Looking at the bottom line can be quite deceiving. If you look
at four bids, it will be easy to see which vendor is offering the
lowest overall price, but this doesn’t mean it is the lowest price
possible for the materials you need.
As you just learned, not all suppliers can sell the same
products for the same price and make a profit even if they
wanted to. There are usually some items that can be bought for
less money at competitive suppliers.

By shopping the bids in phases, you will find the best prices
available. You might have to deal with six different suppliers to
save the most money, but you won’t lose much time in doing
so. There is nothing wrong in dealing with multiple suppliers.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
What’s included in each of the bids that you are comparing? Have
all the suppliers included the sales tax on their bids? Generally,
some suppliers will and others won’t, and this can make a sizable
difference in the bottom line. If the materials for your remodeling
job will cost $10,000 and the sales tax in your area is 6 percent,
the supplier who has included the cost of the tax will appear to
be $600 higher than the suppliers who didn’t include the tax. This
situation is common and one you should look out for.

Will the suppliers deliver the materials for the prices quoted?
This may not be a big deal if you have a truck and are only
buying a few items, but if you are ordering for your whole job,
delivery can be a problem and an expensive one at that. Most
suppliers will deliver free of charge within a certain radius of
their warehouse, but this is a question you should find the
answer to before making a commitment.

Are the items you want regular in-stock items? If a supplier
is quoting a job with materials that are not normally stocked,
you may be faced with delays and extra hidden costs. When
the supplier doesn’t stock an item, you may have to pay for the
shipping charges to have the item delivered to the supplier. It
is unlikely that the supplier will reveal this expense in a competitive
bid.
