you can all sleep better knowing that cal-pac is now out of business. I worked for them for about 10+ years as an independant sales contractor. I was always honest with my customers, cal-pac on the other hand was not. As sales rep we are required to take 10% undercharge against comission if we promise the cust no-freight. Many times i would do just that & when i called back cust to re-sell, they would tell me there was freight charges. I always threw in something for free on their next order in most cases. Of course cal-pac charged me the cost of free item off my check. Either way they cant lose. They collected freight from cust as well as charge sales rep 10%. there is always a few "bad apples" in every barrel. Unfortunately I was a "good apple" in a bad barrel! I worked for them up until 2 weeks ago when they closed their doors with no notice. I didnt even get my last check. They said they were going to hold my last check to cover any returned items that may come back during the next 6 months due to the fact we are paid comission in advance(we get paid comission before cust gets bill). In closing, I made very good money because I had a good repore with my customer base. I am currently selling for one of their competitors & i'm very pleased so far with my customers feedback. sincerely, "The Tool Man"
