Buying from shops who then shop calls another shop

[MAXBUWAYA]

Ever Experiencene this? When I was in College I see it as unethical.

You ask for a certain part, they dont have stocks, but but will Call another shop so they can providde you with one. Downside is you can be getting for a lesser price if you just went to what shop they called. Good side is you dont have to move around.

Now that I had work/Business experience. I think it is just right.
















Or wrong?

that's business

Ganyan style sa Binondo. Sasabihin sa yo meron. Tapos magtatawag sa phone,sasabihin sa yo, kukunin lang sa bodega. Yun pala sa katabing tindahan lang kukunin. Me tubo na siya.

[bumags]

okay na rin....saves metime in going around and looking for it....

Outsourcing + overpricing on their part yun.

On ours naman, katamaran lang hehehehe

sa isang sikat na tindahan ng gulong sa shaw, ganyan ang experience ko dati.
mga 555 replacement parts binibisikleta lang pala nila from an auto supply nearby pero ang resibo na nila ang present nila sa iyo kapag bayaran na.

[tebs]

that's business!

usually businesses help each other pag magka-association sila. Like sa banawe...

Pag wala ako stock, kuha ako sayo.

Pag wala ka stock, kuha ka sakin.

yep yep nothing wrong with that practice

[kimpOy]

matagal ng practice to ... tuwing sabado nga sila nag sisingilan...trabaho ng tatay ko nung nasa binondo pa siya.. palitan lang daw minsan ng resibo...

If the other shop sells the product to the other shop at a 'reseller' price, the customer still ends up getting the product at fair market value.

Ganun yung chemical company ng friend ko. They have retail price and they have reseller price sa mga kakilala nilang ibang chemical companies na kinakapos ng certain chemical na iyon [e.g. bulk orders with short lead times]. The client won't really know about it because wala naman price adjustment from the set price.

The best thing to do is still shop around. I was looking for a silicone iPod case this afternoon. Prices ranged from Php150-500 for the same basic case (even the packaging was the same). Just had to do a little legwork.

If you're still getting the product at the agreed-upon price, hindi ka lugi... it's the shop that sells to you that absorbs the extra cost.

Look at it this way:

You're buying a 500 peso part. Yung tubo nila is 50 pesos on a 450 peso part. They don't have it. They call another shop. Buy it at "reseller" price, say: 460. Then they have to pay commuting for a boy to go get it (maybe 20-30 pesos). Tubo lang nila 10 pesos. Sometimes... wala.

What do you spend extra? Just another ten minutes worth of wait? Sounds fair to me.

Maxbuwaya, siguro sa sauna bath ka nag iinquire dati kaya ka naasar inaalok sa iyo ang galing sa kabila hehe.
Seriously, i think the other shop will give it to them at a dealer's price and they sell it to you at their srp.

Wholesale price ang maganda dito hindi ba? parang yung Transaction nyo sa cluflu? hehehehehe
(Or dahil suki ka na duon? hehehehehe)



Just a thought actually, mostly kasi na mga friends kong employee thinks its a rip off pag ganon deal ang nakuha nila hehehehe
(on a retailers level)

[kimpOy]

yeah tama sila minsan yung shop ang nag absord.. basta lang bumili ka sa kanya...

kaya minsan walang tubo kasi mas important ang seller-customer relationship.. sa susunod o sa ibang item ka tatagain hahaha (joke)

[dbuzz]

mga mga tindahan na yun eh may mga usapan yun....iba ang arrangement nila kaysa mga clients...eh sabi nga eh palitan na lang ng resibo at tuwing sabado pa ang settlement nila nun.
