    Hello. Hope i find you all well.

    We are looking into taking on jobs on our own now instead of fully relying on contractors.

    Is it best to use distributors/wholesalers or go directly to the manufacturers?

    Thanks

    Jon.

    Bit of both Jon.
    Some accounts you won't be able to get yet.
    What flooring do you mainly want to by / sell

    Same for me, I have some direct accounts, but mostly through distribution.
    Often, I can get a better deal through distribution, than going direct, plus you can get a next day service for most products

    Thanks for the replies both. We mainly fit carpet tiles, carpet and vinyl at present commercially. We are venturing into more domestic work currently as well and we keep getting asked for samples but no idea where to get these from? From manufacturers or distributors? Also, which distributor do you guys recommend?
