Anyone here interested?

If you're not a member of Detailing World, then you'll not have seen this thread running there:
Detailing World

The gist of it is thus:
"I'm awaiting info on discount levels for 20+ on their bag, and shipping costs - especially since they generally don't do international beyond Canada.
So, assuming I can persuade them to do:
a) a GB discount, and
b) ship directly to me rather than have me use someone in the US as an intermediary
can I get an idea as to how many of you would genuinely be in on this - even if the discount was 0%?
At $35 it's not that bad a price anyway - but as Tesco says, "every little helps".



I'm sure any additional items (probably excluding bottle products) could be catered for too.

Over to you now....."

with this recent posting:

"Well, the e-mail arrived and the jury's out on whether UPS are having a giraffe or serious- $2400 for 50 units!
With a 15% discount, we're looking at $76 a piece, and that's not including import duties nor VAT, nor shipping within the UK.

I'm going to phone them now and ask if that's a pallet price or 13 boxes with 4 bags in each.
I suspect a pallet consignment will be much cheaper.
At the price above, I'd imagine £42 is nearer the case, which may just be the death knell for the deal.
Let me see what I can do to make it more attractive for us all."

and this latest one:

"Okay, awaiting a reply on pallet pricing to see if we can shift a shed load of $$$.
On the basis of no difference, then the actual price delivered to your door via Special Delivery (or 1st Recorded, saving a massive £1!) will be £53.
This is based on presuming duties will be 10% and declaring the correct amount.
Fiddling this results in a £2 difference max, so it's hardly worth doing.

So, at this drastically different price than anticipated (thanks UPS!!), who's still in?

Let the list begin.......

If you'd clicked on the image, and removed some of its url, you'd have seen it was a company who does detailing products, one of which is the bag above, which you can store your various products.
Just a nice way to keep everything together in the boot of the car, or under the stairs, etc.

What happened to the edit facility?

Anyway, meant to add........http://www.griotsgarage.com/

£53 for a bag?! I think I'd be better spending my money on the products it contains...

[PJS]

Update:

Finally managed to get them to source another shipping company, so the new price is £40 by Recorded Delivery to your door.

£40 for a bag. No thanks.

[PJS]

Yeah, just like £15K for 'a car' - people attribute values on things differently.

As my mother always used to say, "If you've nothing worth saying, then it's not worth saying anything!"

[bucketp]

Nope I keep mine in a box in the shed, why on earth would you spend that sort of money on a bag to carry polish etc?

[Type S Bournemouth]

if it was £40 including some stuff inside maybe. i thought it was at first when i saw the prices shown.

I've never "met" such a bunch of gurners!
In much the same way a tradesman carries his tools in something similar rather than a shopping bag or a cardboard box, this is for the same purpose in the back of the car or if you go round family/friends doing theirs for beer tokens.

Now, if all you ever do is leave your stuff in the understairs cupboard or the garage/shed, then it's fairly evident this is of no interest to YOU.
Therefore, there's no point in even replying to comment on its price or whatever else - so why bother, unless you get some perverse pleasure in being negative and/or antagonistic?

Unless it's just me, if this item was of no interest to me for whatever reason, then it wouldn't cross my mind to post in the thread, never mind making a remark on the price.

[PJS]

Well it's obviously not what you'd do, as evident with this thread!
Ho hum....
