I respect you and your views but isn't it just as damaging in the long term (and also the short term) to not go grey' date=' because that allows authorised importers to get away with inflating prices and delivering poor service ?

Being an authorised distributor does not necessarily equate to exclusivity.  Should a distributor wish to be exclusive, he would have to satisfy the product manufacturer that he can generate the volume of sales that makes sense to the product manufacturer.

 

An exclusive distributor that is inflating prices and delivering poor service is asking to be taken out of the game, and makes himself vulnerable to people sourcing the product through alternate channels.  A product manufacturer that choses a business model that included exclusive distributions has to ensure that his distributors are representing his product properly.

 

I'm not saying these things don't happen, all I'm saying is that I chose not to support a practice that I see as damaging to those distributors who are trying to do things properly.

 

 

Aren't authorised distributors who inflate prices & deliver poor service really the ones causing the damage, by creating a situation where grey importers can operate and by giving all distributors a bad name ?

 

Isn't support for grey importers actually less damaging for distributors who are trying to do things properly because that limits the ability of distributors to inflate prices or deliver bad service ?
