Have you’ve heard of this new business called Send a Ball? This unique business allows you to Send a Ball in the Mail! How cool is that?

Sendaball, Inc. is a family business headquartered in Chicago. It is owned by a couple of BALLSY sisters who live across the street from each other in the same northwestside Chicago neighborhood they grew up in.

These Ballsy sisters have been sending balls since the 90s, but one day in 2003 this CRAZY business idea went live and they named it Send a Ball. One of the ballsy sisters named Michelle said that sahe came from the direct mail world, so she knew the mailing rules sending silly things in the mail over the years.

One day she was in Osco, saw a BIN of bouncy balls, grabbed one and thought “I can mail this”. She then took one ball and sent the ball in the mail and addressed it to her BFF Sharon by writing “Have BALL with your new baby”.

Sharon loved it so much. One day while standing in line at the post office, a guy behind asked about the balls to be sent in the mail and asked it’s possible to send one for him. Laughing, Michelle called her sister and told her how funny that just was. She said, ” MICH, I THINK WE ARE ONTO SOMETHING”. – a BUSINESS!

Before starting SENDaBALL business, the sisters spent many hours trying to come up with a way to run a business so at least ONE of them could stay home with their children.
