Mistakes in your packaging and shipping can eat into your profits. Finding the right supplier for RSC box options will need extra thought and consideration to avoid unnecessary costs.
If this is your first time to look for a supplier to partner with, here are a few things you’ll want to check out:
Price
This is a major factor in choosing a supplier. It’s not the only one though. You’ll need to balance cost with quality. Don’t let price dictate your buying decisions entirely. Otherwise, you could lose sight of other equally important factors like quality, inventory, and service. Do your best to find quality solutions offered at low-cost.
Reliability
After cost, you’ll want to find an RSC box supplier that holds an excellent reputation for being reliable in the business. The last thing you want is to deal with suppliers who are going to flake out on you at the last minute. If you want to ensure your production deadlines are met, go to a supplier you can count on.
Resources
What’s your volume breakout? Not all suppliers are equipped for huge orders. You’ll need to know in advance if they can handle those volume orders. If you a lag in quality or if your supplier is consistently late, that could be a cause for concern. Talk to your supplier about it. It only takes an email or a call to ask if there’s anything that could be done to address the problem. If there’s still no discernible change, then it might be time to move on to a new supplier.
Stability
Go for a supplier that has had years in the business, says the Entrepreneur. A stable company can easily provide you with the service quality and reliability you want. A company that’s been around long enough will also have a better handle on how to handle issues and more.
