 Rates vary in city

Dear Sir,

We have an association of computer traders and professionals in Chandigarh. It was indeed a pleasure to see Log in…. Tribune on Mondays. The articles published had the depth and knowledge level expected from a reputed daily like The Tribune.

However, the section, latest offering was a disappointment.

The prices published are the prices prevailing in Delhi and do not take into account the local levies of Chandigarh. Other factors such as freight, warranty terms etc. too seem to have skipped the mind.

The Tribune is a widely circulated daily in this region and shapes the minds of its readers. May we request you to please check out the prevailing prices in Chandigarh and publish the same? In an event you wish to continue publishing the Delhi prices, please mention the following:

1.Freight is extra

2.Local levies in Chandigarh are extra viz. 4.4 per cent.

Also, in Delhi the warranty terms on all products are carry in. For on sight warranty, the charges are extra.

Such things should be made clear so that a local customer in Chandigarh does not feel that he has been taken for a ride.
