Understanding the supply chain


Recommended Posts

 

Do manufacturers of ARTF kits tend to supply direct to our retailers or are there distributors or even wholesalers too working in the background?

 

For example, are Seagull, Blackhorse, Kyosho, Hangar 9.

 

I can see that Freewing for example passively mention on their website that they offer discounts for wholesale purchase but other manufacturers seem  to refrain from advertising this option..

 

Any idea in particular, how best to go about buying seagull models in bulk? 
 

Thanks in advance if anyone sees and can help.

The supply chain is just as explained by "kevin b".

Unfortunately, is quite hard for distributors / importers / wholesalers as manufacturers have raised prices singnificantly (Seagull Models more than 20%) and then you also have shipping costs raising a full 300% of those one year ago.

All these factors make a model which ran out of stock and imported now to twice raise its sales price, something distributors / importers / wholesalers think cunsomers will not understand nor accept.
