Topps Tiles trade prices going up

[newton&stockley]

can anyone tell me if their trade account prices have also doubled with bal adhesives?

 

[Stewart]

Haven't a clue mate as I've never even seen a Topps Tiles from the inside, but I'm sure someone will know.

 

[Alan.P]

Couldn't say, plus pricing isn't allowed in this part of the forum.

 

[newton&stockley]

i dont have time to go on forums constantly.... too busy tiling. Green star was XX 15kg now about XX never right

Maybe it is time to switch suppliers.. those prices are crazy..

they dont give you full trade if you havent been in regularly enough, therefore they may have put your prices up mate. Many other tile merchants dont do this such as Tile Giant and CTD to name a few.

Perhaps take your custom elswhere, Topps have good products available to buy but they need to learn that their way of trading with tradesman leaves many of us upset and in my opinion need to change.

My mate sent his customer to topps today to get his grout with his trae card and they wouldnt give it to him, charged him full retail

i've used topps for quite a few years now never had any problems, although i do agree they can be a bit pricey with certain things. as of the bal adhesives, i bought some stuff this week and the prices have been the same as before

 

[newton&stockley]

think you are all right, need for a change. Shame thou I do prefer to use bal

 

[kevin67]

if there's a ctd near you they stock bal products too

Scott said this many times topps charge a lot more than retail

offered to get a client 30m of slate from topps,promising them a trade discount.to be fair,it wasnt worth the petrol money going

Same here, not quite 30m but supplied 3m of metro tiles today. I was hoping for slightly more than the £4 discount I got!!
