| 276844 | 2004-09-30 02:15:00 | Exactly what Metla said. I procure a lot of IT equipment for the company and my usual relationship with my vendors are 'sharpen your pencil' but not to the extend you have to starve your children. You have to make sure your vendor is still around in years to come, and for that to happen he has to have realistic mark ups (note realistic not exorbitant). Re online experience - I found that nothing beats good old face to face or even phone calls. But I have on several occasions bought from websites where their shop is actually not in Auckland. For example I bought on-line several Canon digital cameras from a shop in Gore because they had the best price. And the equipment was couriered to me the next day. |

| 276851 | 2004-09-30 02:48:00 | I have bought quite a lot of things online from both NZ sites and Ebay but I always try to favour local stores whenever I can . I am lucky that Tastech is one of the cheapest dealers in NZ for computer stuff and as he supplies a good range of products I can nip over to his place to pick things up after ordering by email or phone . His customer service isn't all that great at times but I can handle that . One thing we have to remember is that if we don't support our local stores who have stock that we can go in and examine, handle, compare, etc then we will be to blame if and when they go under . Comparing certain products like monitors, cameras, etc by peering at pictures and specifications on webpages is not the same as seeing and handling them "in person" . To me, it is better to pay a little more (but not way more) to keep that kind of convenience and it is for that reason that I have bought certain things, such as our digital camera, locally rather than from the cheapest online store . |
