Respected sir/madam,
I have have been doing business with menards since 1980 s placing my flyers in there stores And bringing in thousends dollars in purchases into there stores Until recently My Flyers have to be to there specific Specifactionss and I now have to have a rep in there and have give them my Credit /Debit card number and a detailed price list And have to make a purchase with our customers which is almost impossible to be that specific Some jobs are subject to measure as well as unforseen complications and some customers simply dont want to purchase everything from menards.but if i dont follow there procedures my flyers are removed without any noticeAlso if i put my labor prices right out there in the open For other SUB contractors to see And some SMUCK to under bid. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR And the rep that they assign to us isnt worth Two Cents because if we dont go through them they dont get paid And they favor the ones that bring in the most sales Most of there reps dont have any idea how it works!! This new policy they now have for subs, Im sure has cost them more than its worth It has become to much of a hassle for me to even deal with them OH WELL Its there loss I will send my customers were ever they choose to go and if they ask Menards will be the last place i Suggest to them. Unfortunely i still have some costomers that make there purchases from menards, But i dont send them to my rep I give them a material list they will need and my phone # to ensure that they are not sold more than they need.
