Commercial plumbing products like fixtures, tools, and other supplies can be expensive when they are purchased from retail stores. Instead of choosing a retail store that marks up their prices, plumbers can often save money by using wholesale distributors that offer discounts on bulk purchases. When you contact the plumbing fixtures and supplies wholesalers that are listed in the online directory, you might want to ask them how long they have been in business. Those with several years of experience in the industry often have access to a wider range of heavy duty tools, fittings, faucets, and other products. Since they have been in the industry for a long time, they might also be able to offer you services that newer companies cannot supply. If you know what types of fittings, fixtures, and other plumbing products that you typically use for toilets, steel sinks, gas lines, shower drains, hot water heaters, and other products, then you might want to make sure that the companies you contact keep these in stock so that they can supply you with reorders whenever you need them. You might also want to look for a company, though, that can supply you with plumber supplies that you do not use frequently so that you will always have access to them if you need them. Ask the companies what levels of customer services they can offer you too. Some will give you services like free shipping and handling when you make bulk orders that exceed a certain dollar amount.
