That's very good advice. Some supply houses will simply refuse to
sell to non licensed contractors and send obvious homeowners/DIY'ers
packing. Others will sell to anyone. The bigger the city the better
your chances.
Go there when the counter isn't busy. (avoid early morning and around
lunch). If the counter is full of techs. the supply house is less
likely to sell to a homeowner. It's not like they want to refuse
business, they just don't want to piss of their loyal customers.
You'll be seen as a threat to them.
Look like a tech. Don't go there driving your BMW with little Johnny
on your shoulders wearing a golf shirt. Wear a blue work shirt and
place a small dial thermometer in the shirt pocket for all to see. A
small maglight in a holster is also a good disguise. Dirty work hands
with a few scars is also a good sign. (maybe play with a cat before
you go there)
Don't ask for any advice!! Go to their website in advance and get
their part number and ask for the part by that number. Don't ask
about the return policy or 30 day satisfaction guarantee. This isn't
Wal Mart - assume you buy it/you own it.
Try and set up a will call pickup. However they'll likely ask you for
an account #. Try saying "cash/will call" when you call.
If they get real anal and want you to be a licensed contractor then
say you're a property maintainance manager. Say you company is
"_______ Properties"/Cash Will Call.
The best way to deal with a supply house is to fax them an EPA 608
card and/or contractors license and set up a COD account. Once you
have an account number your golden.

Ever heard of a Fluke model 52 II ?
Don't need no stinking dial thermometer!
Get with the program and lose the stone ages!

"play with a cat" before you go to a supply house???
You're an idiot.

Your advice is good too, Bud.
If your hands are dirty, I think the cat scratches are not necessary,
HAHA.
I have never been turned away at a counter. The problem I've had at
the counter is the issue of price. If I just show up at the counter
with the part I will almost always be offered the "list price". To
avoid that problem I call first to "check stock" on the part,
identifying myself as (my first name) from (my last name) appliance
repairs, and then ask for the "net" price. When I'm asked "Do you have
an account?" I say "No, it's cash." Getting the parts person's name is
critical here, as when I show up at the counter I'm invariably asked
"Who quoted you THAT price?!" So, I better have the name, and the
quoted price of course. Most times I say "Joe (the phone parts guy)
quoted me $56.29 on the phone, while the counter parts guy is looking
up the part. If I'm given the gears here I say "I've already qouted MY
customer a price based on your quote to me." That almost always works
to get the quoted price.
Sincerely, BlackHawk

So your saying that lying, cheating and deception is ok......
You must be a liberal democrap.
I feel for your kids and the lessons your teaching them by your examples.
Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong......
