Buy a mini reel, that's what I did, 40 quid or so. Spool it onto a spare 5kg reel - job done.

Thanks. Pushing things out a little far for us though. Got a sort of 45 mins to an hour rule - just in case of stoppages

That would cover north Manchester, Lancaster. Bradford Preston etc

Best sub 200 amp mig around period. Well done with a great purchase. Ewm usually supply through distributors like Jim. I wasn't aware they dealt direct. Fair play. That machine has no competitor that I can think of simply because it's so much better than the other boys trying to catch up with it.

That`s unfair.A supplier has a distributor in the area and still sells direct!If the supplier has an enquiry they should put them on to the local distributor

I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
For all we know a deal could of been struck with the local distributor prior to the sale.

In reply to Appyasme1, in our local area around our head office, we are our own distributor, as we support our products with demonstrations and service back up etc. We are also distributors of third party products in our area. I hope this clarifies.

If only the Distributors could be trusted to do the same. If the local distributor can make more money on another machine they will often try to sell that first. Unfortunately its a dog eat dog and theres not much loyalty either way.
Some relationships are better than others.

I can only speak as i find, The reception that I received as a private buyer was second to non, Everything demonstrated and explained by by people that knew the product inside out. Very impressed indeed.

No supplier has a product range to suit every customer that walks in the door, I push EWM as my premium brand but it's not what everybody needs or wants. That's why there is a second third and fourth option to cover the broad spectrum of client requirements.
To be fair EWM pass on plenty of leads in my area so I can't and wouldn't complain about them doing direct business where they can. Not all clients want to work with a distributor anyway and feel rightly or wrongly that they will be better supported by going straight to source.
I've had plenty of supplier/dealer relationships struggle for one reason or another but EWM seem to have the balance about right.

Our philosophy is that every customer is equally important to us, particularly the private users who are choosing to invest their own personal cash in our products and services.

That is something a lot of business in my country should think about.

There is a lot of them that wont even open the door for those without a registered business.
When its easier to find and buy parts from china something is wrong, right?

And for the discussion about going to the source rather than local distributor, its probably for a good reason that the local guy should think twice about. Answer is too often about customer service
