Cash & Carry type stores

BOBS

Anyone know the name of the warehouse in Coleraine which sells goods cheap to the general public. I was told that most of the traders at nuts corner and the fairhill in Ballymena buy their stuff from it.

You are probably talking about Walkers ..... it is in Loguestown Industrial Estate (just off the Bushmills Road Roundabout) ...... I go in with the kids and they get great value for their pocket money ...... they do everything from pocket money toys, household bits, cleaning stuff ...... it prob is trade but there is never any questions asked .....dont think they do any named electrical brands .... but good for a rummage usually manage to pick up a few bargains.

Makro are actually quite strict with regards to getting a card. I had reapply as I had let my card lapse, so I know they are strict now.

From their website...

Asda and Semichem stock Stardrops. Semichem also sells Starclean.

Interesting to hear Makro have tightened up on their cards, it used to be everyman and his dog had one.

Seem to recall a few negative posts on the forum regarding their customer service/after sales processes regarding electrical goods.

I wanted a Makro card and I have my own business. Unfortunately, my small business would never have invoices for £50 or over so my application was declined.
