ᐅ Tile sampling – significant price differences

Hello,

Yesterday, we visited a tile showroom again.
We had actually already selected and sampled our tiles earlier this year near our construction company (Hanover).
This was the first time we spoke with our tiler, who advised us to also check out two of his preferred stores near us (Hamburg). We did that.

We didn’t find THE tile that really impressed us (except for the prices ), but one tile was among them that we had already chosen before for the bathroom (same manufacturer, same design).
Here, however, it was priced at a whopping 25% more.

Now for the question: how can such a large price difference be possible? Is this due to a Hamburg surcharge?

Or is it more likely that the tiler perhaps gets a bigger discount when the tiles are more expensive and thus makes more profit if we buy from a more expensive bathroom supplier?

Have you experienced anything similar?

Usually yes, but generally less qualified.

No! Chamber employees clearly belong to the category of parasites. While braggarts are also not very popular, they at least generate their modest income through their own "assets." Chamber employees, on the other hand, live exclusively off arbitrary compulsory membership fees from others.

You’ve already moved in. Do you want to tile even more tiles?

Look, it’s not about moving in or not... it’s about exchanging opinions and answering follow-up questions.
