What supply company do you use?

Published

I am trying to decide which supply company to use to make getting supplies to all of my campuses easier. Since we are a relatively small school, I was trained to just go to the store when we're low on things, such as bandaids, and hand deliver them to each of my campuses. There are several obvious problems with this route, such as poor communication with 2 of my campuses (this leads to emails that say things like "hey. we're completely out of bandaids. can you get us some more??") I've tried several different ways to get them to communicate better when they're running low on supplies but, alas, they don't use them :sarcastic: not to mention the fact the my other two campuses are over an hour away from my "home" campus. It is not a feasible thing to just drop what I'm doing to take them supplies....

Anywho, just curious to know who y'all use!

I use School Health and Moore Medical, primarily. With MacGill filling in sometimes. Moore has big bottles of acetaminophen for about $5!

I use School Nurse Supply Inc. for almost everything, School Health for a few things that I can't get from the other, and Amazon for Kleenex and mints!
How many and how much do you get for kleenex?

I get my stuff from School Nurse Supply. I never heard of the School Health though. link?

I use MacGill. My first year I made a list of what I needed and added up the total, it went over my budget by about 15%. I emailed my list to three companies (won't name the others) and asked for a quote for those supplies. MacGill was the only company that gave me a discounted price so I could get everything I needed. The other companies told me to cut my list. Lost my business forever.

I only knew to do this because my husband is a sales rep and he kept telling me to pit companies against each other. It works.

Interesting...I always get discounts when I send a quote, from all the companies I have dealt with.
