How we sell
Wholesale supply, priced to how you actually buy
TELEMAC is a wholesale supplier. Pricing follows volume and commitment, and we make that ladder explicit rather than leaving you to negotiate blind: committed programmes earn the sharpest pricing, one-off wholesale orders are priced on their own merits, and smaller orders are genuinely welcome.
What does not change with order size is the product. Same specification, same proof testing, same certificates, same permanent identification.
Three ways to buy
Pick the one that matches your operation
All three are normal business. The difference is price, and the reason for the difference is planning.
Committed programmes
The sharpest pricing we offer
Commit to a volume across the year, typically on a quarterly reorder cycle, and we hold the specification and price the programme accordingly. Production is planned against your schedule rather than quoted from scratch each quarter, and that planning is what creates the saving.
One-off wholesale orders
Full container and pallet quantities
A single large order is priced on its own merits at wholesale volume. No commitment, no programme, no obligation to reorder. Many accounts start here and move to a programme once the quality is established.
Smaller orders
Genuinely welcome
We supply smaller quantities as well, including single assemblies and replacement components. Pricing reflects the quantity, but the specification, the testing and the documentation do not change.
A committed programme does not lock you into a rigid schedule. It commits to an annual volume with an agreed reorder rhythm, most often quarterly, and it can be reviewed at any point. What it buys you is production planned around your year rather than around our queue.
Where product comes from
National and offshore, chosen per line
Sourcing is a decision we make against your requirement, not a fixed policy.
- National manufacturersWhere lead time governs, where a short customised run is needed, or where a domestic source is simply the better product, we buy from established national manufacturers and quote it as such.
- Vetted offshore producersFor volume lines, we buy direct from producers qualified on certification, audit history and production capability. Fewer intermediaries between the plant and your yard is the mechanism behind the pricing, not thinner steel.
- The choice is stated, not hiddenEvery quoted line tells you which route it takes and what that means for lead time and documentation. Where a domestic source is the right answer, we say so, even when it prices higher.
What a quote contains
- Wholesale price at the quantity you asked for
- Price at the next volume break, so you can see what committing is worth
- Lead time per line, with stock lines identified as such
- Sourcing route and what it means for lead time
- The documentation package supplied with the line
- Freight quoted separately and honestly
Pricing is shown on the site to approved account holders at their assigned tier. Apply for an account or request a quote without one.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have minimum order quantities?
Not as a blanket rule. We supply full container and pallet quantities, single assemblies and replacement components. Pricing reflects the quantity ordered, but the specification, the testing and the documentation do not change with order size. Some branded and colour-matched consumables carry production minimums, and those are stated on the product page.
How does committed volume change the price?
A commitment lets us plan production against your schedule instead of quoting each order from scratch, and it lets us consolidate freight. Both of those are real costs that come out of the price. Quarterly reorder programmes are the most common structure: you commit to an annual volume, we hold the specification, and each reorder is a single line rather than a fresh negotiation.
Can I place a one-off wholesale order without committing to anything?
Yes, and many accounts start that way. A single large order is priced on its own merits at wholesale volume, with no commitment and no obligation to reorder. It is the sensible way to establish the quality before putting a programme behind it.
Are small orders welcome?
Yes. Replacement components, single assemblies and small quantities are normal business. The price per unit reflects the quantity, but you get the same certified product with the same documentation.
Why is pricing not shown on the site?
Because wholesale pricing depends on volume, specification, freight and where the product is sourced from. A single public number would be wrong for almost every buyer. Approved account holders see pricing at their assigned tier once signed in, and anyone can request a quote without an account.
Do you source domestically or offshore?
Both, chosen against the requirement rather than by default. Some lines are better made close to home, particularly where lead time or short-run customisation governs. Others are made to the same standard offshore at a materially better price. We tell you which route a quoted line takes and why.
What is included in the price?
The certified product with its documentation package: proof-test certificates, material and batch traceability, permanent identification and, where the design requires it, drawings. Documentation is part of the product rather than a priced extra. Freight is quoted separately and honestly, because on heavy freight it is a material part of the landed cost.
