Need advise on opening an hardware online store

Dear Rodinhooders,
I am Kunal from Moradabad, a small town in UP. I have recently started my business of wholesale/ distribution of paints, industrial Coatings, thinners, Abrasives, etc. I need your suggestion on taking the route of e-commerce for retail of these products. We already have a multi-brand retail outlet running from last 40 yrs.

Me, being a jack of all trades loves to do DIY things. I want to open an online store where one can buy everything related to paints, hardware, sanitary and DIY tools online. Currently there is no site which is after this segment. As this segment involves bulky goods so there might be logistic issues and operational costs might be high. Taking into consideration all these factors please suggest me how should I proceed further.

Also, I would love to join hands with some fellow Rodinhooder who have the same interests.

Thanks & Regards,
Kunal Kalra
