Title: WFP suppliers prices to much or not
Post by: Erithwc on October 18, 2011, 07:57:22 pm
Hi
 
how long will it be before the suppliers bring the prices for wfp part, systems and poles down. with more and more window cleaners converting to wfp the suppliers must be able to get their items mass produced which will be cheaper for them.

what are your thoughts on this personally i think some of the prices for stuff are ridiculous

thanks erithwc

most of the stuff for wfp is a rip off, and most of it is crap,  sick of spending money on stuff that doesnt work or last

Have said this before on here.

We pay Snap-On money for Halfords quality.

Nothing we have used is 100% capable of carrying out the job they are sold for. They are adapted from other industries and applications, and not specifically for our industry.

Leaking/failing fittings, hose and reel combinations not being suitable, pole clamps coming away, I c

Leaking/failing fittings, hose and reel combinations not being suitable, pole clamps coming away, I could go on, but life's too short.

As far as I can see it, no-one will develop specific equipment for the industry as it simply isn't a big enough demand.

People like Gardiners provide us with products designed to save time, weight and effort, which is as good as I think we will get. Can't ever see a 100% bulletproof wfp set up from start to finish.

Youre right because most trad cleaners are too stupid to cope with a computer and "that World Wide Web thing" so they never make it to forums.
