Still setting up my shop. Trying to sell wire also besides lights and general electrical products.
Called south wire and they have 100k pound minimum place order per hear
Called cerrowire- they looking into it for me.
Any manufacture you know??

Was thinking of pushing copper clad. But homeowners are going to burn there homes down if you give them that crap lol
 
Any company wants to sell in large lots-- simplifies the paperwork.
Manufacturers, such as Southwire, if you're not a major customer, want to sell to you through a Distributor-- sort of like a Home Depot on steroids-- not just a single box of 10/3, but a pallet full.
You need to find a distributor who will deal with a shop that might order a pallet once or twice a year. Unless Wire & Cable your way will sell to you at a discount, you need to find another source.
 
You could try priority wire and cable. I imagine they have some sort of minimum, but I'll bet a lot less than southwire or Cerro

Disclaimer: I am hesitant to throw their name out as years ago they provided me (thru my local house) 250 AL that was marked as and supposed to be 350 AL and would not give us credit for the price difference, real dick move.
 
In addition to Priority there are a couple other big wholesale only master distributors -Omnicable and Houston Wire and Cable.

There are a couple smaller manufacturers that make building wire, you could try them. iusawire, encore, and republic.
