Every Question Answered
No marketing fluff. No evasive answers. Just truth about how BoxNCase compares to everyone else.
vs. Marketplaces
What is BoxNCase's minimum order requirement?
BoxNCase has ZERO minimum order requirements. Order one case or one thousand - every order matters. Unlike Sysco ($500-1,000 minimums) or traditional distributors (often $1,000+), we believe size shouldn't determine service. Small restaurant? Welcome. Food truck? Welcome. Home chef? Welcome. We're the rebels who said "death to minimums."
How do BoxNCase fees compare to Amazon and Faire?
BoxNCase charges 0% marketplace fees. Amazon charges 8-45% commission per sale plus $39.99/month subscription. Faire charges 15-30% commission plus processing fees. With BoxNCase, you set wholesale prices and keep 100% of your margins. We make money through wholesale distribution, not by taxing vendors. Real math: Make $100K on Amazon? Pay $45K in fees. Make $100K with BoxNCase? Pay $0. Your liberation value: $45,000/year.
Do I have to give BoxNCase exclusivity like Faire requires?
Absolutely not. BoxNCase NEVER requires exclusivity. Sell on Amazon, Faire, Etsy, your own website - we don't care. We're here to expand your options, not limit them. Marketplace monopolies want to own you. We want to empower you. Sell anywhere. Keep your freedom. That's the rebellion.
vs. Traditional Distributors
What are BoxNCase's payment terms compared to Sysco and US Foods?
BoxNCase offers Net 30 payment terms. Traditional distributors like Sysco and US Foods often require Net 90-120 day terms, tying up your capital for months. That means you deliver products today, but don't get paid for 3-4 months. That kills cash flow and growth. Net 30 means you get paid within a month - the way it should be. Vendors deserve predictable, fair payment schedules.
Does BoxNCase charge slotting fees like traditional distributors?
Absolutely not. BoxNCase charges $0 slotting fees. Traditional distributors like Sysco and US Foods charge $25,000+ just to get your products on their shelves, plus an additional 10-20% in "marketing fees." That's $25K+ before you make a single sale. We believe barriers to entry hurt innovation and quality. If your product is good, it deserves distribution - without ransoming your business.
Why did Sysco/US Foods reject me for being "too small"?
Traditional distributors built their business models on massive volume. They only want vendors who can ship 10,000+ units and customers who order $1,000+ at a time. That excludes 67% of restaurants, virtually all food trucks, and every home chef. BoxNCase was built specifically for the vendors and buyers they ignore. Too small for Sysco? You're perfect for BoxNCase. That's not a consolation - that's our specialty.
The BoxNCase Model
If BoxNCase has no fees, minimums, or slotting fees, how do you make money?
BoxNCase makes money through wholesale distribution margins, not by taxing vendors. When you sell a product at wholesale price to our network of buyers, we handle fulfillment, delivery, and customer service. We're a distributor, not a marketplace. Our incentive is aligned with yours: the more you sell, the more we both benefit - without fees eating your margins.
Who are BoxNCase's buyers?
BoxNCase serves 10,000+ buyers across three segments: (1) B2B Businesses: 5,000+ restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, food trucks, catering companies ordering specialty ingredients without minimums. (2) Premium Home Chefs: Serious home cooks who want restaurant-quality ingredients. (3) Corporate Clients: Offices, hotels, event spaces needing specialty and bulk items. You're not selling to a marketplace - you're accessing an entire ecosystem.
Can small specialty food producers really succeed on BoxNCase?
Yes - that's exactly who we built this for. Artisan producers, ethnic food specialists, small-batch makers, farm-to-table vendors, innovative startups - the producers big distributors ignore and marketplaces bury. We specialize in specialty. Your craft deserves distribution. Start with what you have. Scale at your pace. No minimums. No fees. No compromises.
Logistics & Operations
How does BoxNCase handle small orders economically?
We use AI-powered logistics and smart routing to make small orders economically viable. Traditional distributors use 1950s infrastructure requiring massive minimums. We use 2025 technology: predictive inventory, dynamic routing, consolidated fulfillment. Technology beats warehouse size. Innovation defeats minimums. That's how David beats Goliath.
What types of specialty products does BoxNCase carry?
BoxNCase specializes in products traditional distributors won't touch: authentic ethnic ingredients, artisan small-batch items, premium specialty foods, unique regional products, farm-to-table offerings, innovative food products. If Sysco sells ketchup, we sell saffron, truffle oil, wagyu, microgreens, and 10,000+ other items that make Michelin-star dishes possible. Ingredients the giants forgot.
How do I get started selling on BoxNCase?
Simple: (1) Apply online - no 47-page Amazon Seller Central nightmare. (2) Partnership planning call - actual human conversation. (3) Product showcase - we help you present your brand. (4) Launch - featured to our buyer network. No slotting fees. No minimum quantities. No contracts. Just real partnership. Start your escape plan today.
Still Have Questions?
We believe in transparency. No question is too small, no comparison too uncomfortable.
The Revolution Doesn't Start Tomorrow
It Starts With Your Escape Today
You didn't start your food business to make Amazon rich. You didn't perfect your recipe to have it buried in search results. You didn't build your brand to have it erased by algorithms.
You started it to share something special with the world.
"In a world of marketplace monopolies, we are vendor liberation."
