Auto Page was the second supplier last week to announce new actions against transshipping (following Clarion).
Auto Page said it launched its first Authorized Internet Reseller agreement. It requires Internet resellers to comply with MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements, standard warranties, etc. It also stipulates that resellers invest in quality customer service.
The problem of Internet retailers discounting below MAP and the role of suppliers in permitting such discounting is taking on new urgency as a sluggish economy and other factors continue to tax car stereo profits. The comments on the stories here and here this week speak for themselves. We thank everyone who took time out from their busy day to post their reaction.
