[amayausers] Re: Supplier Prices Troublesome

Steve,
   
  You might like to check into joining the National Network of Embroidery 
Professionals (NNEP), www.nnep.net
   
  Although their is an annual fee, there are many suppliers that have agreed to 
offer case pricing to NNEP members. I am a member and it really makes a huge 
difference to be able to purchase at case pricing.
   
  Hope this helps.

  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.
