| 579739 | 2007-08-12 08:55:00 | Well I reckon it would be a good move for shops to sell them, I'm sure quite a few people wouldn't mind pretty decent looking HTPC cases that aren't as expensive as the $500 ones from antec etc | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 579740 | 2007-08-12 08:58:00 | ;) Trust me I have had that discussion with vendors MANY MANY times, Sometimes it appears that they wont get cases in unless they feel like it. But Hopefully I'll get a reply tomorrow regarding the other case you asked about. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 579741 | 2007-08-12 09:36:00 | Thats who I have written to ( post above) - What you see on the site is NOT every thing they have :thumbs: You need their price list to get every thing, and thats not available to the general public - resellers only Thats where I got the RRP of $85.00 +gst from They will give the wholesale pricelist out to just about anybody, Hell, They send it to people who don't want it. |

| 579742 | 2007-08-12 09:39:00 | Thats business then I spose. But you try and get some suppliers to bring in items that their main suppliers from over seas have on their site - Thats a different story unless you order in bulk. I know I have tried to get a certain case I wanted 30 of them_ not even interested unless I ordered at least 1000 ( not Protac, another supplier) I also know MANY suppliers who wont give you any prices unless you are a business. But hey! thats life.:lol: |

| 579743 | 2007-08-12 09:56:00 | And so they shouldn't. Im not surprised they refused to entertain your notion of getting specific items in they didn't carry. |

| 579744 | 2007-08-12 10:07:00 | thats called supply and demand, are you saying if the items are available and they wont get them in simply because they cant be bothered then they shouldn't. I bet you if I asked for a container load then they would jump at it. FYI it was foxconn cases, and I actually contacted foxconn and their reply was quite simple- If the suppliers in NZ ordered them they would ship them, even if it was 1 case added to their usual order. The NZ supplier could have ordered them, they just couldn't be bothered. I have had a reply from foxconn stating they will be asking the NZ supplier WHY they wont place an order for items available. |

| 579745 | 2007-08-12 10:35:00 | Wholesalers deal in bulk, I wouldn't expect any devation from their main lines, especially for just a handful of items. Sure, Nice if they will do that for you but I wouldn't expect it, Hell, half the wholesalers in NZ are knobends. Ive had some bizarre discussions with some. If zcom are who you are refering to then that goes double. |

| 579747 | 2007-08-13 03:28:00 | Agent_24 - As advised here is the responce from the importers ( protac) [Quote] Not really on this model, we will try to get it in next time when we order another container from them.[End] So it looks like they will be available - just don't know when. |

| 579748 | 2007-08-13 08:08:00 | Would it be possible to estimate a time you think they might ship? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
