leisa2003 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, I was wondering what some of you do when you order supplies online. Do you buy as much as possible to save on shipping, or just order as you need the supplies? Leisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Dani Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 usually depends on how deep your pockets are...loli usually buy what i need at the moment for orders pendings...and sometime buy few others for futures needs.Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlecrazyinwv Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I always buy in bulk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everito Bandito Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Buy as much bulk as possible. Unfortunately, in my case that's not very much..lol..but what the heck, I'm just a hobbiest. For the purpose of business though, I think that while money is made on the sale, it's also made on the buy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 If it is a product I use a lot of, then I buy the quantity with the best price break. If I am trying something new, then I buy only what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassgal71 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 It depends if it's close to payday. If so, I buy as much as I can to save on shipping, if it's mid month or a special request, I just buy what I need. If possible, I shop around if it isn't a specific item unique to a certain store.

Scented Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I don't like to order 1 or 2 or 3 things, so I usually try to hold off till I have more things I need. In dire need, I'll order one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reese Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I try and wait until I'm almost out of everything then buy in bulk. But if I need something for an order I just get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I recently purchased a HUGE order of supplies. Since everything is so new, I created an Excel spreadsheet of all the things I need/want and costs per qty so I had a good idea of what I'd be spending. I let it sit for a while, and as I realized I might need something else, I added it to the list. After about 2 weeks I was ready to buy, and I am confident that I have everything that I need. That order hurt my pocket book, but I do see it as an investment. And shipping costs proved quite reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julwid Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i try to buy all at once. But the co-ops really help out alot for me so as not to have big orders all at once on supplies. I really appreciate all of you that do the co-ops i know they are alot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Shoofitz Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would think it's in your best interest to wait until you need a lot from one supplier. Consider the fact shipping can be high on just a few items.That's a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
