Wholesale & distribution
Volume supply, quoted per unit.
For retailers, distributors, processors and food service buyers who need a repeatable line rather than a one-off container.
A wholesale programme is a different question from a single purchase
A one-off shipment has to arrive. A programme has to keep arriving, at a price that holds and a quality that does not drift between lots. Those need different things from a supplier, so we ask different questions: how often, in what volume, to what tolerance, and what happens when a lot is out of specification.
We quote per unit with the pack size stated, because that is the number that goes into your own costing. And we are explicit about what is fixed and what is indicative — a price that is only good for one lot is useful information, not a weaker offer.
What we need to quote a programme
Volume and frequency
Per order and per period. "A container a month" and "twelve containers a year" are not the same enquiry.
Pack and label
Pack size, inner and outer, and any labelling or bilingual requirement for the Canadian market.
Quality tolerance
What is acceptable variation between lots, and what is not. This is what a specification is for.
Receiving point
Warehouse, distribution centre or direct to store, and whether you need palletised delivery.
Lead time you can live with
The honest one. An optimistic lead time is discovered at the worst possible moment.
How you want to pay
Terms are part of the price. Tell us what works and we will tell you what it costs.
