Alright, ladies and gentlemen, once again, I come to you with my hands out and my tail between my legs. I've realized a couple more tihngs, and now it's time (or past time) to get serious. First, I'm paying premium prices for stuff because I'm ordering small quanities; second, freight is KILLING ME. If I'm paying 15.00 for product and 14.00 for freight, that hardly seems reasonable. I wonder if there are any wholsale packaging suppliers in Florida? How does one find the best wholesale suppliers? There are thousands of them on the net, but many "wholesalers" are actually selling at nearly retail prices. I have to figure a way to get my costs down so I can (hopefully) actually make a profit. Is there, in fact, a list of top-notch wholesale suppliers for soap/bath & body care products that I can check out? Anyone have any recommendations OF ANY KIND in this regard?
Let me give you an example. I just figured out that a 16 oz jar of Dead Sea Salts, (for which I am charging $7.50), actually costs me around $7.58 a jar to make. And that's my COST, not including labor or profit. Tiny little problem there. And don't you guys dare laugh at me! (Although I richly deserve it!) I'm a little bent. :twisted:
