I have removed the names/product details,I also contacted a nice manufacturer who said that the XXX rep wont let them onsell install jigs or the XXXXX systems :
Hi XXXX, I was wondering if you could advise where I could purchase you XXX system and the XXX install kit.
Thanks Tux
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Tux,
Thanks for getting in touch.
To be able to purchase our XXXX and a XXX Install Kit you will need to be a manufacture and set up an account with us – to do this you will need to own an actual business and have an ABN number.
Your other option is heading to your local manufacture who already has an account with us and asking them to install our system for you.
Sorry we can't be of more help - if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Here at XXX we don't condone the on-selling of our XXXX system - unless it is being installed into a board by a professionally trained manufacturer that has an account with us.
However this being said you may find a nice manufacturer who is willing to supply you with what you are after.
Oh they sell evereything else they make off there website and you can by the product I am after shipped from the US or cheap knock offs from ali baba by the carton....
Patent pending ???? applicable Safety Standard laws ???? or even protecting their distributors here .... definitely something going on if you can get the product from overseas (shipping $$$ would then be a factor)
Or maybe.... Like other companies they sell products to non skilled people who install incorrectly, the system fails and then the system is blamed.
Not sure which company you are referring to but I do know that I also enforced the same rule at a company I worked for before.
As the hint says though, see a 'nice' manufacturer and see if they will help you out. Next hint is that most manufacturers are 'nicer' with beer as part of the transaction.
