Have you ever taken a minute to consider just how good The Paint Shed actually is? You can take suppliers for granted, but the logistics of running an operation like theirs must be complicated to say the least.
The Paint Shed were the first supplier to have a website with a comprehensive range of trade paints. You can go online and order almost any trade product from any brand. The prices are so competitive that Decorators used them to negotiate better prices at other trade counters. It still happens now. I see Decorators with trade accounts asking merchants local to me to price match The Paint Shed.
Sometimes I think, “you may as well just order from The Paint Shed instead of getting the price matched”. The website is quick and easy to use, and they’ve got a wider range of products than almost every other trade supplier I know of. This is important to me, simply because like most modern Decorators, I use products from loads of different brands. Shopping somewhere like The Paint shed means I can get everything in one place.
I’m not local to them. I know they have 21 stores in Scotland, but I’m about 4-hours away from the closest one. It doesn’t matter though because they have free next day delivery on orders over £50. Everything I’ve had from them has been really well packed, so I haven’t had a single damaged tin.
Another reason I like using them is their pallet deals; All you need to do is send them a quick email on customerservices@thepaintshed.com. Just tell them where you are and what you need, then they come back with a price. This just saves you paying shelf price when you have a big job on.
These are just my thoughts anyway. If you use them yourself, I’d be very interested in what you think. If you don’t then maybe you should give them a go.
banging place mate.. use them myself and I’m all the way down plymouth. and always get it next day… massive range at great price.. always will to help.. well said Mike đź‘Ź
