Internet suppliers

[sparkdog]

I am thinking of giving up my local suppliers, and getting most of my materials form internet suppliers.
They appear to have much better prices. I find that with local suppliers the cost somehow keeps mounting up
and there is a great big nasty bill at the end of the month.
Anyone else use internet suppliers or think its a good idea.

Thanks.

I buy most supplies from online suppliers, but do use a couple of local wholesalers for large or heavy goods. I've no objection to wholesalers making a profit, but can't be bothered with continually being reamed by most of them.

Prices vary depending on mood, who you deal with, time of day etc. Online you know what you're being charged and roughly when the goods will arrive. With a small amount of forward planning everything tends to run smoothly. There will be occasions when something is delivered late, but that happens regularly with wholesalers who are only two miles away.

I use both physical stores, online stores and a couple of traders that work mainly from the road and mobile phone.

Each have there place.

Yes, probably have to use the local suppliers sometimes.
