I’d have to guess that Avient can skirt around the government law suits for Monopoly possibly something to due to Avian parent Co being more than just apparel inks. ??

They are invading more than inks, they “took” my wife too!
She just started working for them few months back!  ;D ;D ;D

We buy directly of Wilflex/Avient. We can order either through their China based manufacturing location or through their US facility. 30% of their standard list price. Even if we ship with FedEx we are still way better of then going through our distributor here in Japan. It does help to have an inside man/woman though to get this kind of a set up. Downside of ordering direct are the long leads times. Especially right now we have been waiting for a month for our order to be ready for shipping.
