We've worked with europa in the past and found them to be deceitful and dishonest. Does anyone have an alternative to this company?
Example: "Hey Tom, the customer ordered the chocolate crispy crunch, but I don't see any on the shelf"
"Well, just ship them that cauliflower flavored protein bar"
"But that's not what they ordered"
"By the time they open everything else and realize it it'll be too late to return it"

I've never heard of this company. Maybe just switch companies and file a chargeback for INAD.
What about using Quest or B Up or ONE bars. Those have been member faves here

Europa is a distributor for Quest, ABB, ISS, VMI, etc. A distributor allows you to oredr a wide range of products in a single shipment at a better price than through the manufacturer themselves.

I gotcha. Similar to a wholesaler? We actually stopped selling bars because we couldn't find a place to purchase them that would allow us to make a profit  |

Do you buy the bars at the lowest price possible?
Sorry, but that's my idea of a stupid question, similar to yours of hiring good employees.
Even without a distributor you can buy bars at Walmart, Target, BJs or Costco and still make a profit while providing your members with a service. It's just a limited selection.

We haven't been able to find a price that will allow us to generate revenue.
Also if you buy a quest bar at Walmart for $2.50, the max you can really sell for is $3, We are in a lower income area, and we cant get much more than that, so with taxes and all, its really not worth the time.
Also, everyone has value to add to our discussion. I cannot think of one positive thing to come from saying someone made a "stupid" comment.

Didn't say it was a stupid comment. Said it was a stupid question. Same as the one I posted above. You didn't win the race? Were you doing your best? (another example)
Walmart has Clif builder bars. They're $7 for 6. That makes them about $1.20 a bar. I'm sure you could sell them for $1.50 or $2. Costco has Clif bars and pure protein bars.
Question still remains, is there another Wholesaler out there besides Europa which someone has used. (Hopefully without being a snap preferred vendor, which just raises our costs)
