P.S. again...
 
If your supplier adjusts his/her pricing downward how many carpet cleaners will pass the savings on to their customers?
 
Now, think about that one before you answer. Idea

Adjusting the price for a slightly higher shipping price is understandable. So is adjusting a price for cost of brokerage (either done internally or through a broker) but it doesn't account for 25 to 40% difference in pricing. Those that are doing that don't deserve my business. And I certainly don't support a business that can't be depended upon to fix my equipment correctly.

Ted is an honest businessman. When I look at the price Ted charges for juice compared to my local distributor it is clear that I am being ripped off locally.

If I can't depend on my local distributor for fair pricing or good maintenance or service what possible point do I have in dealing with them? I have found alternatives locally for repair and maintenance that are far more competent that I can depend on.

As far as what I charge for my services I offer excellent value in a competitive marketplace. And that is all I am expecting, but not receiving, from my local distributor.

Do you think he's getting rich off you??? I doubt it. you don't have to buy from him, it's to your best advantage to shop around. But maybe he gives good service....maybe you like the look of his shop???


We all strive to stay in the black

Steamer, I think you misunderstand me. Ted's alright! My local guy is a ripoff.
