Hello Nathan
No reason why an individual can't do it. Happy to have anyone and it will put a few extra dollars in the pocket of whoever decides to have a go.
Only a couple of drawbacks for an individual:
- Would have to pay for goods they want to keep/sell. Years ago I would have given them on consignment. However we lost many thousands of $'s over a few years from those who wouldn't pay. Had a number of people get product on consignment, sell it then spend all the money thinking it was theirs and not paying us.
Everyone from our smallest to our largest distributor has to pay up front before we will dispatch goods This came about by us being ripped of, not just by individuals but also some of our bigger distributors, who would hang us out for up to 120 days and more before paying. Not to mention the 2 that went bankrupt without us getting a cent. Sorry for the whinge :B but a 2 person business trading on a shoestring (as we were then), just can't survive if they don't get paid.
- I have to insist on full cartons or we can't guarantee the items arriving in good condition and being as how most of our products are liquid, it's not a pretty site when one or more break in transit. We can do mixed boxes of same size bottles or same size jars to fill a box which can help a lot.
Examples below:
A box of 12 x 250ml jars could have EEE, Shellawax Cream and Traditional Wax in it.
A box of 20 x 250ml bottles could be made up of Shellawax (250ml), Aussie Oil, and FoodSafe Oil.
A box of 12 x 500ml bottles-could be made up of Shellawax (500ml), Shellawax Glow, Sanding Sealer, Hard Shellac, White Shellac.
Most other items can be purchased individually in a mix n match box as they're not liquid.
Hope this gives anyone interested or contemplating a wee bit more info.
If more info is needed re payments and costs etc, etc, please PM me.
Cheers - Neil :U
