What are typical listing fees charged by major drinks distributors, and can they be negotiated?

Listing fees with major distributors are negotiable, though they can feel steep at first quote.

- **Matthew Clark** — members have been quoted £500 per depot, with feedback that "there's defo room for negotiation on this." Several members flag this as a pain point, but don't accept the initial ask.

**Key takeaway:** The initial quote is not a fixed price. Members recommend pushing back rather than accepting the first figure.
