Just found out today for
E-tape in if anyone intrested in
E-tape, that the 750 is like $1.20 per
roll in 1,000
roll per buy pricing by the end of the month and the other is even more expensive.
Finding a good electrical tape these days is like finding good lumber I think. No... but on the other
hand I bidded out if
drop ship payment schedule, I would but 10K worth of rolls of
E-tape given say 500x per month. A lot of rolls per month... should hold me over given some in
stock to bulk up the busy months.
Agreed that most pay like over $3.00 per
roll in variaying grades, but my guys specify a certain grade of
E-tape and buy like 3 to 4 thousand rolls a year. Just a few years ago for a very preferable grade it was $0.41 per
roll. In the end it jumped up to $0.81 per
roll than down to $0.71 per
roll for a lesser grade that was the best of alternatives but nobody likes. Given the past price per
roll... Heck no I won't pay a buck twenty per
roll for like a thousand rolls at a time. Still
play testing othe electrical tapes.
Also a bid for say 10,000 rolls of tape given they are not just celephane wrapped (extra charge) but also glued so that celephane don't just fall apart in your hands. If you package and glue the packaging of the outer covering for the tape and provide 500x per month but have a 10,000
roll of tape
purchase order... worth down to at most a buck a
roll?
Feasible but I think I'll loose the offer. Threw in like 200 or 300 privately owned touring trucks with the company that could persay
pick up such a
pallet of tape given room on the trailer and at least some tour in the area that can stop by. Shipping it would seem is the major cost. So if we will
call the tape.. how much cheaper does it ge in something that will replace what we have but no longer available, but isn't over priced. Heck no, I'm not going to pay over a buck a
roll for electrical tape given like 3-4,000 per year bought and most used for one time only purposes.
At some
point I'll listen to the end user but also listen to the expense in doing what they need to do anyway.
