Couldn’t I get better prices by buying from manufacturers directly?
Price is a function of volume. Van Access commits large purchase volume from these manufacturers so that the prices are superior to you purchasing directly from them. Of course you may enter large long term buying commitment with each of the manufacturers but you will only realize savings of a few percentage points because that is ultimately Van Access’ gross margin.
