    Collective Buying, Made Simple

    A collaborative, wholesaler-safe model designed to improve efficiency for both our preferred contractors and suppliers.

    Step 1

    Join as a Preferred Contractor

    Our independent preferred contractors choose to participate together — pooling purchasing power while maintaining full independence.

    Step 2

    Purchase Through Corporate Accounts

    Rather than purchasing separately, our preferred contractors may purchase through our national corporate accounts, accessing pricing typically available to larger operators.

    Step 3

    Order as Normal

    Our preferred contractors order through Affiliate Warehouse-enabled wholesaler access. Same products, same suppliers, same processes.

    Step 4

    Get Price Notifications

    Optional email alerts notify you when prices increase or decrease compared to prior purchases — supporting quoting accuracy.

    Step 5

    Compare Anytime

    Pricing can be compared at any time against your original trade accounts.

    What does it mean to be a preferred contractor?

    Using Affiliate Warehouse Accounts at Wholesalers

    How do I identify myself at the wholesaler counter?
    When ordering through an Affiliate Warehouse account, simply let the wholesaler staff know that you are an Affiliate Warehouse Preferred Contractor purchasing under their account. You will only need to provide your personal Affiliate Warehouse account number for the supplier you are purchasing from. For example, if you are purchasing from TradeZone, you will have your own private Affiliate Warehouse account number specifically for TradeZone. This allows the wholesaler to process the order normally while ensuring purchases are recorded correctly against your business within the Affiliate Warehouse system.
    What if the wholesaler notices I'm not an Affiliate Warehouse employee?
    That's completely normal. Affiliate Warehouse does not have employees. Instead, it works with Preferred Contractors who carry out work on its behalf and are authorised to purchase through Affiliate Warehouse supplier accounts. When purchasing, you simply identify yourself as an Affiliate Warehouse Preferred Contractor and provide the following: • Your job reference or purchase order number • Your Affiliate Warehouse account number for that supplier For example, you may have a separate Affiliate Warehouse account number for each supplier, such as TradeZone, Ideal, or Voltex. This allows the wholesaler to process the order normally while ensuring the purchase is recorded correctly and remains fully traceable within their system.
    Am I allowed to purchase in person at the wholesaler counter?
    Yes. Preferred Contractors can order in person, online, or over the phone, depending on how the wholesaler normally processes orders. You simply reference your Affiliate Warehouse account when placing the order.
    Does this change the wholesaler's normal systems?
    No. Affiliate Warehouse operates entirely within existing wholesaler systems and terms. • Orders are processed normally • Pricing and availability are set by the wholesaler • Purchases remain job-coded and traceable Nothing about the wholesaler's processes is altered.
    What if the counter staff aren't familiar with Affiliate Warehouse?
    You can simply explain that you are an Affiliate Warehouse Preferred Contractor purchasing under their corporate account. If needed, the wholesaler can confirm the account details directly with Affiliate Warehouse. Your order will still be processed through the wholesaler's normal system.
    How are orders tracked if multiple contractors use the same account?
    You have your own private Affiliate Warehouse account for each wholesaler.
    Do I need to wear Affiliate Warehouse branding?
    No. Preferred Contractors remain independent businesses. You continue operating under your own company name and branding. Affiliate Warehouse simply provides access to shared purchasing infrastructure.
    What if a wholesaler has questions about the program?
    Wholesalers can contact Affiliate Warehouse directly to discuss how the system works. Affiliate Warehouse is designed to work with wholesalers, not around them, providing increased purchasing consistency and volume while remaining fully compliant with supplier systems.
