Sideways Steve 10 Posted August 3, 2011 Hey just wondered how people here manage to buy from TPS as when you view their website its trade only ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Steve, it does but i think it best to actually go along to a local branch and see them face to face, mine are no problem and often order stuff for a few hundred quid without advance payment. I have heard some dont like dealing with general public though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted August 3, 2011 The secret is not go in with a small value (£) order 1st time. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy 0 Posted August 3, 2011 I can't get a trade account out of the Portsmouth branch, I ask every time, spent over a grand in there in total. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n3p 3 Posted August 3, 2011 Depends on the staff at my local... 90% are fine though. Don't have any problems now, I have a trade account through my limited company...a one man band! :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Fake Cockney accent, overalls and a sharp intake of breath at every price quoted and most people will accept you as trade ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_B 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Our local club set up a cash account with our local TPS and main dealer. I think you will often struggle getting a credit account as a non trade customer. Don't see why they couldnt do a cash on collection account for you though. I'm now working on getting mine delivered to me next! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sideways Steve 10 Posted August 4, 2011 Im thinking I may just try and get an account using my limited company from when I was working contract as I still have all the paperwork etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
