Our Pricing Philosophy

We are committed to providing transparent, competitive pricing that offers exceptional value to our customers while upholding the highest standards of business integrity.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)

When available, our product pricing is based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) provided by product manufacturers. Our discounted prices represent genuine savings from these manufacturer-established reference points.

Key Points:

  • MSRP reflects the manufacturer's recommended selling price
  • Our discounts are calculated from legitimate MSRP values
  • Savings percentages may vary by product and promotion
  • "Up to X% off MSRP" reflects the maximum savings typically available across product lines. Actual discounts may vary, and in some cases, during promotional offers, the total savings could exceed this percentage.

Price Match Guarantee

We are committed to offering competitive pricing on Cluster Mailbox Units (CBU). Our Price Match Guarantee ensures you receive the best value for your purchase.

What We Match:

  • Identical products with the same specifications from authorized dealers
  • Current advertised prices from established online retailers
  • In-stock items available for immediate purchase
  • Total prices including all applicable fees
  • Manufacturer direct pricing

What We Don't Match:

  • Used, refurbished, or damaged product sales
  • Auction sites or individual seller prices
  • Membership-exclusive pricing (e.g., Costco, Sam's Club)
  • Special promotional bundles or package deals
  • Clearance or closeout sales

How to Request Price Matching:

  1. Locate the identical product at a lower price from a qualifying competitor
  2. Submit your price match request through our Bulk Order Quote form
  3. Include competitor's product information, pricing, and your contact details
  4. Our team will verify and respond during regular business hours
  5. If approved, we'll match the competitor's price and process your order

Important Notes:

  • Price match requests are processed during regular business hours
  • We match current advertised prices, including sales prices
  • Contact us promptly after placing an order if you find a lower price - we may be able to adjust pricing retroactively
  • Price matching is subject to verification and approval

Promotional Pricing

Our promotional discounts vary by product, manufacturer pricing, and current market conditions. Promotional language such as "Up to X% Off MSRP" indicates the maximum discount available across our product range during the promotional period.

How Promotional Pricing Works:

  • Promotional discounts are typically pre-applied and displayed directly on eligible product pages
  • The promotional price you see on the product page is usually your final discounted price
  • However, for specific isolated promotions, additional hidden discounts may apply in your shopping cart
  • When additional cart discounts are available, this will be clearly indicated on the product page and/or category page
  • The savings amount reflects the difference between MSRP and the final promotional price (including any cart discounts)

Important Disclaimers:

  • Individual product savings may be more or less than advertised maximums
  • Promotional pricing is subject to change without notice
  • Not all products participate in every promotion
  • Free shipping offers may have minimum order requirements
  • Sitewide pricing and promotions are subject to change without notice

Promotional Duration and Communication

Promotion Length:

  • Promotional durations vary by campaign and are communicated on our website
  • Specific start and end dates (when applicable) are displayed on promotional banners and product pages
  • We reserve the right to extend or shorten promotional periods based on inventory and market conditions

How We Communicate Promotions:

  • Active promotions are displayed on our website through banners, category pages, and product pages
  • Email subscribers receive advance notice of major promotions and exclusive offers
  • Sign up for our email list to stay informed about upcoming sales and special offers

Discount Exclusions

While we strive to include as many products as possible in our promotional offerings, certain items may be excluded from specific promotions.

Potential Exclusions May Include:

  • Products subject to manufacturer restrictions
  • Custom or made-to-order items
  • Specific product categories as determined by company discretion
  • Items already at clearance pricing
  • Special order items

Important Notes:

  • Exclusions will be clearly noted in promotional terms and conditions
  • Product pages will indicate if an item is excluded from current promotions
  • Contact customer service if you have questions about a specific product's eligibility

Discount Stacking and Combination Rules

Many promotional codes and coupons are limited to one per purchase. Specific stacking rules and limitations will be communicated in promotional terms and at checkout.

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Compliance

Some products may be subject to manufacturer MAP policies. If applicable, these restrictions will be clearly indicated on product pages.

Products Without MSRP

For products where manufacturers do not provide suggested retail pricing:

  • We use competitive market pricing as our standard approach
  • These products may be excluded from percentage-based promotional discounts
  • Pricing reflects fair market value and our commitment to competitive rates
