Ground drain at Byggmax?

[pappskallen]

I had to pay exactly the same price as Byggmax at my supplier for 200 sqm celloplast, as well as the standard price for home delivery. This proved to me that Byggmax is the price leader.

Byggmax often sells the same quality at a lower price than the big stores, which only match their price when pressured and have to deliver large volumes. But then they only go down to Byggmax prices. Not a penny lower, at least where I build.

The construction industry is completely crazy without competition - at least where we build. Therefore, I try to encourage the only price competition that exists by shopping at Byggmax (when the quality is comparable)

The problem, however, is that they've cherry-picked and have a very narrow range compared to most of the big players. I would also like to hear their comment when you want to order a special product; often that's when the big construction store fits. Swings and roundabouts..............

The neighbor who is a plumber had heard from his wholesalers that Byggmax sources its ground sewage pipes from Italy and that they are not very durable. A wholesaler had heard from contractors who came to a construction project where Byggmax ground sewage pipes had previously been used, and they had cracked from the pressure in the ground/settling in the ground. Can this really be true? I myself am planning to use Byggmax ground sewage pipes and drainage pipes when draining around the house. Is it safe to do so now when hearing things like this... although it's clear that wholesalers tell these stories because they want to sell...

If you don't have too far to RinkabyRör (also available in Jönköping) and can pick up yourself, you can get Swedish? drainage pipes at a cheaper price than Byggmax....

Last time I shopped there it was Pipelife...

I've been using byggmax pipes and they seem to work great. I drive over them with the excavator (small 3-tonner) and they hold up. The ones I have I'm almost sure are marked with a Swedish manufacturer but that can surely vary around the country.

It was a wholesaler who heard from contractors who came to a construction project where Byggmax ground drainage pipes had been used previously, and they had cracked under ground pressure/land settlement. Can this really be true? I'm planning to use Byggmax ground drainage pipes and drainage pipes when draining around the house. Should I dare now when hearing things like this... but of course, wholesalers tell these stories because they want to sell....

Naturally, an urban legend like many others. It would never be economical to transport cheap pipes that far. (Basically the same distance as Kiruna to Malmö)

If I understand correctly, the orange pipes are made of somewhat inferior plastic, they cannot withstand hot water. The gray ones do. At some hardware store, I was recommended the gray ones because they can be cheaper since they are made in larger quantities. (I neither checked if he was right nor bought any markrör) ///Johan

Gray pipes are for indoors and are not intended for embedding. Orange pipes are so-called markrör and approved for embedding. The gray ones are much softer, which is noticeable when working with them.

there are two types of gray pipes, texuponors, and pipelife are of the better kind, there is some letter marking you should check, it's mentioned in other threads here on the forum, the exact letter combination

I don't understand how everyone thinks Byggmax is cheap. Just negotiate a little with any regular hardware store or plumbing wholesaler. You end up way below Byggmax prices. At our local plumbing wholesaler, which is a Danish company, I got the underfloor heating pipe for 10.70m. Then a 35% discount on that. Even ground pipes, etc., were really cheap.

Watchmen. You're right that you can negotiate better prices with most wholesalers, but just think of how much they make from those who don't bother negotiating. Doesn't feel quite right! Being able to offer 35% discount and still have profit margin left. Is the owner buying a new car, or what?! Nah, shop at Bygg-Max, there it's already bargained and done. Usually the quality is "Good-enough!", depending on what it's going to be used for. But nicely negotiated! Take care! Korp-Johan

What I think is that Byggmax uses false advertising since you can't trade with them.

At Byggmax, the stated price applies. How can you call that false advertising??? That's the last thing it is.

That I mostly think Byggmax sells a bunch of junk is another matter... *s*

That's the dumbest thing I've heard. Don't you have the flyers and signs that the stores are littered with?
Same price for everyone, no discounts.

How much do you have to shop for at Beijer or Woody before you get discounts that match Byggmax prices?

 

[Watchmen]

There was a mistake there. They market themselves as the cheapest. tired.
If you buy everything there for a new house or deck, etc., at Byggmax, it can't be cheaper according to themselves.
But maybe it's just me who thinks they are expensive

You don't have to buy so much. To get the prices down. Just talk to them.
For timber and cell plastic, Woody keeps lower prices from the start.
s80 cell plastic is around 50:-/sqm without discount at Woody. It can get down to at least 37:- with tax if you buy a little.
