[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1155660, member: 746"] That occurs more and more. A big incentive is to look on AliExpress. One of the items that Air sell is available there for a substantial discount I usually buy items from AliExpress that are not available in SA. One such item recently was a 3-phase 22kW inverter. This was on a local suppliers price-list but when I ordered it, they told me there was a 10-12 week delivery, which meant that it was a special order AliExpress price with shipping was only 18% less and by the time VAT and clearance had been paid, the difference was R801,00. And it got here in under 10 days, so happy customer But what you postulate is nothing new. Many people rate price higher than service, thinking that nothing can go wrong If you get to know your dealer well and have a good relationship, this is far more important than saving a bob or two [/QUOTE]
