When i was heavily involved in purchasing and obtaining quotes a lot, i would ask for a range of quotes 3-5, but then go back to my preferred supplier to see if he could match the best price given. Usually he could and so we'd go with them, the reason being as stated above, the relationship, support, knowledge, VALUE ADDED is essential for us, sometimes we'd even pay more to stay with a supplier we trusted who could quickly and efficiently solve any problems that arose - which is the true mark of a good supplier. Not that they provide the cheapest price, quickest quote etc, but how well they resolve any inevitable difficulties that may arise.

It does seem that there is a huge misaprehention out in the education market place with many people that cheapest is always best.

I hope this thread has shown that this is not always the case.

I feel that people often forget that resellers are supposed to add value to the products you are purchasing from them. There are a vast number of resellers out there who will simply sell you products and then be no where to be seen if you require support or assistance. You also need to realise that resellers are businesses and if they make no profit selling kit they will go bust. This means that there is no back up for you at all and often little recourse apart from trying to go direct to the manufacturer which can be an issue.

Don't get me wrong we all like a bargain, but this should not come at the expense of quality of service or a realistic business model. I think Simon has acted in a totally correct fashion, and the fact that he has contacted a customer whom had already placed an order to update them on an offer is admirable.

Sometimes cheapest is the only option to provide the equipment in many schools, thus taking what we can get.

Support might be rubbish, product might not be upto scratch, but alas the kids go on learning at an accelerated rate rather than being hindered by equipment that doesn't work

Like I said and not having a go or nothing and don't want anyone reading this taking it the wrong way or out of context as I have seen a lot of posts and your support has been top notch along with price and the rest of it ( a few minor niggles but those are to be expected ) and just for the record I don't work for edu so have as of yet not had the opportunity or chance to buy stuff from CPLTD ( simon and co )

Good to hear that Acer are sorting it out though

Also agreed on the you get what you pay for
