From the supplier: Manufacturers, retailers and consumers should eliminate excess product handling costs incurred in distribution channels and understand the true cost of handling a product. Distribution channels mix-up the components of a consumer's price, namely the supply channel's logistics, the product's actual cost and the promotion expenses passed around between manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. Bulk-breaking facilities and high-frequency, mixed-load transport can handle the costs, and a two-step distribution may prevail.
