This part of the email I got back from Drifta Kitchens:
It’s possible to set something up, freight of course is the problem. I’d have to send full pallets of kitchens to make it worthwhile, then they would have to be paid for before they leave. You’re not going to be sure you can then sell them. I have so many different types also. Everybody wants something different. Maybe I could send over though some DCB’s, that was what Dan was interested in. say if I sent 6 or so, you might be able to get a few people interested. Or say if I sent 10, you could find buyers for 5, then maybe you could fix me up as the others are sold. Once a few people get them, often their mates want them. There is definatly a big opportunity in the us, I really think it needs to be made there though, to our specs/design with our logo’s etc. ply is cheap there, freight to there is not needed, etc. but then that is a big job to set up. it needs someone there to do what I’ve done here. Who ever sells them , really needs to make them. unless they are made in china, it’s hard to make them cheap enough to w’sale them, as wholesalers generally want a large markup. So we sell mostly retail ourselves, thru the internet. I can wholesale them, but say the DCB would cost you w’sale $450 aus, sells for $650. plus freight over there. That’s not enough markup for shops. But with the internet, you can bypass the shops. Anyway, there something to think about, give me a call if you like, talk to you soon, rgds Luke
