How do you manage the small amount of orders? I mean 5 pencil. Send an order to an office shop immediatelly? There will be an extra shipping cost. Or do you wait a bit for some similar products (pen, sharpie...) And bulk order with only 1 shipping cost?
Thanks for asking. there is no magic formula. just do what makes sense. in some instances with vendors that supply many items but have huge shipping costs. we collect the cards for about a week and place all the orders at once. or you can increase your purchase quantity until your happy with the shipping cost per item. but I would rather pay a bit more in shipping than hold extra inventory. But you are right in the case of pencils... I probably wouldn't order 5 at a time.
