Yes, they were dropshipped. There was no deadline in jeopardy. Like the previous owner said, "don't trust 4over with anything important." Lesson learned. We won't use them for dropshipping in the future.

I'm not sure where you got the impression we needed an immediate turnaround, that was never mentioned in my post.

We recently landed a large client with one of the largest employers in our entire region after months of nurturing. On their very first order with us, it was just a simple banner stand. We ordered through 4over and the first time it was delivered, it was a banner stand for a completely...

Are you setup as a wholesale vendor?

Title says it all...looking for somebody who can either provide sign blanks or print on round aluminum signs with good turnaround time and wholesale pricing. Thanks!

Backpedaling isn't the issue here, reading comprehension is. "Coming out behind" would be the jobs where our margin is $x - $100 and "coming out ahead" would be the jobs where we're making $x + $100. For example, if we're making $1,000 margin on a job, and because we used a flat rate and their...

I never suggested we'd lose money on any jobs. Yeah, maybe on one job we may make ($x - $100) but on others we'll make ($x + $100) where $x = our target margin on jobs. Are you pricing your wraps such that if you make $100 less on a job, you're losing money? We're not.

Exactly - that's what we've done is setup flat rates based on the type of vehicle. We've setup rates for: Lettering Lettering + Printed Graphics Partial Wrap Full Wrap Cars, vans, and trucks each have their own rates. We haven't published our prices online (yet) so our competition doesn't...

I understand the points you're making but the difference is that I'm looking at things from the perspective of what creates the best customer experience and you're looking at it from a numbers perspective. The focus for us in all areas of our business is providing the best possible customer...

Why do you think it'd be a disaster? We could set prices for cars, cans, and trucks separately without having to worry about the difference in Square feet between say a Prius and a Focus.

The quoting process for wraps is frustrating for potential customers, having to calculate wrap coverage before being given a quote. I think using flat pricing could alleviate some of this. Just setup prices for lettering vs partials vs fulls. We'll come out behind on some jobs but willw come...

Sounds good, we'll open an account. Waiting on my accountant to send me our state tax ID and then we'll get that going. Thanks!

Do you offer the ability to get quotes and place orders on your website?

We're looking for a cost effective solution to cut vinyl. Right now we print things like stickers in-house and as you know, they can take a ton of time to weed by hand. If there was a trade printer that offered this at a reasonable price, that'd be a big win. Any help would be greatly...

Very helpful, thank you! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'll have to see if I can figure out how our competition handles that... I'm sure they don't have one on staff if that's what they cost. I'm guessing they sub that part of things out, the same that we would. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Ah, well, if that's the case it may be more difficult as I can't currently justify bringing on a full-time employee for a skill set we currently have minimal need for.

Thanks, I'll definitely look that up! I'm fortunate to have some very smart people on the team so if I need to pay to get one of them licensed, that'd be doable depending on the cost.

Thanks - we'll definitely either get one of our installers licensed for electrical work or sub that piece out as you suggested. Good advice about the license, I'll definitely look into that.

There's only one place in town that does channel signs and they're our biggest competitor (and they have a monopoly on the market for channel signs). We live in an area with a little over 100,000 people so fairly rural and I know they didn't drop $300k+ on the machines to do it...they must be...
