- I have been in the market for a telebit Worldblazer modem, I am in
- Belgium and I have posted a request for someone who would be willing
- to sell me one.
-
- I just thought I would inform all or any of you who may be interested
- what the story is about Telebit in Europe.
-
- First of all Telebit themselves won't sell to Europe from the states,
- they automatically give you their distributor in UK.
-
- Some American companies will send to Europe and the best price is $645
- and the worse is $780.
-
- Now for the funny part, and this will explain why so many people buy
- their computer and electrical equipment from the states, the salesman
- at Telebit UK is called Richard Brayshaw his phone number is
- +44.784441986, be prepared for a long wait on the phone as he seems to
- be the only salesman, here comes the funny part, the price in UK is 945
- pounds, is this a fu****g joke or what, ok, I am in Belgium and so he
- gave me the Benelux distributor information, this is a company called
- Vagner +352.310881, I called them, I asked for Telebit sales and I was
- put through to 3 people before someone informed me that they were
- unauthorized to give the prize.
-
- I am not quite sure what is funniest, the 945 pounds from UK or the
- Luxembourger not being authorized.
-
- So, if you want a Telebit, you buy one from the states, of course
- without warranty or you buy another brand, I suggest we give Telebit a
- miss and give them a big rasberry.
