Discounts at Griots?

The HACK · 10-23-2003, 12:59 PM

Hey, do we get any special discounts at Griots garage? Any promotional code you can share 'Nut?

Anyone?

Sorry, I missed this one. At this time there is no agreement for a discount. Griots is a huge supporter of the local club and donates a lot of items but doesn't give discounts. As they explain it they feel if they gave a discount to one group they would feel obligated to do it for all.

Additionally, at this time, we are pretty small, hopefully when we grow we can negotiate something.

Sorry guys,
D.

free shipping would be nice... shipping is usually so darn expensive... would be nice if I could place smaller orders instead of waiting to place a HUGE one once a year... like now I wouldnt mind some MF towels...

Dun't matter...I need more interior cleaner, more car wash solution, and one of their synthetic weave chamois very soon, so I'll probably just place the order sometime this week.

Thanks for checking 'nut.

Doug -- how about group buy discounts? Can you float that proposition with them?

For example, a GB on MF towels could probably put together a sizable quantity from the board. Especially if we can coordinate it with some other event that many (most?) of us will be attending, facilitating a bulk drop point.

Just a thought...

Or setup as a vendor and pass the savings alone to us, with you taking a small percentage to keep paying the server bills? Since this is a small community and membership is screened, there shouldn't be any problem with word getting back to Griots and their vendors about US getting better pricing.
