How we chose Discount Plastic Bags as the best supplier of Ziplock Bags
When we surveyed suppliers of ziplock bags we expected there to be small differences
between the competition. We were surprised to find a leader in this unassuming supplier of
ziplock bags, poly bags, and packaging materials. Discount Plastic Bags was, well, low
priced and EASY. We love their live chat feature – one click and we could get an instant
answer to our questions about ziplock bags without the hassles of talking to someone.
When we did call them, the line was answered by an English speaking person who was friendly
and incredibly knowledgeable. Unlike the competition, their account rep. gave more than one
word answers – they asked what we using it for and gave recommendations to sizing and
saving money. Their site, while not glamorous (neither was the their competition), was very
easy to navigate and their selection was 30% to 50% larger than anyone else we surveyed.
***UPDATE*** 8/11/2009
Discount Plastic Bags took a jump over their competition by adding a 30 day money back guarantee. We like this a lot – so much so that we replaced one of our categories to include whether a supplier has a guarantee. We hope to see other suppliers up the ante. Royal Bags also has this guarantee, but is kind of vague in it’s description, which makes us nervous.
Did our winner really deserve 5 Stars? How did you determine the ratings?
Our rating system was determined by researching the market for the best suppliers of ziplock bags. Once we found our winner in any one category, they were assigned a 5 Star rating. Then we rated the competition in that category in relation to the category winner. If a competitor came very close to the winner’s performance in that category, we gave them an equal rating in stars. When a merchant receives a 5 Star rating it does not necessarily mean that they have no room for improvement, but rather that they were judged to be or meet the highest standards we observed in that category.
