Note1: The competitive pricing shown above adjusts for any differences in the number of units per case (e.g., a case of Online Retailer #1 plates may only contain 500 plates; thus we’ve doubled that case price to compare it against a Viv / World Centric case which contains 1,000 plates)
Note2: Unfortunately we’ve been asked not to share the specific names of these retailers. They are however most of the major players in the space, and if you’d like to email us at Partners@VivBizClub.com, we’re happy to share more.
