Quick question about SanMar. Online they have three price "tiers". Using their online ordering system you cannot get case pricing until you purchase a certain number. I typically fall in the "dozen" pricing tier by purchasing 6 or more of something. Case quantities on items are all over the map from 24 to 144. I buy via credit card and by purchasing online I save the 3% uplift I would pay if I call the order in.
Tim, are you saying I can call SanMar and ask for a quantity of any amount and ask for case pricing and they will give it? Depending on size of my order it might be worth me paying the 3% credit card fee if I call and get case pricing for all items. I was not aware that this is an option and I just had a long talk with them yesterday. Of course I didn't ask that question specifically.
If you all think SanMar will give case pricing regardless of quantity I will call in my order next time

Let me know your thoughts...
And, I price shop for larger orders and SanMar seems to be the best pricing. I find their selection is not as young and hip as some other vendors, but on the basics SanMar rocks.
