Anyone a cost-co member?
Bit of a favour to ask. . . .
I'm not a member & need the info quickly.
Can you do me a favour and ring up your local store and ask for a price on a
"BOSU Balance Trainer"
And is the price inc or ex-VAT.
Is there a discount for buying 500?
Cheers

The muppet I called said they were unable to give pricing without confirming membership.
They could tell me that Reading has 115 units in stock & they could transfer from other from stores to Reading.

I'll try and do it for you first thing in the morning.
Feel a little uncomfortable about asking for a discount on 500 though, what if they say yes, what do I do then lol

We are already the UK distributor for the product and have rigid purchase channels.
Cost-Co have brought them in via the back door (from their American channels).
They know who we are and are reluctant to give us pricing.

Bit of both. More of the latter.
A couple of years ago, they were selling them cheaper than us (as the UK distributor) could buy them through our official rigid channels.

Ah I can see why you would want to find out but surely if you have faith in your pricing structure and your customers it wouldnt matter too much, it is the nature of business surely and provides a competitive market for comsumers?

Sorry mate tried a few times and they didn't pick up the phone (perhaps too busy undercutting you on those trainers lol)
I'll try again in the morning and post back
