That's typical...all these guy's that work at these places are boat anchor heads so, unless it's a boat anchor they don't know what they're talking about. It's so bad they think customers only want parts for boat anchors.

It's so bad they think customers only want parts for boat anchors. a boat anchor head still knows how to pass a part number on to wharehouse. so long as you know what you want it doesn't matter if the guy on the phone doesn't. and just like you or me, they can only know so much. No one can be expected to every thing about every thing. If you don't know what you want, a sales rep in a wharehouse is the last place you should be looking for advice. although spending as much as we do with them we have one guy we deal with and he doesn't deal with the public, Quote: 've found VPW are more likely to whack some off the price of an order.
