“Ordered few times, perhaps that was too many...
Ordered various items over my 20 year tenure at my job. Recently ordered a small batch of mints. Some back and forth with production that I was able to work through, delivered, people loved them. Then went to reorder but wanted to change up the mint, keep the wrapper design. Company would not do that, wanted to charge all new setup fees so I designed new wrapper. They added the charges, I agreed. Time passes and then I am contacted that wrapper is not available with the mints. I negotiate to lower the price down from the upcharge of the new wrapper choice, but still have to pay for setup etc...same wrapper as previous ordered. Lots of wasted time in communication and the money budgeted I was trying to spend from lapsed due to their accounting system and fell into another FY budget cycle.
Boxes finally arrive all beat up, holes in them, tape missing but the individual cases seem intact. I use all old product first, then go to open one of the new cases and every handful I pull up has empty wrappers. I immediately contact company, send pictures and they want me now to open all the cases, count the empty wrappers. That would be a waste of my time at this point so I will just go through the wrappers as I need to break the seal on the case. This was a $550+ order in just candy. Perhaps, I can save all the wrappers and at the end of use of what was ordered, I can refer back to their email and return the exact number of empty wrappers, filled with air.”
