Which Sacs to buy?

[jleger98]

kinda has a nice ring to it, don't it? "Group buy on fly high"

[anhaney]

I would assume the more buyers the better, but Anhaney would need to answer that for sure.

I was just told that if I can make the first order of the new contract over $1000.00 I will get a price reduction for the whole year and term of the contract. They also have all kinds of other finance terms that I have to agree to but have not. They charge like 15% of total purchased in different types of finance charges. I will not agree to those terms because I found out that the manufacture is also selling on EBAY direct. So I am working the terms of contracts and if they don't want to give in some areas then it will not be worth us dealing with them. They seem to be a little pricey on there products because of finance charges that are not normal in this kind of business. I told them we are working on a group buy of the product and the Account manager is working on it for us. My goal is to make sure we as a group don't get burned by there hidden fees. That is where they are really making money. The finance charges are for example you have to pay with credit card but there is a 6% finance charge for credit card transactions. You can order COD but there is a 10% charge for COD Ect, Ect. I do not agree to those kinds of terms. And I have several other places that I do business with now and they don't charge those kind of terms.

More to come via private email.

So you make a buy over 1k and then they give you a discount, but then charge you a 15% "finance" fee???? What is being financed? Its essentially a cash transaction. Is it just less hassle to buy straight off ebay?

[jleger98]

Oh, I see those sorts of finance fees. Work your magic and let us know.

Thanks again for the effort!

he got the deal, and will be contacting you soon I'm sure.

[jleger98]

Yup, already got the email. He's just checking on shipping stuff before I order.

For the record, I just found this: http://www.wakesurfstore.com/

If you scroll down, they sell the same sacs for the same price (give or take a dollar) and they offer free shipping!!

jleger98 you are killing me. I am fighting hard to get this deal for us. I don't know that they will give up freight. They have a $10.00 minimum on freight unless the order over $3000.00. I am working with them on this to see what we can do but I am not sure we will win this one. The way this person is giving up freight is they made there initial order over $3000.00 and they were given a 10% back of Mandatory pricing so they rolled that into freight charges. Depending on freight cost to each location we may be able to get that covered. I need shipping info send it to me via personal email and I can nail this down. Also the factory told me the EBAY deal is factory seconds. They are aware of that issue. I am sure we will figure out a way to take care of freight some how. We also have access to all the other items and accessory's

I may have to retract my comment earlier. I get really displeased when companies try to stick you with hidden costs...

It is no doubt they have great product. I am also learning though as I am not a business owner so this is not my every day job. I do this to help out all the members here on the board. I think I would go insane if this was my everyday job and if had to try to compete for business to make a living. Now I do contract negotiations in my every day job but it is on a large scale of Multi million dollar items and shipping and handling is the easy part because it is huge freight shipments and not this little UPS to a home stuff. They nail it to the general public for freight. It sucks.

[Domsz06]

always has been stick it to the little people.

I haven't bought anything. I'm going to go along with your deal if its better, or even same....for that matter only a few bux more. I certainly wasn't suggesting go buy at this other place, just putting it out there. If you can leverage it, go for it. That said, if they are just gonna stick us with "hidden" costs, I say screw em. Take our business elsewhere. (Absolutely no disrespect to you there either. We all appreciate your effort.) These guys are either eating the shipping or there is a better price to be had. My zipcode is 55449. If you need more, I'll PM it to you.

Fly Hi Group Buy

Hay guys, I am working on the possibility of a group buy for us with one of the Ebay stores. This would be an "Off" Ebay by, coupled with the volume of multiple buyers and may be able to save us 10-15% of the sellers Ebay Buy it Now price.

If Fly High will not give Anhaney a competitive price, then would any of you be interested in another route.

Let me know

[jleger98]

I'm in if Anhaney gets stonewalled. but I want to get it done soon. I have no ballast right now in my boat.

[Domsz06]

just let me know, i'll probably buy a small one, or if someone want's to go halves on the twin side sac, I only need one small 250, but I guess I could get two, replace mine in the other side front too and just keep an extra for spares. Just let me know.
