content: The list price is $770, so it’s not much of a deal.The same page shows the actual system for $2505.80.Proofreading is a lost art.

content: If it were Amazon I'd say go for it, but:1. Whatever it is, they don't have it in stock, so it could be months before it ships (but they will probably charge your card right away, so when you get it, it might be too late for a chargeback).2. Since it's Tequipment, when you get the wrong item, it's certain to be a hassle to return it.

content: Quote from: TimFox on February 16, 2025, 05:03:28 pmIndeed. But the page is listing the combination of the $2680 meter and $821 card for $719.95. Keithley DAQ6510/7700 is a specific model that includes both the DAQ and the card, and retails for ~$3400. Proofreading the page will also note the attached screenshot from it, which states that both the meter and card are included.Anybody willing to take the risk might get lucky, but as stated, it's Tequipment, and they're F'ing terrible.

content: Alright, so 2 people posted issues with Tequipment. Can I ask what the problem is? All of my "new" purchases have been made from Tequipment for bench top equipment. I have thought about purchasing from Saelig, but you have to respond to the thread to get the promo code, lol. You can search the discount code for Tequipment.Regardless, is there a reason I should change the distributer I get my equipment from?

content: Quote from: trilerian on February 16, 2025, 06:45:05 pmThey seem to find a different way to mess up each order, but basically you can't trust their in stock status or delivery dates, they can't answer product questions, and the customer service people are clueless.QuoteOnly if you think you might need customer service.

content: Quote from: edavid on February 17, 2025, 09:34:02 pmIt really depends on the state, and how stubborn you are. Each state has their own rules, and some are more strict than others. In Massachusetts we have "Pricing Laws." Other states have their own variations, try searching different state rules, as retail is mostly under state law.Tequipment probably has a disclaimer somewhere saying they go by NJ law since that's where they are.QuoteThat's from:https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/News/Brochures/Consumer-Shopping-Guide.pdf

content: Quote from: edavid on February 18, 2025, 04:46:27 amInternet sales are still retail sales. The only question is if you follow the laws of the seller's or customer's state. Usually, the store will have a disclaimer somewhere stating they follow the rules of their state.
