Has anyone else wondered...

where the suppliers get their supplies?

There are some that it's obvious that they make them, but others I KNOW are just getting them from somewhere else... and I want to know where that somewhere else is!

I bought some stuff online yesterday from http://www.soapies-supplies.com/shop/f.a.q.s.html and I thought the prices were pretty good, etc. and they are located about 40 mins. from me (but on my way to get my hair cut today) so I did a local pick-up. It's operated out of their house, with which I don't take issue. I'm just curious!!!

Writing this made me start researching... found some good stuff!

Occassionally, the supplier to the end user, can be second or even third in the chain! Not every supplier gets their goods directly from a manufacturer. Unfortunatly, this means that each time the goods are sold on, a little extra cost is put onto the price - so the end user can be paying more than they would from the 1st or 2nd in the chain.

The trick is - no matter where you are in the world - shop around!

EXACTLY!!

I hate KNOWING that I'm at least 2nd or 3rd in the chain.
