Group purchase - Awnings

[Sydney1]

Would anyone be interested in getting involved in a group buy to secure a bulk purchase discount on awnings?. I'd just like a rough idea on numbers for now and perhaps the awning you are interested in. Target minimum discount would be 10% but I think there should be potential for a fair bit more.

I did this with my club, and saved a good few quid 8)

deffinately interested in details fella...

Easy

Who did you purchase from and what sort of numbetrs and discount did you get?

 

[easy]

I ordered about 10 i think and JK gave me something like 15% discount

Now the easiest option would obviously be to purchase one type of awning by a specific manufacturer but reality says that we will all have different requirements. If we could agree on a particular manufacturer (I'm interested in a Khyam for instance) I'm sure we could still get a decent discount even with a requirement for different models within the range.

I'vejust had the first reply back for my initial enquiries confirming that "a discount" would be offerred on a bulk purchase. The level of discount would be based on model, availability might potentially be an issue but the supplier has a good relationship with Khyam, they would not want to lose business if they could help it and it is still early in the season. So as these things can potentially take a while to arrange, lets see who would want what "in principal";

I've now made initial contact with about 6 of the main distributors in the southern area and will punt it around to 2 or 3 more around the country just in case there are regional differences in attitude to discounting. Initial indications are a discount of 10% which tends to equate to the natural variation between suppliers, however I'm pretty sure we can do better once they see the numbers (I also have a number of interested parties on JK.

What I plan to do it see where we are with numbers say next Friday, send out a formal enquiry based on numbers across the product range at the time, report back and then give everyone say another week to come on board or not.

Everyone happy with that? Happy to take suggestions of suppliers based on your own homework!

I might be interested in just a Groundsheet for the kyham motorhome sleeper.

[Sydney1]

These are the best prices so far which include delivery to your own address

Khyam Quick erect sleeper including groundsheet - £418.49 each
Khyam Quick erect sleeper without ground sheet - £382.50 each
Khyam Driveaway with sewn in ground sheet – Can’t get from this supplier but still trying
Khyam Motordome Classic no groundsheet - £292.50 each
Khyam Quick erect Tourer including groundsheet – £296.09 each

Is everyone is happy with these as a worse case?
Stocks are diminishing all the time so we need to conclude this fairly quickly.

 

[Sydney1]

Can you all please come back to me to confirm that you are still interested at the above "maximum" prices as we will need to place an order soon. I may still get slightly better prices when the final quotes come in tomorrow

Thanks
