Tom good job! I think we'll be in good shape!! I’ll keep you informed!!
I really appreciate your help yesterday! Of the 3 dealers I spoke to yesterday you were the "only" one that put all the pieces together and it made sense!! All I got from the other dealers is " this is not a correct part number"…when actually it was!

Thanks Tom, please let me know when they will be shipped.

Finally we got to the right person to make this happen.

Thanks to Tom getting some feedback on a quote he did recently, I’ve been able to beat up on Unistrut a little bit and they have lowered
our into stock pricing for strut. Tom got a hard copy of his competitor’s quote which always provides good ammunition.
For example P4100T-10PG was $109.93, it’s now $85.50 (-23%). Fittings & straps stay the same.
New pricing should be loaded into Eclipse in a couple of days.
