[Still Farming]

Is it virgin plastic or from recycled plastics?

What, been 'promoted' to run something he knows even less about, or just f**ked off...?

Out of interest guys what is the best rap on the market, I’m doing haylage for the first time this year and small traditional bales as there’s a need for them where we are

Do you need “best”? Whatever will be fine if it’s your first time, you’ll know no difference and think whatever is brilliant

It seems @CliffEximex has decided not to supply their 25 pallets of new to the market wrap after all?

Not been seen since 3 hours after they joined, no responses to private messages placing orders....

Either a scam, or they'll went away with tail firmly between legs when everyone said "bugger off, you're too expensive"

Just for info, I've mine bought at £57 a roll this year - Volac Topwrap

Thanks for the feedback, everything we look at on line or via other farming net working is telling us £65 per roll for that spec is competitive. Understand we cant say our research is extensive, so could you tell us what would be competitive for you. Thanks and regards.

Man feck this shite.
Oh we're big in Thailand therefore we deserve a premium cut in the British market too.
We googled the top priced wrap in the UK so we're just matching that and you guys should just be grateful to get the opportunity to buy our wonderful product.

Arrogant twit's....

Note to self never buy from Eximex.

That's just a wee bit unfair, nothing wrong with trying to break into a new market; I've an interest in a firm that does just that pretty regularly - including, for an irony, into Thailand a few years ago.

But, to be fair to us, we do a lot of research and make certain we're competitive before anything else - because it is an obvious thing that not being so means a complete non-starter.

Operating the small bale wrapper for a season does result in some 'minor' side effects

 

[Wellytrack]

I bought my wrap in the autumn, it’s probably cheaper now but that’s the chances you take.

Mmm that's completely different.
It's so important to approach each market according to the market.

See if they had started the post with
"hey guys we're a new silage wrap manufacturer and we love our product and think you will too so we've got 25 pallets for free to let people try it out so get in touch if interested"
And for just under £70k they'd have a super great marketing opportunity with people excited to try it out, cause guess what farmers love more than anything?
Yup free stuff.

Or like 25 other ways they could of done it better. Instead of the
"shut up give me money" tactic.

Learning curve...?

 

[BRB John]

Learning curve...?

That's an expensive learning curve.
I feel like slapping your consumer base in the face is probably something you shouldn't need to learn not to do.

alfred the average you get through over 3000 rolls a year, thats over £150,000 in just buying the wrap?

Yeah an 90,000 silage bales x £5 (or whatever baling prices are at now...)
Which amounts to a sh!t ton of money according to my calculations...
And I'd bet he'd get a pretty good discount on 3000 rolls ..
