FAQs
- Will I see trade prices for all suppliers immediately?
- No, in this market different resellers pay different prices for the same product form the same supplier. Therefore there is not just one set trade price - but hundreds. To see your buy price you have to apply to each supplier and be approved to see prices. However about 20 of the whoelsalers - particularly parts suppliers show prices to anyone who applies and you are immediately approved. We also provide guide trade prices on our product detail page.
- Are the prices I see that same as those I would get on the suppliers web site?
- Yes, the prices you see are your personalized, negotiated prices according to your agreements with your suppliers.
- I don’t buy from UK distribution. Can I see trade prices?
- No. The suppliers have to approve your application to see prices, so if you are not a reseller you will not see prices.
- How long does it take to get set up?
- The distributors should set you up within 48 hours of your application.
- Do I need to apply to each of my suppliers?
- Yes, you need to apply to each of your suppliers individually via Stock in the Channel.
