"],"acf":{"shipstation_product_type":["shipstation"],"shipstation_features":[],"shipstation_company_size":false,"shipstation_industry":false,"shipstation_funnel_stage":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Freaker USA | User Success Story |\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We have amazing users &amp; we love to tell the story about their business &amp; how they use ShipStation.
