    I am flabergasted! 😳

    How many more so caled TRADE distributers are going to retail as well?

    This company is, I am told, a member of Euronics AND carries out Euronics distribution……I am so glad not to be a euronics member! I would be pulling my hair out!

    Is it me ❓

    We buy odd bits & pieces from Portway and I was disturbed to see this!
    Rang them and they pointed out that they only deliver to the Andover area.
    Problem is that my customer up here in the Midlands can see their on-line prices – Amica AWP510L @ £179 …. not much room for us in that price!!!
    We were just going to get back into Amica now that the aftersales is sorted, but this will give us a serious re-think.

    The thing is everyone is at it nowadays Connect,Qualtex,etc…It just show that margins are so tight they end up down the retail road.

    I’ve just had a speedy e-mail response from them and its only a £15 delivery charge on orders over £200. And I’m in Bedfordshire.

    They didn’t state how much if I only ordered the £179 Amica.

    BUT….if you were paying asda to distribute to your own shops, would you be happy if they did this? I think it is hilarious in a warped kind of way :rotfl:

    I am all for fair competition this just seems…..ODD?

    I am glad not to be a retailer of white goods …..repairs are just fine thanks 😀
