VWR stockrooms

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

I’m not sure how the ordering is done at other institutions but here it is in your BEST interest to order just about everything from VWR. If you order from anyone other than VWR, you have to submit your order to the purchasing department who then assigns a PO number, orders it and hopefully…in two to three days you receive it.
Now if you order from VWR it is totally different. I can simply log into the VWR website and order as little or as much as I want (no spending limit) and all with free shipping. We have a VWR stockroom here on campus so you can even get items the same day. I know other institutions have VWR stockrooms but does somebody like Fisher have stockrooms on a campus.
I guess my real question is…how did VWR get all these stockrooms and why aren’t other companies fighting back.
