I’ve heard that boutique tech websites are getting absolutely killed by the big wholesalers charging anti competitive prices/fees. I’m talking about Ingram Micro, Tech Data, D&H, etc.
They charge a $5 order processing surcharge on every order placed with them. Talk about crazy.
If you buy a $1 item from the wholesaler, it will cost you $6. Add shipping on top of it all. It just doesnt make sense.
Too true. I have seen items listed for under two dollars, and almost five necessary for shipping costs.
I would think that Fry’s is killing Geeks more than any other competitor. I spend 10 times as much there as I do at Geeks.
