tough talk, LOL

[blacksheep10]

so after EMJ quoted me $3.98/ft for the DOM I have been inquiring about, I sent this email back to the guy setting up my account:

Matthew,
My KS retail tax number is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I want to set up an account with EMJ because of the wide range of products that your company carries. What concerns me initially is that the quote on 200' of DOM tubing was more than 35%/ft more than one of your competitors for the same material in the same quantity. If my small business isn't going to get the voume required to get a price break (I can't imagine a 35% break anyway) then maybe I need to shop elsewhere. I am pretty sure you quoted me $3.95/ft for 1 3/4" DOM 1020 round tubing in a wall of .120". One of your competitors quoted $2.85/ft for the same material. If this is too far out of your ballpark I won't go through with troubling you guys for an account. Please reply and tell me if I am on the right track and we can get together or if we are going to call it a wash
Thank you for your time,

He replies back very promptly with a quote of a DOLLAR less per foot, plus $18 for delivery from north KC (1 hour away) HOLY ****. That's $200 over the order of 200' (if my math is correct ). while he was at it he set up my account and gave me all my info and set up a shipment. Fawesome! I still have to charge tax on the sale of the tube, but that's part of it. Fawk yeah

MattS and I went in on 500'?? way back when through EMJ and they really came through. Best part was Matt came down, to haul it all back to Omaha, and built my shitty XO for free.

$18 for delivery? You can't even drive to JoCo for that! NICE!

[Bones]

Cage for the Tahooooo?

Want to slap some axles and tube to the Vitty? God damn that'd be fun around Kurts place! :'(

 

[Juan_Hong_Loe]

Good to hear! Yeah sometimes you just need to play hardball.

Miles is taking a trailer down on the 19th of JAN, how soon you talking we get that way a fair amount

through EMJ and they really came through.

guess I need to price some 2" 7075 T6 for wyatt's links.

 

[blacksheep10]

Okay, I'm your new hookup for 7075 T6 aluminum solid links. Branik is at $30/ft, locally wyatt only found $36/ft. I can do them for $25/ft 6' minumum. Threading and tapping prices aren't set yet. Prices are of course fluid, so a price quote is neccessary every time unless I have the material on hand.

 

[1TONZR2]

damn those pop cans are expensive!!!

I dont know when I will be back up that way....

 

[zr2x350]

I can grab it for you Brian.

 

[muchado]

I just found out from my dad the reason we got such a killer price is our **** was ran thru under the B/E Aerospace account....... No wonder noone would do $2.85 a foot off the street Glad they got that **** down for ya, $3ish is still a killer price for DOM


CHEAPER THAN FAWKING DIESEL!!!

 

[blacksheep10]

I set up an account with Royal Metals there in Olathe, put up my tax ID and ****, talking about a $800 order and they come back with $4.35/ft. highest yet!
