Default How many Wholesalers do you deal with?

Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.

I was just going through a few wholesalers sites. Currently I am planning stock from Got Lingerie, but then I see others.... and so the snowball continues. I thought I was only looking at holding stock for lingerie but then found great shoes. I can see this business is going to be an expensive one for me.

So I was just wondering how many wholesalers do you use. Not who but how many do you deal with at one time.

4 main ones, with another 8 - 10 as backup in case my main places can't supply.

I've generally just stuck with using one or two in the past. It's always good to look elsewhere however for the occasional cheap bit of stock.

At the moment I'm using 8 for the store. I can always use some back up. Every year I lose a wholesale do to them going bankrupt. I had one who cover 4 of my wholesalers.

We use 3 most of the time but our best 1 supplies most of our customers and are a real gem but on occasions we have to use the other two if they run out of stocks and have another 10 or so we can fall back on.

But we will soon not be selling our phones in 1's we are moving into wholesale with minimum orders of 50/100 units so watch this space we may well be your preferred seller very soon.
