I would rather go to the local supermarket and pick up the janitorial and safety supplies that I need, then use someone who is what looks like price gauging. Since there is only one safety and janitorial supplies company in town, that delivers, they take advantage of all the businesses that use them. I once had to ask them to rush over some printer paper and ink and they charged me an extra fifty dollars for a trip fee. I am sure that that it probably cost them a total of fifty cents in gas, if even that since they are less than two miles away.

I called the owner of the janitorial and safety supplies company the day after I got the bill and told him what I thought about his pricing. It was not a very pleasant conversation and I am sure that he really does not like me anymore. I stressed that even though he might be the only safety and janitorial supplies company in this small town, he was definitely not the only supplier in this world.

I have since switched over to an online company that gets me anything that I need, over night and does not charge extra. I have a standing monthly order with them and they have great prices.
