Drumster Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I recently sought advice on EZ Ups and you can see the thread here. I have been in contact with E-Z Up and obtained a quote for the purchase of 2 x Speed Shelter II (see details here). Full brochure here. The price for the top cover and frame (I believe it comes with a cover bag) comes to €398.65 plus shipping (to be advised). I am told that the normal price would be €560. Would anybody else be interested in a bulk buy? I f so I will try to find out more. Also if you have any questions about the product fire away and I'll try and get responses. I've not organised a bulk buy before so bear with me....... Update 25/6/09 Listed below are the interested parties at the moment. I will be blatting around Switzerland among other countries for the 1-14 July and I will leave the bulk buy open until I return and then set a final date. I have made enquiries about shipping, sidewalls etc and will post the reply in due course. Perhaps, in my absence someone could bounce this back to the top every so often Update 30/6/09Shipping costs are €520 for 10 units. Other extras (if required) Short sidewall €89.25, long sidewall €113.05, set of 4 weightbags €45.22 (each holds 18kg of sand), carry bag €38.08, deluxe roller bag €61.88. Naturally, I'll try to get the prices down further once we have a firm idea of numbers. I've been told that coverbags are included for free, I'll try to find out the difference between cover and carry bags. Update 14/7/09I would now like to finalise things and go ahead with the bulk buy as soon as possible. Please can you all confirm EXACTLY the specification of what you want i.e any extras etc. The unit will come as standard with frame, cover and carry bag (not the roller bag). Confirmed purchases@ 22.7.09 Chris A - Frame and top cover (blue) Rob G - Frame & top cover (black) & weight bags Colin H - frame & top cover (black) & weight bags Rob (u01rsb) - Frame, top cover (silver) & heavy duty stake kit Jez - Frame & top cover (black) Jeff S - Frame and top cover (black) Martin B - Frame & top cover (Silver) Paul Gibb - Frame & top cover (black) Update 22/7/09 I have now closed the order and will be liaising with the supplier about payment etc. There will be one invoice and MartinB has very kindly offered to accept delivery and transport the EZ ups to the August Curborough sprint. As the units are made to order I can't see us getting them any earlier. Update 23/7/09 Final details: blue/black €290, silver €315, weight bags €35, stake kit €17, delivery €483. Please remember to add VAT at 19% to the above. In order to receive our units more promptly I have taken an executive decision to purchase them all on my credit card (delivery should be within 2 weeks, so I'm told). Unfortunately this means a 3.5% surcharge. I do hope this is not a problem for anyone. Despite being offered a good price for 10 units we have only managed to purchase 8, but E-Z up have let us have 8 at the price quoted for 10. Once the charge has gone through I'll work out the £s and email you all accordingly for some dosh.

Drumster Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 If we were to purchase 10 units the price would be €345.10 Chris Alston C7CAT 1800 Supersprint R248 ....and then I jumped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Heseltine Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Chris, Yes I am interested. My last one was destroyed at Aintreee a few years back. Regards, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u01rsb Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I am definitely interested, thanks for organising. Please put me down for 1 Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 yes - I am interested too. Although do you know if they have guy ropes to keep them in one place in the wind? Suspect this might get more coverage in Chitchat ... Jez Build Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Jez, Have a look at p12/13 on the brochure. You can get either a weight bag kit or a heavy duty stake kit at extra cost. I have been quoted €38 for a set of 4 weight bags (based on 2 purchases) I was planning on just tying down the back legs to my trailer and the front legs to the spare wheels from my trailer. I'll post in Chit Chat as well Chris Alston C7CAT 1800 Supersprint R248 ....and then I jumped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u01rsb Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Aeroscreens - I think you have missed Martin B off the list of interested parties - that brings it up to 9 . Can we hurry this bulk buy up please? I'm at 3 Sisters at the weekend and it looks like it is going to p*ss it down. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Having been at Anglesey as it p!ssed it down on Friday last week, I'm definitely in for the basic package. But I'm only really writing this to give it a BTTT. Jez Build Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 u01rsb, Thanks for reminder on Martin B , as mentioned in 1st update you'll all have to wait till I return from holiday ☹️. Hopefully we can secure more interest in the meantime and then get a better price Chris Alston C7CAT 1800 Supersprint R248 ....and then I jumped in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u01rsb Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I know, wasn't thinking I'd really get it in time for 3 Sisters , will just use brolly through steering wheel trick whilst I wait for the luxury of an ez-up. Now, come on one of you chaps who go racing every weekend, you know it makes sense. You can even order it in white and pretend to the missus that you have bought it for the garden to hold parties under! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u01rsb Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Aeroscreens, looks like 9 only unless someone else wants to join. I'm sure they will take 9 as a bulk buy at the 10 rate, can you see what the best price we can get is please? Let me know if you want me to help at all .

Drumster Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi all, I would now like to finalise things and go ahead with the bulk buy as soon as possible. Please can you all confirm EXACTLY the specification of what you want i.e any extras etc. The unit will come as standard with frame, cover and carry bag (not the roller bag) Furthermore, does anyone have any good advice on how I should go about collecting money and arranging delivery etc. My thoughts were because of paying in Euros it might be better if we arrange to pay separately. I guess the delivery would have to be to a central point to keep costs down.....

martin b Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Chris Glad your back ok Just basic kit for me, probably in black but would you mind finding out how much extra for silver (to match the van and enable me to use/claim for business too) No expert in euros, probably plastic will give come back if any problems, or Paypal 🤔 No idea on delivery times but could bring to Curbs in August if timescale worked.

Drumster Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Martin, Will you be silver-vanning to Curbs? If so, could I possibly use you as the central delivery address?

martin b Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yup Chris Will be silver vanning to Curbs, SWMBO has given me permission to go, just not sure if I can do the whole weekend, might be pushing my luck 😳 Martin (nearly wearing the trousers ) Surrey AR/AO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
