ParticipantI know this has been discussed before (at length), but I want to check it out once more, and it’s fun!
I think I’m on one of connection’s worse price bands atm, but the rep says I’m on the best.
So let’s take some random parts, copy n paste them into your connections, and see what prices we have for them (before VAT)…
PMP666 – (Electrue reverse term. pump) – £6.49
MER077118 – Merloni DW motor – £39.10
HVR90489300 – Hvr/Candy WM interlock – £6.30 (for 1)
WPL481225928681 – Whirlpool TD stat kit – £7.85
Hope you do better than me 😕

ParticipantRe: Connections – Price bands
You may request a more suitable rate by sending them a request via the contact us link on their site, I did and they helped me when i realised i wasnt getting such a good deal as other members here at ukwg.
Ya won’t get if you don’t ask!
If i could sell at higher prices without getting queried, who knows eh. 😆Or you could just ring them,Cost you a call though user the form on their site your rep will ring you.
Ya saving already. 😉

ParticipantRe: Connections – Price bands
Same as Goatboy’s prices; yet I buy loads from Connect. Forget the site contact, I have repeatedly asked the customer services for my rep to contact me and nothing has happened. IF they were interested in trade accounts, I would get a call from my rep straight away. Qualtex, to their credit, call me inside the hour with a price and availability of the part which is very helpful.
My old rep used to call round and even rang periodically to see if all was well. New rep? I’ve never spoken to him about my business; although I have met him at another trader’s shop. He knows who I am. Connect say I have to phone him directly. OK…..but when my customers ring my office, I will return their calls as I want their business. In these difficult times, any trade is good.
So we have no contact, a mounting pile of spares for return (all with CAN numbers), and the lowering of my credit limit last month to well below what I spend every month.
So to get a decent deal, I have to go cap – in – hand to the rep, and cap – in – hand to reapply for a higher credit limit (that I already had and was regularly exceeding) and this from a regular paying and consistent customer. I don’t think I’m going to do that. That tells me they don’t really want my business. And I’m about done giving them any more.
They may just get their wish next month. 😈Steve.
