Interesting pricing conondrum with one of my parts vendors
I've been using these guys for a long time. I mostly buy euro auto parts from them A lot of you in the biz use them also . Recently , however, my local vendor merged with a larger company, and now I get similar deals on stuff that I do not have to ship . Makes life a lot simpler for returns and stuff. I also have had a bit of a slow spell on this sort of work, so in general, I have been buying less from them for the last few months .
I called to order something today, and was blown away by the price. They knocked me down on the pricing tier because of the numbers being lower .
Not sure if this a good way to retain a customer or not . He told me to pick up my orders and they will put me back on the better pricing schedule .
I said fuch em. Im not begging you to sell me parts, the other guys have the same pricing tier and I don't have to beg them for it. I just hit click and it shows up next day . My orders with them have dwindled before and I was not penalized for it in any way .
What do you guys think? I think they just lost a customer. I am a small potatoes customer in the grand scheme of things, but my bill is always paid.
