Discount seems to get applied once your at checkout or poss afterwards, but it clearly shows it at some point!Thankyou, I think I have registered.
I assume discount is same regardless of dealer partner chosen?
Each to there own iam in the NFU for other reasons & easily get half my membership costs back yearly so can live with that just aboutIt appears as a member of the UFU this offer doesn't apply, as ever j would get as much use out of my membership money if I gathered it up in fivers and burnt it to keep warm.......useless.
i presume the middleman dealer takes atleast 10% out of the deal ive no ideaPresumably the dealer partner must get at least 10% to cover invoicing, admin, etc. They cant work for nothing.
What I am driving at is that a full trade account would still be preferable, but I doubt many workshops would make the minimum turnover.
Will be handy to get online access to prices because I hate having to up and ask price, only to then have to take prices from elsewhere for comparison. You soon get labelled for a timewasting cheapskate.
My account is through local NH dealer, with no involvement with NFU. Might be well worth approaching some of your usual suspects to see if they do/want to play ball. My dealer sees it as an opportunity to get some action on tat where they'd not normally get considered.It appears as a member of the UFU this offer doesn't apply, as ever j would get as much use out of my membership money if I gathered it up in fivers and burnt it to keep warm.......useless.

what's 10% margin when the credit card company takes 2.5% for processing the payment ?
The dealer has to create an invoice to match the order and create a purchase order to kramp
sort out any mistakes or returns or missing delivery's
post the invoice to the customer ( stamps are now 65p)
wait to get paid
send a few statements
wait 3months + to get paid
most orders according to kramp are less than £100
would you do all that work for £10?
The dealer storeman has to be paid somehow.
Have you not heard of spaldings ? ?Kramp and all these similar companies should get into the 21st century, and base their business on the likes of Amazon. Trade accounts ,and their discounts are old news. They have the infrastructure to pick and send the parts to all addresses, all they need is to take online payments, and we all could benefit from discounted value for money products.. farming is economically tough...why line the pockets of dealers? When we all treat our livestock and crops to limit parasites!

i do agree & we all should be able to source at a sensible discount genuine spares esp filters for Tractors but this seems a challenge.Kramp and all these similar companies should get into the 21st century, and base their business on the likes of Amazon.

Yeah this is the thing no one pays us to go & pick parts up, but try getting a mechanic out & by heck your charged one way or the other travelling time.I have no idea of dealer margins etc, but I take your point that the admin needs a margin, and I have no issue with that, I'm not expecting it done for nothing, I want my dealer to survive and be open when I burst a pipe or whatever.
That list of things you have to do, you have to do if I'm buying said item from dealer anyway? But he is getting the same income but doesn't have to handle the goods as they are delivered direct?
The dealer storeman will be there anyway, either dealing with me face to face, or answering my phone call to find out the price of something, and sorting out boxes of stuff in the store, and handing them over the counter to me, or dealing the paperwork instead, because the courier has done the manual bit, except the secretary in the office can do most of the admin in a few clicks and an email nowadays.
I maybe wrongly asumed that if a dealer can increase his turnover with Kramp they might get bigger discount therefore improving their overall margin???
My dealer(further away than two others) that has offered me a Kramp account through him has picked up more of my business because I like the handiness of it and not having to phone up, find out the price, and then wait for them to get it in, and then go and collect.
