Hi Guys, just finished my tiling course which i really enjoyed. I'm going to stay in my old job whilst i do tiling evengings and weekends for the short term.
I went in to Topps Tiles the other day explaining that i had just completed my course and was looking to open a trade account with them. The guy behind the counter explained that they couldn't give me a trade account without being VAT registered, i'm not going to become VAT registered for the forseeable future because i'm only doing evenings and weekends. Just feel a bit stuck at the moment as i don't want to pay full retail price for all the products i buy from them..
Any advice would be great!
Thanks peeps.:thumbsup:
 
i need topps help to, braintree essex said i need to prove i have accounts with two other shops, harlow said i needed to prove i 4 jobs on the go at once, the shop i would use most is cambridge, i want to use them but they seem not bothered to help me, at the moment im using a builders merchant, so they are getting my tile sales(i send the cust there) help if poss, cheers Ben
 
A Topps i tried said they needed a VAT number to which i replied i wasnt VAT registered. Sighed and said there is nothing he can do. Spoke with Gaz on here who told me the bloke is talking crap so tried another Topps and explained my situation, just out of the Army, no other Trade accounts etc etc
His reply?

"Just bring in something like a bloody B and Q receipt showing you bought spacers or something and a business card and will sort you out no problems"
and he did.

When Screwfix started selling Rubis i went into Topps and said i would like a new Rubi but pointed at the promise of beating a price by 5%. Stood there for about 10 minutes while the lad serving me phoned around trying to get the Screwfix price. Lad who sorted my account came out from the back and asked how i was getting on with work etc etc then told the lad to beat the Screwfix price by 15%. Was well happy.

Took my Mother in law in Topps today to look at wooden flooring, once again great again, gave me full trade discount on the flooring.

Can't speak highly enough of my local Topps, tile place closer to me that i can get adhesives from slightly cheaper but i am happy to travel that extra mile or so and pay that extra one pound because of the great service and chat that i get from there.

Always going to get bad managers etc in any business but the one in my Topps really goes out of his way to help you as does his staff. 10 out of 10
:hurray:
 
seafield where i had problems with two little mr attitudes!!! i suspect they wiped my trade account!!!

daj54 great lot at sighthill, very helpful.
 
HI.Im also having probs getting trade account with Topps in Hull. They tell me I must produce Liability insurance to open one up.I have bought lots of things from them already.Seems strange when I hear that other tilers just need a couple of vat reciepts from other stores.

Bit strange wanting to see your insurance but if thats what he wants then just show it him mate.
