Crack on Massdrop?

[jboehle]

I thought Bottlehead said recently they weren't going to work with Massdrop again?

[Paul Birkeland]

You are indeed quite correct, we are not working with Massdrop.  We can, however, offer discounts for unusually large quantities of the same kit, and in this capacity Massdrop is purchasing a large lot of Cracks from us as a customer to resell to their customers.

PB is correct in this. In essence someone from Massdrop went on to our website and ordered 100 kits.

I guess that explains why there is no international shipping option then, they didn't order any 240 transformers.  (https://forum.bottlehead.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fsmiley-sad016.gif&hash=4c3b38cc82e3f6665f0013ef4c5ca9aea41821ef)

This is quite true.  While that option doesn't exist, you are still more than welcome to order your Crack from us, and the delivery time will be less than 8 weeks.  (Currently we are seeing about a 3 week average)

Could I politely enquire if it might be possible for Bottlehead to offer a short term promotion so international purchasers who would have liked to partake in the Massdrop offer had it been open to them, might also be able to benefit from similar pricing or perhaps a free speedball option! I seem to recall something similar in the past?

I have my optimistic hat on today.

Massdrop is a retailer and we are simply wholesaling a large order of kits to them. Naturally we will support our product with the same level of quality as that which we sell directly, and we will deliver their order to them on our agreed upon schedule. But we don't have anything to do with their decisions regarding pricing, order fulfillment to their customers or the options they offer. We encourage anyone with questions about those things to please take them to Massdrop's forum.

For anyone who prefers more personal retailer interaction with Bottlehead we encourage you to order directly from our web site.

@Jamie, if someone wants to organize a group buy we are willing to work with them.
