The price is listed is based on how many order. It is designed to allow for small orders to be combined and get the volume price. The qty such as 5000 pcs is divided up by all that order not just one company.
Company A order 1000
Company B order 500
Company C order 1000
Company D order 2250
And E order 250
Everyone gets the 5000 piece price.
I'm sorry you feel this may be dishonest but as many on here know BLP nor myself are dishonest we are here to help you. We have been sponsors for major awards and shows in the industry.
Thank you
Mike
