NES will give you case pricing just for asking. Tell them you are an
embroiderer starting out. They have a warehouse in N.C. All of the rest of the
distributors have different rules. Just buy from them once in a while and after
a couple months ask for case pricing, eventually you will get it on all orders.
I have case pricing with everyone except Broder now. They are the only one who
won't give it to me unless I order something like $5,000/year from them. Broder
is last on my list of people to call.

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.
Steve
