I think the hardest part is managing shipping and deliveries. Packing all the orders in one night is manageable, but making sure each package reaches the correct location can be much more challenging, especially in areas that are difficult to locate through GPS. Even with everything packed and ready, delivery can still become a headache when the address is hard to find.
