Scan 3XS Pricing policy

[Vadim]

I have no idea what Scan's policy is, don't speak for them and don't know what they might do in a one-off that isn't a policy. I also understand where you're coming from.

But I have a question.

When you buy a PC, surely you agree a contract, at a moment in time, to buy a machine. That's the point at which money is taken.

While it can be galling if prices drop after that point, think of the converse situation. If prices rose after that point, would you expect Scan to be calling you and saying "We know we agreed a price and have a deal and you paid and all, but prices have gone up £30, so please pay the extra". I sure as hell wouldn't be impressed if they did that.

So the inference from this request is that if component prices go down, Scan are expected to reduce their prices, but if prices go up they're expected to absorb the hit, even if they've already ordered the bits for your build at the old prices.

It rather seems like a case of one way you win, the other way Scan lose.

In other words, and this a personal opinion and not an official HEXUS one, the request is just a bit cheeky.

Nice system! Of course, many people here will have similar configs and much in common but it's still interesting to see what individuals select and/or change on the configurator.

Hope the wait is bearable for you NightOwl, I'm going on holiday for a week so at least that should take my mind off it for a while

Well, I'm pretty patient normally so it shouldn't be too bad (sez she, who will probably be a bag of nervous energy as the actual delivery date approaches). Hee hee!

You say you're going on holiday... but I bet you'll still be wondering what the state of play is in the Scan workshops while you're away!
