I recently needed to buy a replacement switch contactor, I wont mention the make of the saw as that would be unfair on the distributor. I contacted the main dealer as I was struggling to find a local electrical factors who could supply what I needed. Said agent indeed had the part and it was duly delivered within a couple of days at a cost of £79. In the mean time I found the same item from the German manufacturer, again delivered within a couple of days, the cost 3 euros plus 8 euros postage.
Now I am all for companies making a profit, but this seems an extortionate mark up on the wholesale price.I thought about returning the first one but as it had been fitted I felt a little dishonest to do so, and as they are date stamped I didn't want to chance returning the second in its place..... Lesson learned.
