If you need a large amount of drinking glasses it is in your best interest to buy in bulk. You will save money and the pre-packaging will make it easier to transport. You need to decide what color, size, the type of material, and shape of the drinking glasses that you want. Once you have decided these basics you can start shopping for a wholesale retailer to buy from.
Instructions
1. Make a list of five businesses that sell drinking glasses in bulk. Note their contact information such as telephone number, address, and website.
2. Determine if your selected businesses take credit cards, how long it will take to receive your drinking glasses once you place the order, and any other questions you might have. Make sure to confirm that this business has the particular kind of glasses you were looking to order.
3. Contact each business on your list by phone or an in person visit, if possible. Get all the details of order, what to expect, when you pay, whether or not you have to sign a contract, and what to do if a glass is damaged. Ask to see an example of what they will sell to you. Ask if there is a shipping fee or if they will allow you to pick up your order. Also confirm whether there is a discount for purchasing in bulk. For example, would the unit price go down if you bought 200 instead of 100?
4. Rate each of the five businesses you contacted or visited with No. 1 favorite and No. 5 being your least favorite. Write down pros and cons next to each business and decide based on these criteria which business to order from.
5. Contact the business you decide is your top choice and ask to speak with the sales associate you met or spoke with previously. If they are not available, ask to speak with the owner. Then place your order. Remember to ask them to send you a receipt and ask when the estimated delivery date will be so you know to look out for the shipment. Keep your receipt at least until you have received the shipment.
