How does it work?
CSC Buying Group negotiates with suppliers to establish discounted national and at times trans-tasman pricing for the members we represent. You purchase directly from the suppliers at the discounted price. CSCBG will provide you with information on how to access the discounted prices - some suppliers require an account, some are cash purchases quoting a discount code, and others provide you with your discount on presentation of a membership card.

Do I pay the suppliers through CSC Buying Group?
No, you pay all suppliers directly; no money comes through CSC Buying Group.

What can I buy through CSC Buying Group?
CSC has over 60 suppliers across a wide range of categories, and we regularly add to the products and services available. Our suppliers provide both highly competitive pricing, and top quality goods and services. Please visit the Suppliers page for a complete list.

How much money will I save?
Our discounts vary from 5% - 60% off depending on the category you choose. We recommend contacting the CSC Buying Group National office to request specific information on the product or service you require.
