Hi Darren,



Quick note:



BULK DISCOUNTS: offered to clubs, or groups of individuals for single orders of



1 to 4 systems: no discount offered.

5 to 9 systems: 15%

10 to 19 systems: 25%

20 to 40 systems: 33%

> 40 systems 40%



n.b. discounts do NOT apply to Optional extras i.e. switches, Chafegard and/or antifreeze.



Firetec equipment should NOT be re-packaged and sent out again. Correct packaging requires means of ensuring that the tube exits from the cylinder at an uninterrupted 90 degrees and that the cylinder can not move or rotate at all within the box. Polly-pellets, bubble wrap or newspaper is useless for this. Further the equipment itself is classified as hazardous and requires special arrangements with carriers. n.b. most carriers including the GPO etc. will not carry fire extinguishers at all.



We can deliver single or multiple units directly to end users addresses at £17.50 per address, providing:

the end user has provided his/her required build spec, payment in full has been received, and a day time

business delivery address and telephone number etc. has been received.



I would need know which build specs you and your friends want.



Regards



Tim.

Question now is, when are we gonna pull the plug on numbers and place the order? 20 names plus or forty??

I would suggest we set a date and names need to be in the hat and paid, so long as we are over 20, if we get more names its a bonus!

PS just chucking in a thought!

Looks like the goal posts have been moved from previous Club buys of 20 people to get 40%

Bummer[/quote]

I sent them an email over the discount scheme to see if he could improve it and is a no go. This is his responce!

Hi Darren

Discount rate is partially dependent on availability of the actualfire extinguishing cylinders, which varies wildly from year to year.
40% for 20 units must have been when we had a glut of cylinders,and must have been some time ago.
We fix a discount rate each year.
We have always strived to give 40% for 40+ systems, for T2owners… (as we too have a motor-home) …. and which is actually ourdistributor’s discount rate.
For Renault and other vehicle manufacturers we give 40% for 100+systems!
For construction jobs in London (kitchen fire suppression systems)we give 40% for 200+ systems!
Hope this helps

Regards
Tim
