[amayausers] Supplier Prices Troublesome

Hi,
We are just starting our embroidery business and signed up for an account at a 
Major supplier of apparel items.  I have a friend who is in the business and 
also has an account there already.  I looked up many items while I was waiting 
for my account to be set-up with the supplier so I could price some basics and 
order them as soon as I was in their system.  

Here is what I found:

Example:
  Medium Shirt $10.55 EA (friends price)  $18.08 (my price)
2XL Item $16.38 EA (friend price) $22.95 (my price)

UPS - Surface Shipping: Free (friend)
UPS - Surface Shipping: (starts around $17.50)

From what I can tell I am paying 60% - 80% more than my friend for the same 
items.
I have not called the company yet, they are closed since it is the weekend.

Is this common with suppliers?  I am also an ASI member which I thought might 
lower some prices at some places.
