WPRP Pallet Rack Quick ShipThe Quick Ship Freight Advantage

At WPRP Our Goal is to Help You, and having three fully stocked quick ship locations offers many advantages when it comes to freight costs and shipping times. As a dealer, being able to pass these advantages along to your customers is a huge asset.

Scenario #1: The dealer purchases pallet rack from WPRP, and wire decking directly from the wire deck manufacturer.
•  The customer has to issue two separate purchase orders.

•  The customer has to pay freight and track two separate shipments.•  The customer may have to wait for the decks to be manufactured if they are not a stock item, which will result in a lapse of delivery time between pallet rack and decking.

Scenario #2: The dealer purchases both the pallet rack and wire deck from WPRP.

•  The customer only needs to place one purchase order.

•  The customer only has to track one shipment and pay one freight bill, which will most likely result in a savings over having two separate freight charges.
•  The pallet rack and wire deck arrive in one shipment, ready for install.

Real Life Scenario at WPRP: A dealer placed an order for pallet rack beams out of our Erie, PA Quick Ship location, but ordered the wire decking directly from the manufacturer. We spoke with the dealer about his freight costs and why he chose to split the order. As it turns out, the dealer thought they were saving their customer money by ordering the wire deck directly from the manufacturer. However, shipping our in stock wire decks with the beam order in one shipment from our Erie location, resulted in a cost reduction of more than $500. This option offered a savings of both time and money, something that made the dealer and their customer very happy. As a result, that customer placed several follow up orders. It’s not always apparent what the needs are, and sometimes the dealer doesn’t realize that even though there may be a difference in price when comparing our in stock items to the manufacturer’s pricing, there is still the opportunity to save by shipping everything from one location. It really pays to take the extra time to ask, and this is just one of many examples!

WPRP stocks 22 sizes of  pallet rack wire decking, which gives us the advantage of being able to offer our dealers more sizes than what most manufactures have in stock. Having in stock items gives WPRP the advantage of being able to ship our inventory within 24-48 hours. Again, a guarantee that a lot of manufacturers cannot make.

Another convenience that WPRP offers our dealers is our email order acknowledgments. Most manufacturers do not provide this type of service, resulting in more follow up work for the dealer.
