Buying from Andrews
My 10 cents worth.
This is not a shot at Andrews, rather it is a commentary on discount wharehouses in general.
If price is your main and only driver Andrews are the guys. I have dealt with them in the past and they have the stock, give the best prices and acknowledge up front that there is no point getting into a detailed discussion with them about pros and cons, they are not experts.
I just spent over 12k this week, I contacted Andrews to purchase an item they confirmed was in stock on the website for 4K but was told they would need to find it first as they had several wharehouses. Fair enough, gave em a couple of days cause I believe in fair enough. That was a week and a half ago. Bintel, in particular Don at Bintel not only got the 4K but through his expert advice turned it into more than 6K and I have now spent more than 12K off the back of Dons advice.
Was Bintel as cheap as Andrews, nah...
But Bintel has Don, Mike, Roger etc etc and I should pay a couple of hundred extra for that expertise everytime.
I have been buying and selling for a long time now and it is sometimes good to be reminded that cheap isnt always best.
