My problem with FS is finding what I want on their web site. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2018 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Merca version of fs
Well....depends on the item. For the metal and plastic stuff, Multilink was very close to FS as long as you had enough volume for distributor pricing. I'm talking about enclosures, splice trays, etc. To get the good pricing from Multilink you'll have a meeting with them, talk about potential volume, get a credit check, etc. Fiber Instrument Sales is pretty price friendly too if you call and talk to them. If you order direct from the online store you'll pay MSRP. If you talk to them, negotiate, make commitments, etc you'll get a good price. The beauty of FS is everything is just right there spelled out on the web site and you didn't have to buy 100 of them to get a good price. Add to cart, provide cc#, stuff shows up at the door next week. FS is still easier even at a higher price so I think for a lot of the time we'll still just be paying more at FS and that's just how it's going to be. The electronics are coming from Asia in any case, so I think you'll just have to pay more for them. Just my 2c. -Adam On 10/11/2018 2:03 AM, Jason McKemie wrote: Even with the tarrifs I'm sure they'll still be a fraction of the price of domestic suppliers.

Anybody know of any in the pipe vendors?
