cobblers&keys Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi All, Has anybody used these trophies yet? if so how have sales/quality/supply issues been. I'm just wondering because I am looking into updating my website and have been given the disc to upload images. Hope to get some feedback soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 They are fantastic quality, and stock quantity and supply for free next day delivery (order value over £75.00) is not a problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny King Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 You would say that Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Glenway products are excellent although I have had issues with supply and carriage is a bit hefty. As for "top of the league trophies" I've had a couple of annual shields off them and they were not too good. Going back to Glenway's carriage 6 small boxes £35.00 hurts a bit. Maybe we need a Cjm of the Glenway world to sort things out and listen to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k4mrc Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 postage is the killer on any profit we try to get! goodwill £10-00 a box last time i ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Martin, your problem with profit and postage is a valid one, but no different to most suppliers either. You all want the best price and you all want it yesterday. No problem with that, but it has to be picked from stock, packed using packing materials, processed through the system and invoiced, THEN it's posted or carried. This all costs money and has to be factored in by price of item OR by adding as p&p. Too many people forget about the 'other bits' as WELL as the actual postage/carrier cost If we applied a labour cost to some of the goods we sent out, it would be a lot more than the £8-£11 average All suppliers try their best to minimise additional costs, but it's not always possible to reduce it to zero or close Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 how many times has someone said to you "HOW MUCH" and "YOUR ONLY SCRATCHING A FEW WORDS ON A BIT OF METAL" when you add engraving charges to their trophy bill. they don't realise what this cost covers. unpacking delivery, sorting out what trophy goes with what order, unpacking each trophy, decifering engraving instructions with the rosetta stone as a reference, puting plates on, puting centres on, re packing each trophy, popping the inflated packaging bags to scare co workers, packing up order into box, having the customer pull box apart to check enraving and then re-packing it for them. imagine the faces of the customers if we added labour what if you only ordered once a week? ask your suppliers if they could keep an open box that you can add to until an agreed cut off point maybe worth a call to see if you can work something out maybe up your engraving costs slightly to offset carriage, 50p each extra on a dozen awards..........
