- My quote shows some "stock" and some "non-stock" items. Doesn't WPH have everything in stock?
- Although we have one of the largest inventories in the city, many of our orders include a substantial portion of unique merchandise not stocked by anyone-often not even the manufacturer, who produces the products as they are ordered.
- Why are you asking for a deposit on the "non-stock" items on my oder?
- Some manufacturers do not permit cancellation of our purchase order once they have received it, and most non-stock items cannot be returned by us to the manufacturer, so essentially, you have purchased the items when you place your order with us. In addition, we are frequently required to pay for this merchandise at the time we place our order with the manufacturer
- How do you apply my deposit to my invoices?
- Our computer system tags your deposit to the individual non-stock item. When we invoice you for a non-stock item, the computer pulls the deposit associated with that item and gives you credit for that payment.

- Do I have to be there to receive my order?
- Merchandise must be inspected, counted and signed for at delivery. At that point the material is yours. A careful inspection is for your protection.
- Ooops! I made a mistake! How do I change my order?
- This can get a little tricky. First, call your salesperson, who will review your order to see if a change will effect other choices (changing a faucet finish may mean accessores and cabinet knob finishes should change too). The salesperson must also contact the manufacturer to see if the purchase order can be changed or cancelled, and will find out what the restocking/chancellation fee will be from the vendor. WPH charges a change order fee as well. WPH will be as helpful as possible, however, changes can be expensive, so it's best to carefully review your order at the beginning.
- What if I receive a defective product?
- Most manufacturers offer limited warranties on their products. We will furnish you will reasonable help in pursuing a claim under these warranties but since we did not manufacture the product, we do not make any warranty as to the product or its use.
- The manufacturer gave me a replacement for the defective product, but who pays the plumber to install it?
- Virtually no manufacturer pays for this expense, nor does WPH.
- I ended up with some extra items- Can I return them?
- Non-stock merchandise usually cannot be returned. We will contact the vendor on your behalf to see if a credit, net of a restocking charge will be issued. Any product that is eventually accepted for return, whether it is stock or non-stock, must be in the original box, in resaleable condition, and usually involves a minimum 25% restocking fee.
- Installed merchandise cannot be returned under any conditions unless the product is defective and under warranty.
I'm a contractor and my client has not paid me-Surely you do not expect me to pay you?
Can't you just collect directly from them?
- We do not open business accounts for homeowners. Therefor, we expect payment from you in accordance with our terms
