---- How do I compete with Amazon.com? Help!


Bewenched - 4:19 pm on Jul 6, 2007 (gmt 0)


Speaking of Amazon, we recently found out that one of our own distributors was selling direct to amazon which ticked me off to no end in the first place. But what really got me angry was that they were allowing Amazon to sell direct to the public at the same cost they were selling to us.

That being said I raised cane with the manufacturer of the products that were being low balled on Amazon and thus we are now able to purchase those products manufacturer direct and cut off the distributor.

I think that many retailers will begin going this route especially with manufacturers now willing to dropship (with a small fee) but the higher profit margins make up for that cost of the dropship fee.

We still dont sell at the cheap cost that Amazon does, but try getting customer support or technical help from Amazon on an item that they have no business selling.
