I'm currently working with a large retailer to be part of their online offering (more on that later) but they needed the products I showed them to have barcodes which, at this time, none of them do. Well, you have to love the internet because I found a really easy and painless way to get barcodes:
www.iwantmybarcode.com
OK - it's not the fanciest site you've ever seen but the story I got from Leroy, the owner of the site who I emailed multiple times as I was very very leary to put down money on this via the internet, was that years ago if you wanted barcodes you had to buy something like 100,000 of them at a time. After several years of this happening someone filed in federal (international?) court saying that it was unfair, the courts agreed, and now many of those people who bought 100,000 barcodes are selling them off piecemeal since it's now legal to buy smaller batches. Trust me when I say I was highly skeptical despite how nice Leroy sounded over email.
However, a little additional internet research of my own verified what he told me and his prices were good - not to mention that I really liked the fact that I could talk to him rather than a form letter that's never answered and trusted that if I had issues I could file claim with PayPal to get my money back.
In the end, I ordered two barcodes and, as promised, they came quickly and easily and I nor the big retailer have had any problem using them so I'm guessing they are legit. So just in case you need barcodes give Leroy a shout.
