Re: Manufacturer Response
5430, One idea is to set up drop ship accounts. That way you have the samples (or just pictures if you do a website), your customers pay you and you then pay your vendor who ships it directly to the customer.
I do this for many of my customers and handle all of my billing on their credit cards.
Try googling "drop ship" or something like that. There are also websites that list drop shippers. You might have to pay a little to get in but you would be able access many drop shippers at once.

Ways to Make Your Search More Accurate
Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.
-
Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".
-
Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards
-
Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"
- Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
