Hey R.N.:
That's really a tough question to answer. Because what may seem high in price to some may to low to someone else. I've found that most distributors that are local to you price their cups just high enough to make a good profit. While at the same time discourage you from ordering out of state especially if the shipping costs exceeds their higher price even by a fraction. You could have your own cups made, however, that is quite expensive in the beginning. But the reorders will be less. For example we sell a case of our Solo custom printed 8 oz hot cups for $38 per case of 1,000. However, the shipping cost for that case may be from $18-$25 to ship that case. But getting back to your original question. I like Solo, it's a good cup and not that expensive. :wink:
