The decision to bring in Mexican Beach Pebbles isn’t a simple one. As a premium product in the commodity-driven landscape supply space, you’re making the decision to reach out to a different type of customer with a different type of product. There’s an inherent risk whenever you bring in a new type of product.
In business, it always comes down to de-risking those decisions. How can you best guarantee that the vendor you choose will be the right one?
To help, here are Five Questions to Ask Your Stone Supplier. By asking these questions, you’ll uncover some nuances about the various dealers in the space and be better able to find the right supplier for your needs.
Is Your Product in Stock?
Many so-called wholesalers don’t actually sell Mexican Beach Pebbles. Instead, they sell promises to get you product. But not with Wholesale Stone Solutions (WSS). We inventory everything. Not only that, but we share that inventory with our customers online. If you’re talking to another dealer, ask what’s in stock.
Having a reliable and transparent inventory system ensures that you can plan your projects without the fear of unexpected delays. WSS prides itself on providing real-time inventory updates, allowing you to make informed decisions quickly.
Do You Offer a Wide Range of Sizes?
One of the secrets of great hardscaping is to have many options for sizing. By having a wide range of sizes, you’re enabling customers to use the product in a way that best serves their needs, often blending various sizes to get the perfect look.
For instance, WSS’ Black Mexican Beach Pebbles come in seven sizes, ranging from buttons (average size ¾”) to massive ‘pineapples’, up to 12” in diameter. This variety allows for creative flexibility in design, ensuring that every project can achieve the desired aesthetic and functional outcome.
Can I Get a Sample?
Yes – and you should. It proves the dealer is in the business and not just acting like a middleman. At WSS, we’re happy to ship samples to you of any of our products. You could even ask Jose De La Roca, WSS’ sales representative, to take you on a FaceTime tour of the yard! We’ve got nothing to hide.
Requesting a sample is crucial for assessing the quality and suitability of the pebbles for your specific project. With WSS, you can confidently evaluate the texture, color, and overall appearance before making a bulk purchase.
Are You a Middle Man?
There is nothing inherently wrong with using distributors; however, it is important to be aware of some potential drawbacks. By definition, distributors distribute. They can be less concerned about product quality and typically have little control over it. Furthermore, because they exist in the middle of the value chain, there can be a temptation to cut corners, resulting in lower quality products, higher freight costs, or sometimes both.
In contrast, direct suppliers like Wholesale Stone Solutions ensure a higher standard of quality control and accountability. By sourcing directly from the origin, we maintain stringent quality checks and offer competitive pricing without the hidden costs associated with middlemen. This direct relationship allows us to deliver superior products with consistent quality and reliability.
Can I Count on You?
Wholesale Stone Solutions has roots dating back three generations. In rock years, that’s nothing. But in business years, it’s amazing. With WSS, customers buy with certainty, knowing that they’re dealing with an experienced supplier with a transparent ordering process with samples at the ready.
Trust is paramount when dealing with premium products like Mexican Beach Pebbles. Our long-standing history and dedication to customer satisfaction mean you can count on us to deliver not just products, but peace of mind. Our transparent processes and robust support ensure that your needs are met efficiently and professionally.
