Anyone else feel like finding decent vendors got way harder lately? Like… you can still find suppliers, but finding ones that are actually responsive + consistent + not sketchy is a different story. What I’m stuck on is this: we mostly stay in our lane, but we’re also trying to widen into a couple adjacent product lines. And every time we step into a new category it feels like starting from zero again — different standards, different “must-ask” questions, different ways people BS you. So I’m curious how you guys think about it as im suffering: Do you mostly source within one category, or are you jumping across categories a lot these days? When you jump categories, does it feel like the same pain (too much noise, hard to verify)… or does each category have its own special kind of nightmare? If you were going to use an AI tool to help with vendor search, would you rather it be really deep in auto parts… or more “works across a bunch of categories” so it’s useful when you’re expanding?
