Just wondering if anyone knew of a company that would deliver sign substrates to my door without a minimum order. The closest city to me is waterloo which is about 50 miles and there is no wholesale sign warehouse there that I know of so it's not just jump in the truck and go but when I do go I make it worth my while. At this time I meet the driver of the company that I do order from in waterloo but they only deliver on certain days and I have to have a minimum order of $100 or to have them deliver to my door its a minimum of $300. I know that may be a small amount of money to some but I'm just a small company and I would like to avoid having large amounts of inventory in stock or am I not looking at this right. any advice would be nice. [Smile]

One way to look at this is: could you afford to
deliver a small sign to them for free? I couldn't.

The nearest supply house is about 70 miles away and they deliver for only $5 if you buy about $100 worth. To my door no less!

I figured the time plus the gas, it's well worth it!

Unfortunatly, they deliver only on Thursdays. They used to deliver on Mondays and Thursdays but business got so slow in Greensboro (NC) that they deliver only on Thursdays now.

Tells you how my business is doing.

I'm not sure if Aluma-panel has a location near you, but you can call and find out:

1-800-258-3003


They deliver once a week for a nominal fee . . .and for small stuff they UPS over-night.
