Is anyone keeping a tally of how many pairs are being requested? Many people are saying they would like some depending on the price, is anyone offering to contact the company - besides 109 - and get prices per 50/100/150 sets? I could possibly make a purchase, depending on numbers and the understanding that I won’t be sending them out, they will need collecting from Lincolnshire, which isn’t exactly central. I probably wouldn’t get in touch with the company before 2/1/2020.

I shouldn't lift a finger until members decide they want these. To make this attractive to S2 clubbers the price needs to be close to that paid by retailers, 50-60% of retail. To do that we must persuade the distributor to drop his margin with numbers. Of course we must price-in the 'orribles - breakages, pallet, pallet courier, bank charges and broken promises etc. There is risk. And any student of human-nature needs to consider, some will back-out the second they realise these are to be collected and won't be a fiver a pop.
Unless these are already sitting on a pallet in a warehouse, the distributor needs to import. That means they must stump for these, and to do that, we still need to give them margin, and monies up-front. Or why do it? This soon gets messy.
Who knows, but even if out of the current 29, there's 25, that's not enough. Anyone's guess - a pallet must be at least 50+. More likely 100+.
When we've a comfortable pallet of orders, I'll chase it. Make it worth the hassle, and likely the distributor will deal with the money.
