Why It Pays to Buy From a Trusted Surplus Supplier With Real Inventory

If you’ve ever ordered a part online only to wait days — or even weeks — for it to ship, you’re not alone. One of the most common frustrations in the automation and electrical parts world is dealing with sellers who don’t actually stock what they list.

Many online sellers advertise industrial parts they don’t have on hand. After they get your order, they scramble to source the part from somewhere else — and often, that "somewhere else" is us.

At VB Industrial Supply, we regularly see other sellers purchasing items from our in-stock surplus inventory to fulfill their own orders. They list parts like surplus Siemens modules, SICK sensors, and Pepperl+Fuchs I/O modules, even though they don’t have a single one on their shelves.

This practice wastes your time, costs you money, and puts your operations at risk. If the part is critical to keeping your line running, a delay like that can be costly.

We’re different.
