Building accessories, cheapest in Sweden and import from Poland

[m4x]

Hello!

We are a company focusing on suspended ceilings and are wondering where to buy the following items at the cheapest price:

- Protective clothing: shoes, assembly gloves, pants, etc.
- Quality drills for hammer drills, screwdrivers
- Machines (Laser, hammer drill, screwdriver, etc.)
- Scaffolding (small)
- Tools (Tin snips, measuring tape, saws, clamps, etc.)

I would like recommendations on (preferably those offering bulk discounts):
- Online stores
- Physical stores in Stockholm

I am also wondering if it would be profitable to go over to Poland and shop for maybe 150,000:-?

We have good prices on materials and accessories like screws here in Sweden. The problem is that a lot is bought at Flinks, which is far too expensive.

Thank you in advance.

Machines are relatively cheap in both England and Germany.

A couple of webshops in England are:

Axminister
Toolstop

Thank you, what about accessories? Where do you buy these?

Building materials in Poland are insanely cheap, take Casorama as an example: Same style as Bauhaus, but prices that are ridiculously low. I've mostly studied "interior items" like bathroom furniture, bathtubs, etc., and flooring materials like stone floors, parquet, etc., but I guess the price level is lower on other things as well. For example, I found exterior doors with frames for around 500kr.... Maybe not the most attractive in the world, but totally fine. Good insulation values too.

Machines from well-known brands are not significantly much cheaper in Poland. But everything manufactured within the country is muuuuch cheaper. I am Polish myself and have made quite a few purchases there over the years. Google a bit through Polish building stores, like castorama, and start counting.

In Poland, when they state the price like this, e.g. "280 zl netto", what do they mean by that? Excluding Polish VAT? Does anyone know?

Hi m4x,

Are you still interested in going to Poland to shop for building supplies and other items?
I actually live in Poland and am familiar with the local market, its various goods, and prices.
Get in touch. I am fluent in both Polish (my native language) and Swedish.

Best regards,
Magdalena
