Hi all 

I hear what folks are saying about what my distributor should do and I’m 
caught. Because the  OEM says it’s not a warranty issue and it’s not shipping 
damage. 

The distributor is caught in the middle. 

Distributor cut me what I think is a good deal. 

I can send them back on my dime and get another pallet. 
That’s $1400+ for shipping and my time. Drive to town pay the forklift guy wait 
all day to meet the truck on both delivery and pickup. 

Which is another $.11 watt. Vs the $.13 discount that my distributor is giving 
me.  Taken together is a $.24 per watt savings. 

So I take it the other way. The distributor is really helping me out.  And I’ll 
be sure to give the distributor more biz. 

But I won’t buy CS again and you can be sure I’ll bad mouth them for years.  It 
would have be nothing for them to cut me a  deal.  It shouldn’t have been the 
distributor who did. 

I haven’t stated the distributor specifically because there are many of you 
that feel they have done me wrong. 
I disagree and I don’t want them trashed.
