About Us

Decorative Plumbing Distributors, Inc. (DPD), a family owned operation, is one of the
most unique distributors in the country. DPD sells mid- to high-end plumbing product
lines to plumbing wholesalers, kitchen and bath dealers, hardware stores, appliance
stores and tile and cabinet shops that display and sell plumbing products. We do not
sell to plumbers, contractors, designers, architects or end-users (homeowners) unless
they meet our retail showroom requirements. We do not want to compete with our
customers for the same business. This is a unique difference between other distributors
and DPD. We train all our customer service reps to know the product lines we represent -
hence not just be order takers but true customer service providers. They can answer questions
that save our customers time and money. DPD can ship same day from one of our two warehouses
(located in Northern or Southern California) that are heavily stocked with the most popular
items being sold today.
DPD customers are given an ID# and password to log-in to our On-line Ordering program which
allows them to check "real-time" product availability, pricing, account status, and place
orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So no matter where you are or what time of day it is
here in California, a DPD Customer has full access to our inventory so they won't lose that
sale because they had to put the client off until they could call during "normal business hours."

The management staff at DPD has over 80 years of plumbing expertise. If you are one of our
customers or if you purchase product from one of our customers, you can be assured that you
have access to the most current product information. Our customers receive regular updates
including new product announcements, specials, updated pricing, and industry news. We also
offer training classes on the different product lines, as well as a "Plumbing 101" and
"Plumbing 102" class to help new showroom salespeople learn terminology and product specifics,
making them more knowledgeable to help their customers and earn the sale.
