Why does PCC favor products shipping through a distributor vs. shipping direct or by common carrier?
There are a few reasons. Direct shipments increase the number of deliveries to the individual stores. This increases the number of times orders have to be placed, increases the number of invoices that have to be verified and received, and increases the number of invoices that have to be processed through our accounts payable department — all of this, results in increased expense to PCC Natural Markets. We are always working to minimize expenses and increase efficiency so that we can continue to offer competitive retails to our members.
