So no different from buying milk from a corner shop to a supermarket?

Entirely different. Homobase have the same or greater purchasing power
as TLC/Toolstation/Wilkinsons.

I'll bet they haven't, for the sort of things those firms sell.

Large companies deal direct with the maker - not the likes of Costco etc
where you can buy most things in one go, like a corner shop might do.

And I can't see Homebase selling anything like the same quantities of
wiring accessories as a proper electrical wholesaler.
