I have had an email from a supplier of our's today asking us to amend our pricing to be in line with the suppliers RRP.

Now i'm pretty sure that's against the law? Surely that would constitute as price fixing?

Anyone on here in the know?

Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty sure the supply will stop selling to us but i've got the hump and told them so.

I'll show the emails to my solicitor. It just annoys me. We sell everything new with a 35% margin and they are emailing us telling us to raise our prices and that all other sellers have. If we don't they will stop supplying us.

If they did stop supplying us, it wouldn't make that much difference to us (profit wise) overall but it's just the principal of it that's annoyed me.
