Freebird Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 What are the VAT repercussions? Who will pay the VAT and who issues the VAT invoice? I assume it will be Glenway so the customer willl see this as soon as they request a VAT invoice for their records. Furthermore, if Glenway continue to insist that they have not entered the retail market then I'd believe this if they told Google not to index their site - welovetrophies.com. This is very easily done and consequently they would not be directly competing against other retail sites in the google rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 so, ive not taken a single trophy this week. but have just had an email detailing a credit to my account..... so on one hand I'm out on the other I'm in..... still tricky knowing what was to handle this one. imo I've not had a credit to my account as yet, but I'm thinking the same. A little unsure because of all the negativity and thinking maybe I'm missing the point, but free money for doing nothing!!!!! HELL YEAH.... I'M IN!! kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windycity Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 just wondering if you went to trophyx and spoke with the glenway posse has it changed your mind for or against the website option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prlocks Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 No but I did speak with Trend, they seem to be very good. I firstly want to state I have no gripe with Glenway we have used them for 15 years and I honestly think their system will work for some. In my experience Glenway do sell direct to clubs, our local rugby club bring in boxes of trophies ordered direct from Glenway and we engrave them. This has happened for the last 2 or 3 seasons We have a LS100EX Laser engraver, an IS400 volume and a member of staff who does all the engraving. So it doesn't make any sense to have that investment sitting there and for Glenway to do the order and to send me credit on my account. I want a strictly wholesale only supplier with no website page on the front of the catalogue. I think this will be very popular with small one man shops with little or no investment in the machinery and staff and I wish Glenway all the best with this change in direction, but for us it will be Trend for the foreseeable future kobblers, keithm and grahamparker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Looks like it is Glenway, the domain register details are the same as their other site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySafe Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 You can find out registration details for most .com websites at https://www.whois.com/ and type in the website address at the top and press search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldEngraver Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Definitely Glenway, after having a snoop around at the source code of the trophiesnextday.com homepage, found a code snippit towards end of the page. Enough said.....

CitySafe Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 The site on there is a microsite of the main 'welovetrophies' website, so the source code will be practically the same and will relate all to the main welovetrophies site. All the microsites will be hosted on the same server as the main website. What I'm guessing is that Glenway have the facility to allow customers to have their own branded website on the same platform, where the customer will be able to change slideshow banners, website colours, logos and contact details. I'm guessing that the product prices, images and descriptions are all set by Glenway, and when they update in on their main website, it will automatically update it to the same as their site, so that all their customers who use their microsite have the same prices etc. The question that you should be asking is if any random person from the street can contact them and have their own microsite set up to start selling trophies, or is it only existing customers that can have it set up.

k4mrc Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I spoke with Glen from Glenway this afternoon and this site is one that they have done for a customer that has asked them, they also have talked to a pal of mine about this very thing his name etc and linked to them for the orders - he gets 40% (I THINK) not the same as what were getting but the whole site is dedicated to him thus the increase on commission he has to pay something for it but nothing for nothing. I will be phoning tomorrow for the figures - so nothing as first thought. windycity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why they didn't do this from the start, it's a much better idea and gives the client a visible presence and ability to market the site. I do exactly this (free website and we do the white label fulfillment) with my print & embroidery business...it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4mrc Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Ok, so Glenway have discontinued this service however, I did pass on my details to some customer's that were 'in a hurry' I;e next day and I got the commission from that. My point is, one regular customer (who I still do engraving for?) have not ordered any trophies AT all since this started up? I wonder that if the customer still emails the ilovetrophies.com site do they still do the trophies and not send commission? or are they forwarding them to another email account? Strange to me anyway? kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concerned Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Anyone realised that Glenway have started Trophiesplusmedals.co.uk around June 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They at least now appear to be selling at full retail price when they started everything was on discount and next day delivery. They have shot themselves in the foot and broken many promises on their 'business model' so can't see them doing too well from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesST Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Although just checked and it seems they are selling their bespoke medals direct cheaper than to suppliers......another kick in the teeth or maybe they just aren't shifting many so clutching at straws!
