Canadian & HiFi

[tawwwd]

Couldn't you Canadians just order it from BRD and ship it to a US address?

Yes, but unless you live by the border to go across and pick it up its not worth it.

Alex is a good guy and as Dukes mentioned we would cancel an order from a Canada Billing address and forward you to Alex for support. We have honored each others agreements from Day 1 and this will not change going forward.

Nope, they both honor distribution territory's. It's only fair.

US is BRD's territory though...as long as you initially ship it to a US address, wouldn't it be fine?

I think to keep it simple is if it's a US address then that's what it is. Just don't advertise that you are in Canada and having it shipped to the US for pick up, I would think IMHO. Not that I would encourage people t do that, but if I was going to be in the US from Canada for what ever reason and I don't want my package left at home while I was away, then ship it to where your going to be at in the US I guess.

It's good business ethics to respect your counter partners sales boundaries.

When people make a habit of circumventing their local dealer to save a few bucks, the dealer may eventually go out of business. Now where is your support? This is exactly how Walmart & Amazon have taken over. Try getting BRD type service from the omnipotent mega-retailers.

Local or not who cares? Everything is global anyway. These guys are Internet dealers just like Walmart and Amazon online. BRD is way cheaper than KMPH even when you factor in exhange and shipping, why is that? Where is the competition? Why can't the consumer choose instead of taking it up the tail pipe because "he's a nice guy"?

It's about support, read the forum a bit, look at the myriad instances of customer support that you just won't get from big box stores.
But hey, if you like corporate America and all that goes with that, well...that's your choice.

I'm not aware of KMPH being on here yet I am forced to buy from him. I'd love to buy from BRD because of his involvement but my order was cancelled. So what's your point here?

[FJR1300]

No point dude, carry on. Merry Kwanzaa, peace out.

BRD will soon be selling the HiFi units at $99 + shipping. The discounted price was a promise he made to customers that already purchased ALPs and wanted the HiFi upgrade. First batch only then $99 + shipping.
