Subject: [TN] Getting More, and Not Paying More


There is a lot of discussion about getting paid for removal of no-clean
flux,
with some insistance that the customer pay for it....

This is amusing....

It is pretty common for PCB fabricators to take on more difficult jobs,
over-plating them, then wanting suppliers to give them a stripper that will
remove the more difficult pattern, at no extra cost, "just to demonstrate
that they want the business, and are part of the team".  There is a common
sense that we have dialed a certain cost into a given operation, and it is
up
to the vendors to maintain costs, no matter what sort of job is put
through....

It does seem that this sort of approach is endemic in our industry, and a
good part of the reason is that it is SO difficult to pass these costs up
the
chain.  And, of course, this is because we, as consumers, are used to
getting
more in electronics, without paying more.

What goes around comes around.
