Thank you

Job has been awarded to a local vendor for $2.85 ea. with a blanket purchase order for 1300 pcs. with a release of 325 pcs. every 3 months samples have been recieved and accepted wothout a P.O. even being issued! (this is how jobs get awarded, go the extra mile, leave the tissues behind)

Regretfully there is way to much drama on this forum and I am afraid my expierience here has not been what was expected. There were spacific instructions given to those who would be quoting and we still did not recieve one fax and only info., capabulities and a facility list from only one respondant.

We recieved only 5 quotes from the forum two between $9.00 and $11.00 and one under $5.00 and two under $3.50.

From only 5 quotes recieved from this thread there had been a total of 50 replies and 1470 views and from all of that drama I think I answered one question. Go figure! Whats going on here? Theses numbers tell a bigger story.

Practicalmachinist.com is more of a discussion forum the experimental shop backyard guys / hobby shops should go there to vent their fustrations about incapabulities of being competitive or create another thread for this unproductive activity, in fact most of the complainers did not even atempt to submit a price of any sort.
Quote. Don't Quote. Move on. Thats it. Move on to something more productive and profitable.
Hopefully in the future processing RFQ's will be a little bit more productive and alot less dramatic.
Only time will tell, we'll see....
