What is the actual cost of a Brinks service call and battery replacement?
realllyyyy?
yea, how dare you besmirch binky. those are 4 Ah batteries, you fibber you.
What is the actual price? Bueller?...Bueller?
Heh... that's nuthin' new. According to Bass, we're all a bunch of liars...
if the cust has a warranty....nothing without the warranty it's $50 for the batt....depending on how long the cust has been with brinks, there could be a $50 service charge...NOT $100!!!!
"Crash Gordon"
yes, realllyyyy!!!! you like to just throw crap out there hoping that no one knows the facts!!!! it's just more lies!!
You charge $50 for a 4AH, 12-Volt battery? ADI wholesales them at $7.99. How do you justify that 725% markup?
environmental charge.
how do you justify anything you do??!?!?
I don't have to. Unlike your company, I treat my clients fairly.
His idea of fair most likely involves a service call to not only replace the battery but to test and verify proper system operation and fix other potential problems the customer may not be aware of.
Your idea of fair is contracting a third party to mail the customer a box containing a battery
Leave it to Leuck to try to justify Brinks
Most customers seem to realize they're not going to get a service visit when they order a battery online. The real difference is I charge a fair price and give my customers more than the level of support they expect. Brinks charges outrageous prices and gives people lawsuits.
Oh ok, that's MUCH better...only 100 bucks for an 10$ battery.
don't forget you are abetting pollution of the environment by advising your vict err customers to throw the batteries in the trash. so actually that makes the rest of the planet and all ensuing generations your victim.
Leave it to Bass to avoid refuting what I said
Brinks provides monitoring and service to their customers, you contract other companies to send people parts
The funny part about that is I know the company who supplies Brinks with batteries and takes the used batteries from Brinks for recycling
excuse my density but how is that funny?
That reminds me, I have been collecting old used alarm batteries from my service calls, as well as those of other small dealers who drop them off. I used to have a guy who worked at the monitoring centre, who came by periodically to pick them up for free, but he has somehow disappeared, leaving me with several hundred old batteries to dispose of......
I haven't taken the time to call to see if they are worth anything to a metal recycler. But my wife is getting piss*d with the growing pile, so I have to do something with them, and soon. Seems to me, with the huge increase in demand for lead, they ought to be worth something. Anybody know ???
