ParticipantI’m much prefer ASWO.
QT can be cheaper but the delivery from them is a bit hit and miss for times.

ParticipantHomespares and Maddocks are also worth checking out. Breadth of stock nowhere near as good as ASWO, particularly for Homespares but the service seems good.

Participantmaddocks never got it in stock, qualtex quite good on prices, aswo have good stock and if not in stock its quite quick.but prices arn`t competitive.connect just useless at the moment

ParticipantTBH speed of delivery and availability are the most important factors as prices are passed on. Thanks for advice.

KeymasterIt’s a “thing” that comes up every time the conference is on and there’s always the same answer that not many seem to appreciate, there is no one answer with what supplier to use.
None. Not one. Will fulfil all needs all of the time.
You need options on availability, price and speed.
If you hitch your wagon to one supplier I’d say that was a massive, massive error.

agree there they all have different stock profiles all seem to specilize in different manufacturers to one extent or another. Qualtex has not been the same since the start of the pandemic.They seem to have a policy of dropping you as a customer if you spend less that £60 a week. Something thats more difficult if they have no stock of what you need which happens more these days. Aswo is amazing, the even stock electronic components like the tyn or lnk power chips and let you order in ones. they often send more than one parcel for the same delivery for the same price and their delivery charge is lower than Qualtex. I have spent more with aswo this year then Qualtex although still see them as my first port of call but still cross check pricesadd connect into the list and am not sure which planet their on add to that the termoil thats going on there means their stock levels are really low.
