I run a business myself so I know that when it comes to ordering or re-ordering medical supplies, the process can get quite aggravating and very frustrating at time. Most people wise up and will find a store that offers everything they need for their specific business - in this case nursing home supplies and medical supplies. There are stores offline that offer these products in one store, but they are also more expensive. Wouldn't you rather have convenience AND price? When shopping online it's not unheard of to find stores that not only offer one stop shopping, but they will also offer better prices, bulk options and wholesale options.
All of these variables are going to allow you to literally get more for your money. It doesn't matter if it's a popular brand name product, or not. Or if it's a special item, or not. If the store offers it, chances are you will save money on it. And best of all since its one store offering all the products you need anyway, you are also going to save yourself a lot of time once ordering comes around again! Now all you will need is your list of supplies and a checklist.
Once you go on the site you will very easily be able to start adding products right to you "cart", and once you are ready to check out, you will be asked to enter in a business license number or wholesaler license. I've found about 10% of sites online that do offer wholesale do NOT need any kinds of proof from you that you are a real business or company. The other 90% will need some kind of proof from you have it be your driver's license number, business license or your bulk wholesaler license.
I've been told that the reasoning behind this is because a site might offer supreme prices as is, but they will offer "special" discounts to bulk and wholesalers - obviously a wholesaler is a person that would buy and sell these products themselves in their own store. Well, if they offered the wholesale price to just anyone that "walked" into the store, then everyone would get the special prices! Also, I do believe there is something else to do with the way your government is set up with purchasing in your specific location.
If you aren't sure if a site takes a license or not, simply email them or call them and ask them! Most of these sites online that sell any kind of products or more specifically nursing home supplies and medical supplies are more than happy to answer whatever questions you may have about these kinds of things along with product info, suggestions and recommendations for specific products and more!
Give it a try and see how it works out for your business! I can almost guarantee that you will end up saving a lot of money and a lot of time! Even if it does take you a little more time to pick out products, when it comes to medical supplies it's going to be less frustrating and less stressful!
