For the Trade
One partner. Forty-nine lines. Every order, owned end-to-end.
The Haptor Barrett Trade Program is built for working interior designers, architects, and set decorators who need a showroom that moves at the pace of a real project.
The Problem
Specifying a single room today means coordinating with eight, ten, sometimes twelve different factory reps — each with their own quote turnaround, their own freight terms, their own claims process, their own person to email when something goes wrong. The bookkeeping alone can eat a day a week.
The Haptor Barrett Approach
We are one rep instead of twelve. One email. One quote — same day. Quotes and orders are handled per vendor, but we coordinate all of it on your behalf so you're dealing with one person, not eight. One account manager who owns every step, from sample dispatch to delivery scheduling to claim resolution. We have spent 45 years building the relationships, learning the catalogs, and structuring the back-office to make that possible.
You keep your client relationships. We do the parts of the project nobody became a designer to do.
What You Get
Trade Program benefits.
Trade Pricing
Trade discounts across every line we represent — applied consistently, no negotiating per project.
Same-Day Quotes
Email before noon, have pricing by end of day. For complex multi-line bids, typically within 24 hours.
Multi-Line Order Coordination
Order across as many of our 49 brands as you need. Quotes and POs are processed per vendor, but we handle all the factory-side coordination — you deal with us, not a dozen reps.
Dedicated Account Support
A real person who knows your studio, your project history, and your preferences. Not a ticket queue.
Sample Library
Fabric, leather, wood, finish, and material samples shipped fast — often same-day from our in-house library.
Custom Programs
Make-It-Yours customization on Vanguard, COM/COL on most upholstery lines, and finish customization on case goods.
Sourcing & Spec Assistance
Describe the look — we identify the line, the model, and the lead time. 45 years of catalog knowledge at your service.
Freight & Delivery Coordination
White-glove, blanket-wrap, threshold — we manage the freight option that fits the install, including LA-local delivery.
Claims, Owned.
Damaged piece. Wrong finish. Backorder. We file, follow up, and resolve directly with the factory. You don't lift a finger.
Referral Network
Vetted refinishers, touch-up specialists, leather repair, upholstery cleaners, and delivery services available to our trade clients.
Extended Hours
Standard hours Mon–Fri 9:30–5:30. Evening and weekend appointments available — just call ahead.
No Account Minimums
No monthly minimums, no annual commitment, no membership fee. You use us when a project calls for it.
How to Open a Trade Account
Opening a trade account takes about five minutes. Send us:
- Your business name, contact, and license/resale information
- A brief note on your firm and the kinds of projects you typically work on
- Any specific lines you're most interested in (we can prioritize sample dispatch)
We'll confirm your account, get samples in the mail, and connect you with the account manager who'll be your point of contact going forward.
