    Back in the day, you could call a manufacturer, they would actually answer the phone and do whatever they can to get their product in your hands. Now I am supposed to want to do whatever I can to get the product and beg for it. Not me, I am the consumer. Provide service of fuck off.

    Totally agree Glenn. If there isnt a dealer within reasonable driving distance, then there should be no issue with ordering from a dealer elsewhere. It's not like you're trying to snake a deal for a cheap price. Your willing to pay the standard dealer price, you just want to do so without driving for half the day to make it happen. I don't find that unreasonable at all...on the contrary- it's common sense.

    Dealer networks are setup to provide distribution of a product- not a blockade to entry. And if you're local dealer is not an establishment up to par with your standards of business (or install) practice, then I see no reason why the manufacturer should hold you to that dealer as well. It's bad business.

    That I agree with completely.

    Agreed. I work in customer service (B2B level, not retail - that's for our customers to provide to the end customer) but occasionally the more savvy consumers do reach out to me in likewise situations. I just hand out an extra rebate on the product for a dealer to cover S&H towards a consumer on such rare occasions (Belgium is a small country after all). The dealer wins, product sold with margin unharmed. Consumer wins, product delivered to the doorstep with no extra cost. We win, because we just sold a product, albeit with less margin, that our competition will now not be able to sell to that consumer. Truly a win-win for all involved.

    Sad to see such shortsightedness on such a regular basis.

    The problem they created by not selling me what I needed and being rude about it also caused me to want to avoid them in the future. I won't have much good to say about them either, so instead of a customer, they got a bad review that lead to a thread like this. I'm sure this will come up in future conversations too.

    I'm surprised their pricing policy hasn't yet. 2.5k for a Mosconi A-Class? GTFO! It's half here. I know, I bought one new.
