Electrical Suppliers - Who do you use the most on and offline?

[Dan]

This thread is now closed, the poll has been created here: http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk...ctrical-suppliers-electrical-wholesalers.html - feel free to add more electrical suppliers and electrical wholesalers to the new thread, we'll keep this old one closed.




Would like to get a poll running on this but need all the options first.

So could you all list the main three companies you use, online and / or offline. Doesn't really matter.

If you want to, give a short reason why.

I'll then collate the results in a week or so and create a poll so we can get voting for the most used electrical suppliers by our forum members.

Cheers

Dan

Edmundsons 60%
Electricfix. 30%
TLC the rest for internet orders.

As self employed gotta keep an eye on Eddys prices and moan at them occasionally!
Electric fix I often click and collect as nice and quick.
TLC I wish were up norf also, I like their prices and attitude to service a lot. They also have gear the others don't I find.

Eddies around here at least have the widest range of stock, I can't stand phoning 4 other wholesalers to find they all haven't got something, so Eddies are usually my first call. But TheGayOwl is right you have to keep an eye on them. It's good to spread purchases around them all, let's you know if someone is trying to pull the wool.

[Aindowsimon]

Eddies 60%

Links 30%

Elecfix/screwfix 5%

Senate 5%

The top 2 have best service bar non.
Senate keep good gear but service is slow and staff aren't all that clued up . Electrfix/screwfix great for open Sunday and open late also I like that you are paying the same as other sparks

 

[Megavolt]

Eddys 60%
yess 20%
EDC local independent 20%

 

[Judgeshred39]

YESSS - 70% of the time.
CEF - 30% of the time.

It was the other way round but as of the last 2 months the more I use yesss they seem to be killing all competition on prices. I have heard its because the head honchos have said they don't mind making a loss their first year... although maybe malicious rumours.

From N.Ireland so both screwfix and Yesss are both quite new over here... recently I have been using both along with Edmundson Electrical (WS Mercer)

1 Screwfix 60% (Quite like them - but keep buying new tools when I go for cable/ switch gear etc lol)

2 WS Mercer 35% - Fast, efficient, reliable, good price & good products

3 Yesss 5%- hmmm,.. slow, poor brands & can be expensive
