Employee purchase through trials companies

[RyanMcVicker]

We have about 3 trials riders at our shop plus a couple other riders that don't work there... We were wondering if it would be worth it to email or call up companies like echo or tryall or anyone who makes trials frames/rims whatever... Would any of these companies consider dealing with our shop and letting us buy stuff at cheaper than retail prices?

anythings worth a shot. whats the worst they can say? "no".. dang..

The discount that your shop gives you is the only break you're gonna get.
Why would they give YOU and YOUR FRIENDS a special rate? I mean what added value would Koxx get for giving you and a couple of guys cheap frames?

Common sense will answer most questions in life.

Sorry if you don't like my answer.

If you're talking about buying a whole stock of stuff, and kinda acting like a retailer for them, I don't see why they wouldn't let you do it. There sounds like you have a bunch of trials riders in the area too, so maybe your shop will want to start selling trials stuff.

If you're just asking for them to give you a discount on regular stuff just because you work for a shop, then it probably won't happen. But who knows, maybe they'll see you as a way to advertise how great of a company they are.

At any rate, call em up and ask. There's a 50% chance that you won't get a discount, but if you never ask, it's 100%.

good luck "calling up" koxx.

[TTownJon]

or deng for that matter....

[Dr Game]

could be hard maybe? i really don't know.. closes things I can get a discount where I work are tires, rims and hubs, chains and breaks.. i can't get trials bars, or stems or frames.. some nice crank sets.. but no super trials ones...

if your a chain store I don't think it's likely.. but if your a small home town shop.. then I'd say you'd have a good chance..

Hahaha

I would contact the NA distributors. You won't get anywhere with echo. The stuff isn't that expensive in the first place. Look at other cycling disciplines.

ken at the trialsin shop is who i would contact for koxx, he seems to have that situation handled, echo would be tim @ trialsin or maybe even webcyclery.

[trialsin usa]

We do wholesale with authentic shops for a few different items. More ZHI and Aorta frames/rims/CNC brake mounts etc.... around first or second week of August. More (finally) Plazmatic PMGs around the same time. Give a call with proper info (i.e. location, biz resale/tax number etc...) and we'll get you hooked.

Typically factories leave wholesale end of things to designated importer/distributor as they are more familiar with who is legit and who is not. Because we all drive Ferraris.......blah, ha, ha, ha......

tim knows whats going down, he drives a ferrari.

"ken at the trialsin shop is who i would contact for koxx, he seems to have that situation handled"

uh no...

If you want to sell Koxx as a dealer, you have to go through their distributors, Division 8 in Canada, in the US I thought it was Tim?

For Echo/ZOO/GU/Adamant, Deng will sell direct to any shop in the world.

I'm going to wash the Ferrari now...correct that, I'm going to go watch my people wash my Ferrari now.

[THEDEMOLITIONMAN]

I thought Tim was the US KOXX importer as well..

i thought ken didnt deal with koxx anymore?
hugo deals through koxx why not call him and talk to him about it.

[willbed]

For those who wouldn't know, here in Canada, simply contact us at Div8 (request (at) division8 (dot) ca)... We try to keep a good inventory of almost everything KOXX and TryAll. We don't sell directly. Dealers accross the country who are interested in the products usually are able to get their hands on what they need within a couple days.

We have this PDF file available for download, only SRPs are listed in there.

I managed to get the shop I'm working at to contact Onza, so we should be getting price sheets soon. (I need new cranks...). You have to directly through Onza to get the stuff though.
