A Third Party? And Why Our Prices Are Higher Than In-Store
Congratulations—you’ve made it here after reading our disclaimer. First things first: reselling goods is perfectly legal. We buy, sell, and ship a lot, and the brands we carry know exactly what we do.
Now, one of the most common questions we get is: Why are items priced higher here than at the store? Some folks don’t mind the markup, others are curious, and a few aren’t too happy. So, let’s clear things up.
We’re Not Buc-ee’s
Howdy Bitez isn’t Buc-ee’s—or any of the brands we resell—we’re an independent third-party reseller. We make this clear on every page of our site, including the homepage.
If you’ve compared our price to the retail tag and noticed a difference, that’s because we’re a business, just like any other retailer. The markup is what keeps our doors open. Without it, we couldn’t keep bringing Texas favorites straight to your doorstep.
We’re not shy about this—it’s part of how small businesses survive and grow. That original price tag? That’s what we paid. But to cover our costs and continue serving y’all, we need to add a little extra.
What Goes Into Our Pricing?
Running Howdy Bitez takes a lot more than just picking something off the shelf. Here’s a peek at what your purchase supports:
-
Wages – Paying our team to shop, pack, and ship
-
Logistics – Transporting goods to our warehouse
-
Warehouse costs – Storing and managing inventory
-
Software – Keeping everything running smoothly
-
Taxes & insurance – Handling the essentials
-
Processing fees – Ensuring secure, reliable transactions
