LaPiere experience

[Mike in NY]

There is an hr of my life I can never get back... Went to price check a vaccum pump and releaser to handle 500 ish taps next year. Plumbing and heating joint I do other buisness with told me they were now a a dealer. After 1/2 hr I figgered out they were only qualified to sell fittings and tubing; IF you knew what you needed and could show them. Finaly got into the right catalouge and showed THEM what I wanted. They made a call only to find out they were not authorized to sell what I wanted to buy.
from my experince they have no idea what they have, no information to help you make the purchase right for your operation or even the ability to sell it to you should you decide what pieces and parts you need.
was just rying to keep the boys at Leader Rutland honest. I shall not stray again

I wouldn't base your experience on a company that is not a dealer. I don't go to the donut shop to buy my new vehicle, I go to the car dealer. Just saying.

Thats why you need to go 10 min. north on route 7 from rutland and go and see Reg C. at longhill maple. He is a Lap. dealer. And alot cheaper than leader. You will save alot of money on a vacuum pump. Guarranteed. call him first though. 802-236-3452. Dont expect to get many answers from webbs. They are a pipe dealer for the most part. just saying

Another place close to both of these is CDL's West Rutland store (802-438-5200) the guy to talk to would be Chris Lanfear. I believe his cell is on the recording if the store is closed. Very good pricing and good service as well. He could give you a price and I think not sure, they might be having there spring sale now.I've found there pricing to be the best. Worth the call.

actuallly you can now go to CDL's superstore just south of Rutland and it just so happens they are having an open house for the next three days. They are stocking anything in the catalog at the store and they actually have someone there during regular business hours.

Have had nothing but good experiences with my Lapierre dealer but then again I can't get past Leaders crazy prizes to even give them a try on anything other then check valves. Now
i can even get them from other manufactures. Agree with 802, go with whom is recommended not all are created equal.....

just south of RT7 on 103 a couple miles. Left hand side if driving towards Ludlow, very nice store by the looks of it. I haven't stopped yet but I will, it's nice knowing some one is there and you don't have to call first to meet them.

I went to the new CDL Super Store yesterday for the open house. Looks well stocked . They said that they will have everything in there catolog there at the store. Good deals yesterday. I ordered a 10 in. CDL press and got a good deal. There was a sale on tubing for 36 a roll. Lots of evaporaters and R.OS's there on the floor . Some pretty good size ones as well.

[Amber Gold]

I was there too. The 16" membrane tower was impressive! Same capacity as three 8" membranes, but it looks like a beast to deal with. The $36/roll on the tubing was pretty sweet and picked up some rolls...couldn't pass it up.
