We do it for our good distributor customers. They buy stuff from several suppliers for their own clients, mostly for webstores, and we store for them and fulfill for them. They focus on sales and we take care of the rest. SIBEL TOY Managing Partner 3D Promoplastic McKinney, Texas PPAI 690397, S1 It depends, as every situation is different. If it is a large enough order [and a] large enough client who has paid for merchandise, I may not charge anything to store it, or it is included in merchandise price. I am currently storing small amounts of paid-for merchandise for a few clients who have no office access due to COVID-19 at no charge. Just wanting to help them out. KAREN MAJOR, MAS President All The Right Tools, Inc. Cobourg, Ontario PPAI 288674, D1 The best way to price this is to contact a local fulfillment center and copy their pricing, that way if you grow your space you will be able to outsource it. Bill it separately so your client doesn’t think you’re over- charging them on basic products. ADAM COVIT Sales Executive/Strategic Alliances S.C.G. & Associates, Inc. Davie, Florida PPAI 103684, D2 I did it for years for a huge customer. Money was flowing good until it didn’t! I’d never do it again unless all inventory was paid for upfront. Our situation was with a big company in North America that was salesforce- consolidated and streamlined, where a vice president picked out everything, so he had control of quality and consistency over what the salesforce was providing. Then an economic downturn came and, you guessed, it changed; individual salespeople were cut to a max of $250 per month that they could spend. It took about three years to finally get rid of all the inventory. CHRIS POLLAN Owner and President Pollan Promos Starkville, Mississippi PPAI 276409, D2 PPAI/114048 SAGE/57245 ASI/79933 www.
