Ok here's what I have so far:
1. We have a largish order to place and have only been offered ~10% discount;
2. We would still need to get the goods to somewhere in the UK at additional cost/hassle
3. We want better service and prices
To misquote Billy Connolly - we want it all and we want it now!
I now have authorisation to tell you some good news (well I think it is
)
Firstly - I HAVE NO COMMERCIAL INTEREST IN THIS!!!
Secondly, Greg from Land Cruisers Overland and Ian Rubie have done some digging and are off to China to see the relevant manufacturers - they are going to be able to offer the exact same products at a club special price more in line with what we want. I'll leave it to them to post up the pricing, or probably pm them to everyone interested.
I'll - over the next day or two - produce the spreadsheet of what's wanted, so there is still time to order or enquire.
I'll be waiting to see what they come up with - prices will, I believe, include UK VAT and be priced for collection from Greg (I.e. Inclusive of tspt). Pretty sure Greg can arrange fitting or onward delivery.
This also makes payment a bit less of a hassle. And gives them an order to take with. And gives us a UK supplier who focusses on the TLC and not just the green oval stuff
Up to you guys - if you're in a rush and want to pursue the Freeways buy we can go ahead. If you'd rather wait a bit and deal locally we can do that. I'm going for the latter option.
Cheers
