[amayausers] Re: Supplier Prices Troublesome

Steve,

Each supplier is different but most often it takes a little time and
loyalty buying to get case pricing. It doesn't hurt to ask up front and
see what their policy is.

Subject: [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. =20

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.
