UHS only has the 'best prices' because you don't buy anything in volume that means anything to a distributor and/or have no relationship with any legitimate distributors in this trade. This is likely due to you doing smaller jobs/automotive work. If you did buy more from ONE distributor and built up a relationship with them, you actually would get a significantly better deal from a legitimate distributor.
These are the long term decisions you need to make in order to have your business actually flourish otherwise you will forever be stuck in the rat race of chasing job after job making 'alright money' but never enough to really get ahead and be successful. This is coming from someone who also would do the exact same thing as you but realized that was a stupid choice and made changes, due to these changes amongst other things I/we was/were able to grow the company from being shit to having 15 staff and 10 vans.
