I. Offline suppliers

This channel is more traditional, and each city has its own wholesale market. These businesses operate all the year round and can provide stable low-priced goods, but the online goods are relatively incomplete.

The box owner can find an offline wholesaler near the school to reach a stable state of cooperation and let the wholesaler provide you with snacks at a price lower than the market price.

The advantage of this purchase channel is that it will be more stable than the uncontrollable logistics time on the Internet. Because it is close to the source of goods, the arrival time will be shorter, and there will be no shortage of goods due to express delivery problems.

Second, online e-commerce.

Now there are many large-scale wholesale platforms on the Internet, with a wide variety of goods, and the price is lower than the market price. For example, large online wholesale platforms such as Alibaba, JD.com shopkeeper and Quan Quan can shop around in time and choose better and cheaper products.

Of course, considering the influence of uncertain factors such as logistics, the box owner must communicate with the seller in advance about the delivery time, place an order in advance, and leave enough time to avoid unexpected situations.

In addition, we should also consider the actual situation of school express delivery. Many schools have fixed courier cooperation companies, and online shopping also needs to consider the distance between different rookie stations. After all, carrying goods is also a manual job.

Third, cooperate with the supermarket in the school.

Some operators will also cooperate with supermarkets on campus to purchase goods, which can directly solve the problem of hoarding goods, and only need to purchase goods from supermarkets to dormitories. But this needs to reach an appropriate agreement with the supermarket in the school, so that they can provide you with a lot of goods at a lower price.

To some extent, the box operator and the supermarket in the school are competitors. How to reach an agreement and make a profit is a very test of the negotiation ability of the box owner. Fast food box operators with ideas and confidence can try to cooperate with campus supermarkets and win-win.
