For me I only use Topps. After 16 months of being a tiler I have built up a relationship with my local branch. I am now one of their Topps Approved fitters. My loyalty to then has brought me a lot of calls from customers for quotes (because my cards are being given out by Topps). I don't hunt around for special prices. However, if I saw a good deal on a product I use I would go out of the way and purchase it from wherever. BTW has anyone logged onto the Topps Trade website (link on normal website). You can check out your trade discounts online. Very useful when pricing jobs. So I think it's a good idea to compare prices or just have a thread titled 'Materials - special deals/prices' or something like that. Good idea BAL Sean
