Is this True about Contractors and Supply Houses in 2026? Master Electrician says be careful, True?

Business is changing. Today, my Square D representative, my Schneider Electric go-to supply house that I've been doing business with for over 20 years, never owed him a dime, has quoted me two times the price of a non-Square D Schneider distributor. I'm going to repeat that. My Square D Schneider distributor quoted me two times the price of a three-pole QOB simple 120-V circuit breaker. Yet, my GE and Siemens distributor did it half the price. Make any sense? It makes no sense. So, originally, I wasn't even going to call another distributor. If I need Square D, boom, I go to this guy. It's called honor, right? Well, there is no more honor. There is no more reason for you just to go and buy from a local supply house because they don't care. Now, look, I always as I am an advocate for two-xing your materials. You deserve it. But, you can't two-x something that's already been two-xed to you. It's one thing if you and I, electrical contractor, are competing with each other, okay? We get the specs, we're competing against each other, and you don't want to mark your material up, that's up to you. But, if you're getting material for half the price than me, and I'm putting a two-x mark up, I'm in trouble. And it used to never be that way. Used to get preferred pricing. It used to People would call me asking me to buy them things for homeowners thinking I'd get a discount. So, call around and get prices because nobody has your back anymore.
