Step by step
- Send your list. Use the inquiry form, email info@synktrading.com or call 847-231-2310. Send a recent invoice or item list from your current supplier, and Synk will quote the closest matching items it carries.
- Receive the quote. Synk aims to respond within one business day. Carton, pallet and full-container pricing is quoted on request; there is no public price list.
- Confirm the order. Reply to the quote with the items and case counts you want. Quotes are subject to confirmation in a written purchase order, invoice or sales agreement, as set out in the Terms and Conditions.
- Get it delivered, shipped or picked up. Synk offers next-business-day local delivery on in-stock items, carrier shipping outside the delivery area, and pickup at the warehouse during business hours.
A complete quote request includes:
- each product and size, or a copy of a recent invoice;
- the number of cases of each item;
- your delivery ZIP code, or a note that you will pick up;
- your monthly volume if you reorder regularly, so Synk can quote pallet or container pricing where it applies.
Minimums
There is no minimum order. Products are sold by the case, and buyers with larger volumes can request pallet or full-container pricing.
