DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Methods of Handling and Delivering Orders Used by Some Leading Wholesale Grocers Among wholesalers who have developed the idea, most direct orders are received by mail - the retailer fills out a printed (commonly called pm-printed) order form and mails it in. A number of wholesalers do a large part of their business in this fashion. For example, one wholesaler issues a weekly price book to his retailers. The cover sheet of this book is an order form. Retailers place their orders by writing in the items wanted, tearing off the order sheet, and mailing it in. However, writing in each item is time consuming for the retailer and also leads to errors because of incomplete or illegible listing of items. Another wholesaler has overcome this disadvantage by issuing price books on which the retailer indicates his order by simply marking the quantity of each item he wants next to its description and then mailing in the entire book. In the latter case all items are described and given a code number. The code number and complete descriptions minimize the possibility of error resulting from faulty or incomplete writing and also permit ready translation to sales orders for office and warehouse processing. Both these wholesalers reported that they received excellent cooperation from retailers in order ing merchandise in these ways. (see examples of pre-printed order forms.
