  1. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    I have a feeling they signed a non-compete or something with the competitor they are printing for. That's my guess, due to how how throat our industry became last year with everyone jumping in due to COVID. That's why they aren't taking on more businesses like ours. Sucks. I'll look into a used...
  2. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Yeah, no I was told it wasn't possible. It is possible, and a good source of revenue all around. They are so full of orders they can't entertain another vendor. Without being able to split ship we'll be 1 in 200 other vendors. To be able to split ship or piece order we'd be one in 5. Hoping...
  3. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Sure enough the printer for a competitor got back to us today after saying they couldn't take on any other businesses like ours (guessing because it keeps them busy). We asked if they could refer us to a printer that could take us on, and I quote their response as "Hi again! To produce...
  4. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    There are literally already printers doing this for the industry our business is in. People go to those able to sell individual signs so they can buy 3-4 pieces instead of a full sheet of graphics now to cut their inventory costs. The 4 pieces fit on a half a sheet. Two others may order 2 pieces...
  5. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Incorrect. Again. I would not be selling at complete wholesaler price. I never said that at all. The way you read into things is skewed. Second comment in a row.
  6. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    That's about what we're figuring out at this point. In-house isn't possible currently, but would be the dream. Our customer base would grow substantially if we could figure out the single piece avenue without having to double their price with increased shipping charges. Just don't know how to...

    Not at all. Contour cut pieces under 45inches. Most large size Trade-Only shipping companies receive discounts based on the amount of shipping they do. So a business our size would pay 3-4 time the shipping cost as a wholesaler, again based on volume of shipping. It would cost our company $45 to...
  8. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Because the cost to ship for us is much higher than the cost of our wholesalers. We were told to check this route via our Fedex account manager.
  9. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Yeah, I verified. They don't split ship.
  10. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Thanks, I call and ask.
  11. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    Currently work with them and haven't seen the split ship option.
  12. Direct Print By the Piece Coro?

    I'm checking out all of the Trade Only Print Vendors, but having a hard time finding someone that ships by the piece instead of by the sheet. We're cool with ordering a sheets at a time if needed, but need to be able to blind ship different pieces from the sheet to different customer addresses...
