Rosebank22 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi Everyone I don't know if this has been brought up before or if this is in the right section. But has anyone had any requests from Cartridge dealers to give members of PW discount on cartridges as the amount we probably go through! Or if groups of people have grouped together to buy in bulk to get it cheaper? I am in Cornwall and am aiming it at the Cornish shooters and our Devonshire counterparts! whether it has been done or would work I am relatively new to shooting but have seen the prices go up in the short time I have been shooting.

Dekers Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's the same old malarkey all the time... I tend to buy in 1000 lots anyway, very seldom less unless it is something special I am after. 1000 rate generally offers the best outlay/discount for my purposes. Bigger quantity discounts are available but usually the next break is 5000 and very little extra discount. So, you need to go to the manufacturers and become a RFD to get some serious quantity and discount. Next problem is storage, being able to ship carts, and everyone who says they would buy never coming good, or...I would have had some but actually I want xyz, not the abc that you have, etc etc etc! In simple terms, it is unlikely to work, and will cause some poor hard working, well intentioned soul, nothing but grief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) If you can get an order for 25-50k you could save a few quid any less and don't save alot for hassle storage etc there are some people who are part of cartridge consortiums who save a few ££ but you have to buy a lot if you could get 5 people to want 5k+ each you might get somewhere once you get to around 10k carts you have enough powder to need explosives licence. if you can get 5 people to buy 5k each which at £180 per thou is £900 each you might get some RFD's to do a deal as 25-30k is most manufacturers min order. Cartridge margin isnt great so discounts are big. Edited January 14, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Amiable plan but I have to agree with Dekers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant hit rabbits 123 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I bought 8000 for the rest of the squad and myself recently, and the saving on such an amount? £2.30 off each thou. You really need to be buying upawrds of 30000 to get any sort of decent saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
