Re: Purchasing Direct

I would assume that these manufacturers have an interest in protecting the markets they already have and will not sell direct to you. Can you imagine the reprocussions at say Dixons if hotpoint were to sell direct.

Making no profit from an appliance sale is usual for an independent, we know, at the moment we have to live with it but there is another way….and its coming.

Re: Purchasing Direct

Without massive buying power the answer to the question is generally, no.

Been there done that. 😕

Re: Purchasing Direct

£30 on a £700 retail, you have to aske yourself why bother?

Hotpoint used to sell direct, if you stocked a large enough range, not sure now though.
Have you thought about CIH?
