No more Alpha
whitewater:
The less companies there are, the more service goes down. Think there are picking errors now?
Yea I liked Bodek...Alpha was a totally last resort because they did a great job ignoring me.

I hate this so much... this type of consolidation has never been good.
We've moved most of our business to Sanmar since they have a local warehouse in Richmond now. ACC, Carolina Made, and Print Gear will get the rest. Sanmar has never been the least expensive for us, but they've always gone above and beyond in terms of customer service and has had the fewest picking errors going back many years. If UPS screws us, or something goes wrong they've always had our backs. They stay in their lane and always been to be real partners. I'm not buying blanks from you if you're printing in house... period. Your a competitor at that point. Why TF would anyone subsidize a competitor, this business is too commoditized to begin with.
Give em a few years, wait till the cash dries up and we'll all go up there with box trucks and buy their 3-4 yr old equipment for pennies on the dollar just like I did last year when custom ink shut their doors up in C Ville. Until then they get NOTHING from us.

I think the push for primeline hurt them bad. I can’t say I’m surpirised.
