The used and reconditioned test equipment market can be a zoo with some unusual beasts but none stranger than the inventory phantom! \u00a0These companies list on their website thousands of pieces of equipment, but strangely, many of them do not include prices. \u00a0Our view on this is that its impossible for a customer to make up their mind if they want a piece of equipment without knowing how much they will be expected to pay for it. \u00a0So why do these equipment vendors do this? \u00a0Because they don’t actually have the equipment! \u00a0They may share stock lists with another vendor or they may simply start to acquire\u00a0that piece of equipment once they get an inquiry but either way they are\u00a0not ready to ship. \u00a0Of course this benefits that vendor since they save the costs associated with maintaining an inventory.<\/p>\n
Our philosophy is that our customers expect us to maintain inventory on any piece of equipment they might buy from\u00a0us and have it ready for shipment. \u00a0Of course our inventory is limited and we may not have what you want but that’s inevitable. \u00a0We expect that the search engine you probably used to locate this equipment will take you to one of our competitors who will have what you want. \u00a0What isn’t\u00a0inevitable is not being transparent about what inventory we have, what it will cost you, and when we can ship it. \u00a0 \u00a0All equipment listed on our website is tested,\u00a0has\u00a0a price displayed, and is available for immediate shipment. \u00a0Our idea of immediate is that if you order by 1PM it ships the same day. \u00a0If for any reason this can’t happen we’ll let you know right away so you can decide if you want to purchase elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
