Hello Codey,
Thanks a lot for your feedback and apologies for the inconvenience you have faced so far.
We are talking about your order reference number MBP21124 for a book wrap boxes. Correct?
We have gone through with the complete communication with our sales representative, where at first you were proceeding with complete order and than intended to get samples first. Which is totally fine and than you received 2pcs samples after confirming 5pcs.
FYI. samples are sent to review the finish product and decide to proceed or not to proceed with the company. As per your email you liked our finish product and wanted to proceed with complete order. Quantity could be 1-10pcs in samples depending on the waste and to get 1pc of perfect finish product. Like for 100pcs, we have to work on 150pcs to get 100pcs with perfect finish. In your complete order of 100pcs we will deliver you 110pcs not 100pcs. It will be more than the original quantity you order. Its the same process with any company you order.
So, we are talking about two separate orders. The first one you order is for samples in which you have paid for the setup cost, dies plates etc. The second order would be exclusive of the setup cost. But the inventory (particularly material) prices are increasing on weekly basis since the Covid started and we don't have any control over it. The price increased due to the material cost which were different in the last month and obviously customer have to bear the cost. Its the case with all companies.
Again, we are really sorry for the inconvenience but we would like to request you to please ask for the quotation from 1 or 2 top packaging companies in Australia and let us know if anyone can offer you same price ($340 AUD for 100pcs for the requested item) or even $500 AUD for the product and quantity you required.
Lastly, My Box Printing have 5 branches in 4 different in countries, UK, USA, Australia and Lahore, Pakistan. This is what mentioned clearly in our terms page and the link also provided you in order email. Getting confirmation to review before placing an order with us.
We would like to have positive feedback on this soon.
Kind Regards,
My Box Printing Team
