> To use an example, 12 months ago ToolShed had a Dewalt drill for $190 that was retailing at Mitre 10 for over $300. I went into Mitre 10 to see if they would honour their price match - 15%. The manager ended up losing his shit at me and calling both ToolShed and Dewalt because 'they're not allowed to offer it at that price'.
Not a good look, for sure. I imagine that DEWALT may dictate retail prices to position themselves in the market, or co-ordinate specials or sales across retailers which is probably why M10 was so pissed.
They don't want their brand used as a loss leader/maintain premium status or whatever and IMO that is anti-competitive.
Guessing in that situation ToolShed either jumped the gun on a special price, or got hold of some parallel imported/excess/cheap stock and dumped it. Every time we did that when I worked online retail, other retailers would complain to the distributor who would then shout at us about it.
The distributor model has its upsides and downsides, but it can be anti-competitive in some cases, especially when owned by another entity in the chain. Unfortunately manufacturers generally don't want to deal with multiple downstream distributors and exclusivity is the norm.
> Also, we can't import power tools from the US because they don't work with our power supply so options are limited in that regard.
Plugs are different, leads can often be swapped and most modern power supplies can handle the different input voltage (e.g. 100-240V
