I've been with Sanmar over 10 years, never heard about a $10k per year to get
case pricing. They had called me to get my account away from Alpha and offered
it...and had a $250 minimum at the time for free freight I think,and it's
dropped several times. I think it's around $100 or so but it's rare that I
don't make free freight. If its close I throw in some tote bags or pants for
myself to make it up!If you have an 'account executive' or whatever they call
the sales person assigned to you-just tell them you were also offered free
freight and case price by other suppliers-are they going to match it to keep
your business? All the suppliers are really hurting for sales right now-they'll
do almost anything to keep your account so it never hurts to ask. Also, as
Steve says-you might have a 'closer' supplier that takes care of you-fast
service, quick shipping, etc.-which can count a lot more than a 50¢ per shirt
discount...if you can get the goods and turn the order around in a day
or two instead of a week or more-it builds your reputation with clients and
THAT brings in more money.
