Is one label the same as another label?
So too all Compulabel distributors are not created equally either. If you feel it might be to your advantage to purchase Compulable
from some nearest Compulabel distributor you might want to reconsider. This is a true story.
A few days ago one of our customer service persons fielded a call from a person who was interested in buying from us who asked her how TLCIT.com, here in central PA, could sell Compulabel labels for a lower cost than his local distributor in the south. The answer Julie gave was amazingly simple. If you buy from us at tlcIT.com you buy direct from any one of five Compulabel plants located within the US. (Yes Compulabel Labels are still made in this country)
Here’s how your order flow looks like when you shop with TLCIT.com : You place your order online. The payment is processed live through our secure shopping cart. The order is electronically routed to one of the Compulabel Labels USA facilities, where it is picked for shipment. UPS delivers your order within 3-5 days. Don’t be surprised if it’s sooner. In other words, our Ecommerce site is set up to minimize the number of people who process your order. Simple concept. Minimize the labor involved in processing an order and the result is lower cost to you!
In contrast, your nearest Compulabel seller, who doesn’t use E-Commerce, keeps Compulabel Shipping Labels stocked at their “local” warehouse, ever ready to deliver to you along with other items you might need like cartons boxes tape peanuts bags stretch wrap or other supplies. Here’s what the order flow resembles when you order from a “local” compulable distributor who stocks the product at their “local” warehouse. They buy a whole skid of material from one of 5 Warehouses. The solid skid is delivered to the “local” distributor by common carrier. That skid is unloaded by the local distributor’s warehouse worker and stored away to await your order. You finally place your order by phone to an order taker. The sales rep processes your order into their computer. Someone in the warehouse prints the order on a label and finds the Compulabel item number you ordered and loads it onto UPS truck. The local truck driver delivers your order. The billing department of the Compulabel Distributor prepares an invoice and sends it to you. Some time later you pay your vendor with a business check. The accounting department then drives to the bank and the process is finally complete.
Whom do you think has to pay for: the additional shipping charges to ship your labels into the Compulable distributor’s warehouse? Mr. Personality who drives the delivery truck?, the guy that creates your packing list?, the person who deposits for your payment? everything else? Of course, the answer to each of the questions is you do!
You, ultimately pay for all of this wasted time, if you buy through your hometown Compulable reseller. If you consider all of this you can definitely know why buying directly from our store tlcIT.com is the most efficient way to buy Compulabel Thermal Transfer Labels. Bottom line- buy directly from Compulabel at www.TLCIT.com and you will ultimately save!
