Why is King eds instant ocean so much cheaper?
 

Hey everyone,

Just bought a few buckets of instant ocean from king eds pets. It was $30, which is way less than anyone else!

Any ideas why?

I have some ideas :)

I think they brought in a truckload. Volume discount. Most LFS will bring in a pallet at a time at most.

Less markup? loss leader?

Free advertising on forums and via word of mouth. Brings people in the door. And then makes money on the other things they sell them

Now if only someone in Calgary would do this for H2O

It's below normal wholesale unless they're getting a container of it from China. And for the labour and storage of managing a container of salt, you'd think that they'd want to make a couple bucks. And most people I know just go there for the salt. Seems like a waste of time selling it at below cost.

Where is King Eds?:question:

Burnaby.

Don't worry he's making a profit, that's the beauty of bulk buying.
