Tend to look online, I normally know what I want and the brand to buy, if I use a company and they are not quick off the mark to answer a question or post the item I then look elsewhere, replying to emails is one thing quite a few online forget about, this is normally a hot lead that goes colder by the hour.
Ebay is good for some things. There are no shops around this area to buy window cleaning Equipment nearest I know is 25 odd miles away in cambridge.

Thanks for the info Ian,

Watch this space

research online, price up online, take info from this forum (although you have to trust the author's experience of the posts, which is sometimes dodgy to say the least). learn from posts who have no other motive than to help you & not to sell you anything, make his self look bigger/better/wiser & advises from experience & not theory. When i look at pics of some peoples systems on this forum i'm shocked at what i see, overkill would be a good term to explain it (let alone all the extra weight it causes) or from some supplier's eyes- trying to justify their price!
No system is rocket science, just simple diy & half a brain & you can have any system you like

Just a side point - I'm still waiting for you to let me know which end connector you'd like    (Sorry to interrupt the post)

dont know, seeing the postman with arm full of boxes is a really good feeling, seeing him going next door with them not so great 

[Chris Cottrell]

Almost all of my wfp stuff comes from an online suplier (Gardiners)

And all my trad stuff comes from a trade counter (Soap National) allthough sometimes if I havent got time to go there and I order online anyway

[windowwashers]

Gardiners, scrimcity and wintecs i use, both are Fantastic with delivery I cant fault them, always been good for me in the past. didnt get a free pen with wintecs though 

[Davew]

Gardiners, soapnational, wintecs, scrimcity all been good for me. Obviously Alex is always about which is handy.
 Some other suppliers are absolutely hopeless regarding emails - many don't answer and one seems to send dixlexic replies.

[Neil271052]

Wintecs, excellent and a free pen.

I would say only 20% order on the net, 30% phone and 50% collect it from the supplier. Just remember only a small portion of window cleaners go on line, look at this forum if all went on line then we would probably have 1000 users on this forum.

[Dean Aspects]

I get most of my stuff from Cleantech as they have always been good to me
met Mike in ikea Glasgow last week and he recognised me came over to speak to me and hes only met me twice
I have also ordered off ebay aswell but not too often

Alot of window cleaners go online and dont go on forums but order online, I would say it is well over 20% that order online

[Ian W]

I get most of my stuff from a small local supplier, but I buy online when it isn't in stock. I have tried a few online suppliers and they have always been helpful to me.

[Davew]

No, i would say fifty one percent at the moment buy on line (just click on view results of pole).

[brett walker]

For my trad gear ive got a local shop also use window cleaning warehouse i have also found gardiners excellent and will be ordering a new pole in the next couple of weeks.  When i need a professional trolley i go to pure freedom i have also used ebay for stuff

I also keep my eye on the forums for sale section
