stevecoco Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just had a peek at C.B. website, they do'nt make it easy to let you in for a look do they. They want all my details (including bank details) before they let you in, what if I decide I am not interested. The only box missing is my insideleg measurement. Oh well I'll have to fax them tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Wait till you try and navigate around the site Steve, I think CB should take a leaf out of TC's website. Complicated or easy you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodave Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 i used to use "give and take" think he was in cobb st off petticoat lane, he will send you a catalogue with the total price you pay written on your copy ,cheaper than charles birch, although you have to pay up front you will not get a better service than his, have not found a supplier yet that was cheaper than him,unless your buying a couple of hundred Which is well worth it make sure you offer engraving for a fiver on zippos he will give you about 15 % most suppliers only offer you 10% discount as they are only getting 30% discount from zippo, sometimes he will tell you it will take a week but if you are ordering enuf just ask him to get zippo to send your entire order directly to your shop, be warned he likes splitting the order and charging you extra postage, i used to have him phone zippo and have a single lighter sent out by them on a next day delivery, normally have to pay for postage under 30 zippos i think, free if you order above 30 lighters plus free sh##, phone give and take and get him to always remember to get the free stuff off of zippo, as you can always sell the cabinets and stuff to punters, pays for the delivery charge. and you will always get 1 or 2 customers ask for them once you see how good sales are of these easy to engrave, once youve done 30 on a mad day leading up to xmas you have to stock up for xmas its mad on these things but i did have 500 to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecoco Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Wow that was a busy weekend. Sorry for not responding sooner. Any contact addresses for T.C and 'give and take', or better still any other suppliers of goods you are impressed with would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodave Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 i thought hadson would of sorted themselves out by now they were short of stock when they introduced this football line and gave the excuse that they didnt know what the stock levels were going to be i would be careful of buying my zippos with these although they have good stock levels they are expensive compared to give and take theres another guy called andrew tribus who gave me 20% discount when i bought the whole zippo catalogue but make sure you double check your order when it arrives cant remember his phone number one more company for engravable goods (especially key rings) is jennifer ulisse these are one of the best companies that supplied me, almost never out of stock and if they were they would let me know, every now and again they clear out old lines and sell these off dirt cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
