I had promised myself not to answer certain types of messages anymore but, since someone dared to question my words, I will write a long post, and I apologize for that, which explains how the agreement with Siap+Micros works
Siap+Micros does NOT sell directly to private individuals, there is no possibility, to date, that it can do so, Siap+Micros only supplies accredited bodies and research institutes.
Siap+Micros does not have official resellers but only authorized resellers, it is an important distinction, the official reseller buys under reserved conditions from this company and only from company alone and resells and takes care of the assistance of the products, obviously applies a percentage of profit that unfortunately, often exceeds the discount obtained by the company but still remains on average competitive.
Authorized resellers, which I call with a nickname perhaps disrespectful, the "aggregators" are resellers who have an agreement to be able to purchase products from a certain company, with a discount decidedly lower than that of official resellers, they are not official for the reason that they purchase from multiple companies, sometimes even competitors.
These also apply, rightly so, their percentage of profit but are, by necessity, less competitive and are not listed on Siap+Micors website.
Another important aspect, authorized resellers, usually, do not have their own warehouse and work on sales, which obviously lengthens shipping times.
The only possibility, to date, for Siap + Micros to be able to supply products to private customers is through the agreement with MeteoNetwork.
Unfortunately, at least as long as this agreement remains in force, and since it is a stable and satisfactory relationship for both parties it is not in question, I am the only person authorized to decide whether a direct supply to a private individual can be made or not, a decision that arises from some evaluations.
There is a technical evaluation, which concerns the installation, the microclimate, the presence or absence of quality competitors used in comparison etc.
The user who makes the request is also evaluated, as well as his/her way of presenting himself/herself within the social networks and industry forums etc.
Unfortunately, for these evaluations, I am the only person in charge, and in the event of non-acceptance of a request, I only report it to the applicant and, for fairness, to Siap+Micros itself.
Likewise, I have the right to decide the supply conditions which can be on the price list, which is already competitive because at the source, with a 10% discount from the price list or in some cases, with a 50% discount even if for limited quantities and periods.
Those who do not see the request accepted can contact authorized retailers, which I know perfectly well but which I will not list, since they can be easily found with a correct search, they will necessarily have to wait a little longer and pay a higher cost.
I hope I have cleared up any doubts and I hope I will not read any more sarcastic and irreverent comments, I think that for these the task is of the forum moderation.
