Overview

The Midwich Price and Stock Checker is designed to enable you to quickly lookup prices and stock levels using the inbuilt functionality of your browser. By highlighting a part number on a manufacturer or competitor web site, you can quickly compare it against the pricing on the Midwich site. If the search item is referenced on the Midwich website against any part, those parts are displayed in descending price sequence. In this way, if you enquire on a printer part number, the printer will be at the top of the list and any consumables and warranties that specifically mention the search term will be shown below.
