UK spec Audiotron Bulk Buy

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,


I've had a number of discussions with the European distributor of the
Audiotron and we have managed to come to an agreement on a bulk buy of the<= BR> 220v Audiotron.

These are the costs to ship directly to you

Qty            15 &n= bsp;    20      50   = ;   100
Price            265 = ;     262      255  =     250

Not that I expect 100 people to go for it, but that's what I've got so I'm<= BR> passing it on to you.

I had about 15 orders for the US devices, so I assume that I will have at least that number for these ones, so you're looking at a saving already ove= r
the US price of a tenner, given that you all opted for the 220v conversion.=
In the spirit of other bulk buys, I will reveal that I am making a _small_<= BR> profit on this, but given that it's less than the US price you agreed, and = I
would have made a small profit on the 220v conversions, (which obviously no= w
won't happen) I don't see there should be a problem with this.

Re: Waranties - this is what they said:
"As a EC liscensed sales agent we must honor all EC law with respect t= o
guarantees,
however, the purchaser is responible for the postage paid in both
directions."

Voltage:
"The unit will be delivered with the either a US chord or
a Scandinavian cord at this moment. We can=B4t get a favorable price for th= e
UK cord in such a short time. The voltage is 220 EC standard."

Okay, so you might have to fork out for a 3amp plug and wire it up, but tha= t
shouldn't be too taxing :)
I can give you the colour codes for the US leads if that's what we get.&nbs= p; If
it's Scandinavian, gawd knows!


So: Good price, warranty, voltage correct - there must be a downside right?=
Correct! (Unfortunately)

On Shipping:
"The delivery date for shipment from Yonkers NY, is ex=E5ected in 14 d= ays. If
this date
is met, we expect to see our order of 250 units here in Denmark by the
middle
of July. We will ship the units to the UK with a delivery time of maximum 5=
days."

Yep - that is 'July' and not 'June' - I checked with them.  They must = be
caoneing over with the devices or something!
They will be shipping direct to you and not to me though, so at least there=
will be no further delays at this end.

Everyone was happy to wait until the end of June to buy these - are we all<= BR> happy to wait now even longer????
I am because I already have one Audiotron - are you?  Remember - cheap= er and
warrantied!


This also means of course, that the previously closed list is now open
again, so anyone who wants to join the buy can, and those already in the bu= y
- please confirm you want to stay in the buy even with the longer delay.
Those who have sent me a cheque already, I will return them and you can
issue another later - unless of course you want me to keep the extra tenner= ?
:D

Oh, I forgot to ask them and have just whipped off an email about shipping<= BR> to NI/Eire/Norway just incase some of you international UKHA'ers want to ge= t
in on the act (Soz Des, I don't think NZ would be cost effective for them!)=

So there you go.  I'm off on hols for a week on Saturday, so you have = at
least a week to decide. 
Although it's ages away yet until they are shipped, I'd still like to get the order wrapped up pretty quick to ensure we get our share of the initial=
250 batch - it would be a shame if we can't get all we want in the first batch because too many get allocated elsewhere.......


Cheers,

Tony.

PS - will move this back to HABUY once it is stable and virus free...... :]=
