One major factor you should consider would be the cost of transportation. When selecting a wholesaler, ensure it is a place close to you. This would help reduce the cost of transportation.

Each wholesaler will determine different prices for goods, so you have to be smart in choosing the type of product at a cheap wholesaler, besides that, you also have to consider the expiration date of many products from wholesalers that are almost expired.

Every businessman would go for the wholesaler that sells on cheaper prices and that provides the free transportation of goods as the after sale services.

There. You have spoken the absolute truth because fares and transportation can eat up all your business profits. If you find a local dealer, you reduce costs and save a lot of time traveling around the city. That is the smart idea of ensuring that you have plenty of money in your pocket every time you go to pick up a new load for your customers.

You hit on a critical point that's often overlooked. A supplier's customer service isn't just a nice extra; it's a core part of your own operational reliability. When a problem arises, their speed and willingness to solve it directly prevents your own inventory and sales from stalling. That quick support keeps your business moving seamlessly.
