If you need chemical products of any kind for your business, such as bleach, caustic soda, citric acid, or anything else, you should look for a chemical wholesaler to provide these supplies. Buying from a chemical wholesaler will save you money in the long term because you will be able to buy in bulk. Of course, not all wholesalers are created equal, so our team at Comal Chemical has put together this article to go over a list of red flags to watch out for when choosing a chemical wholesaler to work with.
- Inventory Issues – A good chemical wholesaler will have the supplies you need in stock and ready to go when you need them. When looking for a wholesaler to work with, check the reviews for reports of shipping issues or long wait times—if the company can’t keep the supplies you need in stock, we encourage you to look elsewhere.
- Safety Violations – Another red flag to look out for when choosing a chemical wholesaler is a history of safety violations. A reputable wholesaler will take safety seriously and comply with all federal safety rules for the procurement, storage, and transportation of chemicals. If a wholesaler has a history of negligence when it comes to safety, take your business to someone else.
- Poor Customer Service – A third red flag to look out for when choosing a chemical wholesaler is poor customer service. If you find yourself getting frustrated with a complicated ordering system, delays in order processing or deliveries, or a customer service team that is hard to reach, we encourage you to look for a team who will support you better.
