Hi Steve,
That is weird about SanMar because I just set up an
account with them. They asked me how much I purchase
in a year. I told them I was still new to the
business and gave them a number way lower than 20,000.
They gave me case pricing without any problems. I
did try to gently make it sound like I wouldn't use
them unless I got case pricing. But I never actually
state that so I don't even know if it came across to
the person I talked to.
