We have several facilities in Europe where we get much better pricing on AB PLCs and related items than here in the states. When I asked our AB rep to match the pricing (or at least try to come close), I was basically told NO and don't try to buy it out of Europe. They said I'd lose support here (which I can understand since they're not getting the revenues), but they also made it seem like they would make my life very difficult -- They already tried to go above my head to our plant manager! Another story completely...
My questions:
1) Has anyone else had the same experience of pricing much less in EU?
2) Has anyone gotten AB in the U.S. to match the pricing?
3) Has anyone purchased stuff from EU and shipped here?
4) What are the pros/cons from your experience?
Thanks!
