About Industrial Automation
Most of us think of the local sales rep when we think of industrial automation parts. Let's face it, Amazon seems to come to mind more often for books, movies, sneakers, or coffee makers.
However, there are plenty of industrial automation components listed on Amazon and sold at, or below, retail cost thanks to the low overhead costs at Amazon. Some of these parts are surplus, and others are simply brand new OEM automation components.
Amazon sellers use the low overhead to provide the commercial consumer with lower prices. More businesses are opening prime accounts to take advantage of the 2 day shipping policy, but even without these prime accounts can take advantage of express and overnight shipping when available. It comes at a price, but in many cases, still beats your local automation rep's pricing.
