Where To Buy Basswood Blinds?
So we have stated a basswood blinds post series and in this part of the series I will explain you where you should purchase your blinds to get the most bang for your buck. This means simply that you will get the highest quality blinds with least the trouble and less money spent. Keep in mind that you will save some money if you do some work, but if you aren’t ready to do that you aren’t going to save that much. So the best thing to do is to either stop reading or realize that your best option might just be one mouse click away.
Most people already know this, but even so I will write it here. You can always get the best deals online! Why is this? Well if you think about it in a reverse way it can be easily understood.
Normally when you purchase your blinds at a local dealership, you will be paying for a lot of people instead of just the merchant. First of all they have to pay their rent – this is a normal part of business, but if they are in a good location, they are paying a lot more rent than a storage building in the middle of nowhere, where they are shipping the blinds directly to you. This will add up to the prices alone, but also a real life store will have employees – a lot more than an online store.
They have to order basswood blinds somewhere, and this is where the wholesellers come to play. They are usually the companies that have that big building in a bad location, and they have a lot of selection and a lot of different blinds, but they don’t have the store area where customers can go and visit them – they are specialized in selling these blinds to professionals who know what they are ordering. These companies buy the blinds directly from the manufacturer, or instead they are purchasing them from a distributor. All these steps, there is someone making money in the middle, and the more people and companies there are between the manufacturer and the end user, the more times the price multiplies. Usually it gets multiplied by two between each company.
So the manufacturer might have a $5 manufacturing cost for their product which is quite normal. They will sell these basswood blinds to a distributor who does a lot of marketing for these wooden blinds and shades – they might also have quite a lot more window related products in their selection such as shutters and shades. The selling price will be $10.
The wholeseller will usually buy the product at $20, because the distributor will also have to pay for storing these blinds and they will also pay their employees their montly salary. They don’t want to be involved in selling directly to the consumer, as that would mean a lot more work and it would also raise the prices.
When your local store gets the blinds they are going to pay $40-50 for them depending on the amount they want to keep in store – if they are a big company they might get a good deal and go for under $40 especially if they have been regularly using the window blinds wholeseller. And when you go to them, you will see a price tag that can be $70-100, and this is all because the blinds have been shipped around and stored everywhere.
So if you want to get the best deals on basswood blinds, you need to look at cutting out the middle man, and look for online stores that purchase directly from the manufacturer. They don’t need these extra steps as usually they have that large storage building somewhere, and they can actually afford to buy in bulk, because they can just store them in the shelves, without the extra trouble of thinking about presentation – they will just snap a few pictures and put them on their website, and start selling blinds!
