Important information on Closeouts

We feel it is important to tell you of the fact that far too many candy distributors in Canada whom are offering low low cost specials are misrepresenting the product that they are selling. The reason they are able to offer ridiculously low pricing is due to the fact that they buy and sell stale/ old close out goods. Some times the goods may even be stolen goods. We at Old time Confections do not buy any questionable goods of any kind and therefore cannot be expected to compete with those prices being offered on goods that were no cost to someone else. We would rather pay market value and be selling good merchandize that is not going to be an issue.. The sad part is most of these companies are not telling the retailer that the reason for the deal is that the goods are a close out. Every close out has a story. Is every story reliable and true is the question? The Fact is close outs cannot be trusted. Some close out companies advertise that is what they are and when that is the case the customer knows what they are getting. The crime is not all of these companies are telling the retailer that close outs are what they specialize in and what they are offering. When this Is the case the retailer is unknowingly selling old and therefore stale candy and yet the end consumer becomes very aware as soon as they buy something stale, as they try to eat it. They will then think everything in the store is stale. When this happens will that consumer that bought stale candy complain? Some will complain, and some will just tell 10 or more friends and never come back into the store again. Selling old stale candy is probably the number one reason for candy stores struggling along and eventually going out of business. Once the reputation of having old stale product is set in the minds of customers, it is hard if not impossible to win back your customers that had stale old candy from your store.

At Old Time Confections we do not buy close outs.

This means we do not buy old goods that are stale or past code, our goods are fresh, we also do not buy stolen goods.

Some items we sell have short dates and that is only on the one or two items that even though we have still bought fresh at the time of being made, yet they only have a short time to be able to be sold. Again that is only one or two of our items, the rest of our line you will have a very long time for selling through.

Cheap pricing on food items is not a deal if the goods are stale. If you see a product that has a market value of over $1.00 and upward of $1.50 being sold for .20 cents you shouldn't need to be told something is wrong. What we are trying to tell you is if a company offers you pricing that is very low or below market value, your alarm should be going off, both to beware of that product that they are offering you, and then to beware of them all together because that likely means most of the goods they sell are close out. So you should beware of everything they sell. Closeouts are great when they are not food, but food items should never be purchased when they are closeouts, and therefore old.

We at Old Time Confections will never risk illness being caused to a person, due to irresponsible selling of goods that should be in the trash can, and nor should you .
