Has anyone put together a list of Z Wave retailers and online sales?
The way I’ve been shopping for products lately is read the forums, search the random product name/number mentioned in the post(s), read the manufacturers descriptions, back to the forums for a few more searches on the product to see what people are saying about it, back to google to search the product under “Shopping” and then buy from the cheapest distributor I can find. I’ve been burned by a couple distributors and I’ve also purchased to much stuff that doesn’t do what they claim, so buying something as simple as a switch is now a half hour (minimum) process.
A repository of this info would be great. I’m always amazed that when someone posts a link to a distributor that I’ve never seen or heard of them before. Of course…I want someone ELSE to do it ![:stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:](https://community.ezlo.com/images/emoji/apple/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=12)
Good idea. Your shopping experience sounds like the rest of ours, hopefully we can help future buyers.
I’ve started just such a list of retailers that I have had experience with here: [url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Z-Wave_Retailers]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Z-Wave_Retailers[/url]
Fellow forum users, please add your own retailers to this list and add your comments in the last column for those that I have already listed so that others can get a leg up on the search process.
Thank you!
I have been goping through ASI Home sales. At first just because they had the Kwikset locks. But no matter how much I order their next day air is only around $20.00 and Even If I order that afternoon till 3:00pm It’s on my doorstep the next day by Noon.
I have been happy with them so far, But not with my VERA2 …LOL I’m sure we willl work out the bugs!
I also order from ASI Home. They have been great and orders ship super fast. It also helps that I live about 40 minutes from them. Their prices are also good as well. Highly recommended.

Just tried them this weekend and just got this response from them
"Thank You for your order.
Items will ship via Overnight in approximately 3-5 business days."
sigh Just my luck.
Wouldn’t have spent the $20 for overnight if I knew overnight would mean a week.

I hate to quote myself but I have to copy/paste an example of great customer service here.
All available items will be sent via Overnight from our Vegas warehouse at no extra charge. Items shipping are:
VRI06-1LX x2
VP00R-1LX x6
Thank you,
Barry
Thank you Barry, I truly appreciate your looking into this and finding a solution right away.
I wish more stuff would ship from there! I’m in SoCal and typically have to wait about 5 or 6 days from the ASI mother-ship.
I could of course pay for expedited delivery but I’m too tight ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.ezlo.com/images/emoji/apple/slight_smile.png?v=12)
ASI Vegas… Almost sounds like a TV show! :![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.ezlo.com/images/emoji/apple/slight_smile.png?v=12)
