Bookers will probably accept your invoice for machines, insurance paperwork AND a Makro invoice.
Once you join 1 wholesaler, they tend to all let you join just by seeing competitors invoices.

Went into Bookers today with PL Ins certificate and invoice for machines, they were fine, bit surprised though as alot of items were dearer than Makro and the place was a dump, although going to have a refurb by end of June (Leicester)

I am stuck with the pricing really because I am replacing the existing machines, obviously I also work at the location too so a tad worried about jealousy and the snipes about me profiting from other people. With that in mid I intend to vend at the same as the last supplier which is 60p a can and 50p for crisps (walkers) and 60p per chocky bar and other crisps/snacks. There does not appear to be as much margin as I was expecting. I had it in my head that I would double my money. I know I wont lose money and I wont have the normal overheads that others would have but think it will be alot longer before I break even

Whilst on the subject of Multipacks is there any reason why I couldnt sell stock that states on it 'part of a multi pack, not to be sold seperately' etc?

The good old supermarkes seem to do better deals on certain lines infact all lines than what I have seen at Bookers and Makro. Oh and points on my card too!

A genuine question and would welcome your thoughts and experiences

Thanks
