-
- Don't really know if you are saying that you did NOT receive this Price List,
- but I did receive the new one in November.
-
- One the issue of discounts and pricing, this is what I have been told as of
- yesterday afternoon (Wednesday 12/16/92 4PM EST) when I placed an order with
- DECdirect. Upon connection to DECdirect, I was given to a gentleman named
- Bill who specifically handles TEI customers' orders. He even gave me the
- exact discount amounts and final pricing. Will this change again in Jan?
- Who knows. All of this information given to me by Bill had already been
- relayed to me from an attendee of the DECUS TEI Session given by Ellen.
- Here are the discounts as I know them...
-
- NONdiscountable items. (cables,accessories,QPB items) 7%
- Discountable items greater of DBA or 10%
- Hkits and Documentation 30%
- Licenses not covered by CSLG 50%
- Self Paced Instruction 35%
- Digital Press Books 30%
- PCs from Desktop Direct 9%
- QB items (the 3rd Party software) 30%
-
- Now, this last item (the QB items) has been a sore spot for a while with
- me. Depending on who I have spoken to, the 3rd Party software is or
- isn't discountable. If, in fact, these items are discountable at 30%,
- it opens a whole new door of opportunity for this Institution. Many of
- these items will have very attractive pricing with the discount.
-
- Of, course, I make NO claims to the validity of the above information. It
- is however the percentages dictated to me when I placed and order. Until
- I hear differently, I will continue my orders with these discounts in mind.
- Should any item come back invoiced at a different rate, we will handle
- that when it happens.
-
- If any of this information is grossly inaccurate, perhaps someone from
- Digital can at least say that "this line" is wrong and should require
- further research.
-
- In any case, I hope some of this information is helpful.
