Its an interesting dilemma:

You run a production facility manufacturing widgets. You have five production lines, six people per line and run two shifts. One of your responsibilities is making sure two trucks are full every shift.

You have received five quotes for your only shipping box: a RSC 12 1/2 x 13 x 12 1/2 - 32ect kraft. no printing qty T/L, every day - Five manufacturers bid on that RSC. The quotes range in price from a low of $190 per thousand to a high of $270 per thousand. Which one do you choose?

You better choose the manufacturer with the highest on time percentage. Imagine if the packaging company "forgot". It happens. Thirty people are now idle.

But how on earth can you verify manufacturer claims?

Answer: Manufacturer Ratings. cBoxBid.com gives every buyer the opportunity to rate manufacturers on price, delivery, quality and customer service. So when your looking at price, look at their ratings also, it may be worth .03 cents.
