Online suppliers

[deanibusmaximus]

Please would anyone be able to recommend a good on-line supplier for decorating products including Paints, Zinsser primers, and equiptment.

Since I trained and went into business a couple of years ago, I have been using local builders merchants. I dont have a specialist supplier near me.
I get reasonable discounts on Jonstones paints locally, but I think I probably could do better for most stuff buying from an on-line supplier.

However, Service is just as important as price so am eager to get feedback on some sites please.

The main players I use are:

Decorating Warehouse, Decorating Direct and Trade 1st but I have recently been put into contact with TDS (Trade Decorating Supplies) by the MD of Owatrol UK after searching for one of their products (RA.85) and being unable to find it - apparently they are/were the only stockists. I've only ordered a few times from them but their service was great (next day delivery) and their prices on some products unbeatable. However, as with most suppliers, some of their product prices are a bit steep so you just have to compare each of them.
