Is there free shipping for bulk orders of carbonless paper?

Running a small service business that still uses paper forms for client records and ordering carbonless paper had become surprisingly complicated. Price-per-ream varied wildly and shipping costs on bulk paper orders often negates whatever pricing savings bulk pricing offered. Browsed Alibaba to get a close idea of what carbonless paper manufacturers were specifying — ply configuration, sheet size, coating type, and minimum order quantities all varied broadly among supplier listings for NCR paper products. Found a small business operations facebook group with some members that managed similar paper form procurement who could compare suppliers practically. Appvion carbonless paper product came up frequently as the standard for reliable image quality and consistent performance across varied writing pressures. Similar product members noted that domestic office supply wholesalers commonly provided free shipping above whatever amount of product minimums made purchases affordable overall. Consolidated a quarterly order through a wholesaler whose free shipping threshold the order naturally met after Alibaba research confirmed the per-ream pricing was competitive rather than marked up to absorb shipping discount elsewhere. Appvion paper performed as consistently as the facebook members said it does. The Alibaba pricing research gave me a solid benchmark that again made evaluating anything domestic wholesale extremely easy.
