I rented a piece of electronic test equipment this week from Electro Rent for a project I’m working on. I hadn't heard of Electro Rent until last week, when someone online referred me to them. The price was well under the typical rule-of-thumb saying that the monthly rental cost should be about 10% of the cost of buying the equipment new. The equipment arrived the next day. Once I started using it, however, I realized it didn’t have all the capabilities I needed. So I sent an e-mail yesterday afternoon to the sales person at Electro Rent saying I’d like to rent a different piece of equipment. I wondered if I could get a partial refund for the equipment I already rented and whether I would have to return what I had before we could look into renting something different.
It turns out they made it easy. Amazingly Electro Rent had the exact piece of equipment I asked about shipped to my office my office this morning, less than 24 hours after I sent an e-mail asking about different equipment, without me having to fill out any paperwork. Electro Rent will only charge for shipping and any difference in rental cost between the two pieces of equipment. It’s amazing how quick, painlessly, and inexpensively you can get a piece of test equipment.

Test Equipment Rental Test Equipment needs will not last for long, so why buy if your needs is only good for a month or less? New equipment cost is highly different from renting one yet they have the same services offered.
ReplyDeleteBut if the rental prize of the electronic test equipment is the same prize as the new one why rent.You can still reuse the equipment if u need it.
