We have 3 great vendors in our area, Worldpac, Altrom and Autocamping. Altrom recently purchased Autocamping, but both will operate as independent businesses. The reps we get to deal with are all fantastic and understand our business and do whatever they can ensure we purchase from them.

We purchase from Worldpac the most and have worked with them to have them improve their inventory on things we tend to need over the last 4 years. We purchase enough volume from all of them to be on the lowest pricing schedule. That said I do understand the basic philosophy they all have to reward the clients that cross thresholds of purchasing. However, if you have been a loyal customer that has reached the thresholds in the past, have been easy to deal with (not to many returns, pleasant to deal with etc) and they feel your business with them will pick up in the long term, it would make sense for them to continue to offer their best pricing.

Call the district manager and have a chat with them...

Cheers
