Frequently asked questions

How much does wholesale index cost?
Most wholesale index falls between $1,267 and $4,941, with a typical figure near $2,502 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in Chicago.
What affects the price of wholesale index?
Providers price risk as well as work. A job with unknowns costs more to guarantee, which is why two quotes for the same request can differ so much. Local providers in Chicago can confirm how that applies to your area.
Is Wholesale Index cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. In Chicago, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit.
How many quotes should I get for wholesale index?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The answer can shift with the Chicago market, so check locally.
