[vendtalk] AmeriSource

Sat Nov 3 21:50:26 UTC 2012

AmeriSource is a great idea but be sure you are getting the pest price, even
with the rebate.  Depending on your supplier the net cost is sometimes
better at a buying club without the rebate than with it.    Examples are
Kellogg’s and General Mills.  In the area I live both lines are better
priced at a buying club without the rebate than through a traditional
distributor with the rebate.  And you do not have to wait 2-3 months for you
money.  

Also, keep track of your purchases.  AmeriSource has omitted rebates due me
and, even though they assured me they would “make it right”, I never heard
another thing.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a great idea developed by nice people but, in
spite of it being money you would never receive without it, it is nice to
know it is doing what it purports to do.  

Moreover, they take 30% of the total due you.  This seems a little steep to
me but, until competition arises, they get what they get.

Hi Rhonda (and all),

I double checked, your application was received on September 5th, so
providing 
your distributor is an authorized distributor you will receive a 3rd quarter

rebate check soon, the data is being complied now.

As Kevan mentioned earlier everyone who has not yet signed up for
rebates can do 
so by following this link.

Directly from our blindmerchants.org website here is the link:

.pdf

In Illinois alone we brought in over $20,000 in rebates for the 2nd
quarter... 
It was likely over $70,000 for the entire United States Blind
Entrepreneurs!  
This is such an awesome opportunity; everyone needs to be a part of this. 
Also 
some should be considering changing their purveyor from someone like Sam's 
(where we only get credit for Mars purchases) to an authorized vending 
distributor.  Because now having the ability to collect rebates and the ease
of 
having your product delivered vs. going and hand picking orders... The
benefits 
can outweigh the initial savings.

Anyone with questions can feel free to call me, I am also willing to help
anyone 
complete the application and submit it for them. 630-234-4444
 Thank you,

Rhonda,

I'm traveling in Ohio this weekend.

However, AmeriSource is very very easy. You simply sign up. You order 
through the same sources from which you have always ordered. AmeriSource 
will track that data for you. You will then receive a quarterly check. This 
typically works better when you are using a national vend supplier, such as 
Vistar. When I get off the road next week, I can get you further 
clarification. Everyone can sign up on the AmeriSource program.

I'm not understanding how Amerisource works. Can someone explain to me how 
it all works? Where am I suppose to order from? How is it shipped to me? Is 
there shipping and handling charges attached?

Hello Rhonda,

You should just continue to ordering as you have been.  You should have
given 
them your customer info to the places you have been ordering from.
