So E-mail them and ask if I can have the discounts offered by having joining certain clubs..
Yes they say.. But cheeper if you buy at the shows..
Will I still get my discount?
Yes of course 5-10%.
Get to Slough and guess what..
No Discount - Even explaind about e-mails..
Show discount ? No ! Paid their book price !
Stuff you Alan Schofield.. Others said I would get the clubs discount if I asked and took your word you would too.
Sure you havent lost a lot of trade just from me.. So your'e not probably worried about it. But sure others should be aware that driving over 100 miles to get some Show Price and a Discount wont happen and you will just pay LIST PRICE.
Honour and a Gentlemans agreement works fine with me. Neither you can commend yourself with.
Alan is a true gent who has made the scene what it is today by over 20 years of hard work, how much do you think it costs to trade at a show? I'm amazed that people like him pay staff to work a weekend, pay transportation and accomadation and show fees, and still get slagged off, far easier not to bother and just sell on the 'net
QFT and I have known Alan for nearly 20 years. He is a good guy - ring him up and speak to him (I could give you his mobile but thats in the other room)

Their products are already sold at a lower price than most.
I guess you can please some people some of the time,but you cant please all of the people all of the time.
2 things spring to mind. Firstly, why did you ask/expect a discount? Do you get to the checkout at Tesco and haggle On the face of things, you ordered a relatively small amount of parts. I could understand if you were ordering thousands of pounds worth, but a few hundred quid
Secondly, pick up the phone and ring them! You're dragging a good company name through the mud for a fucking tenner!!! Have you not thought that maybe it was someone that didn't know that you'd got a discount? I think you're over reacting dude...
Isn't driving over 100 miles to a show (and then paying to get in) going to more than cancel out any discount you could possibly get on £200's worth of bits? Or am I missing something really substantial, here?
This is my thinking. I'd have taken the discount offered in the email, there and then. I'd have probably arranged to pick it up at the show, thus offsetting the cost of my fuel against the P&P.
I've been to Schofields a couple of times and I have to drive from Liverpool to Glossop and back and once when I bought a selection of panels I got a few quid off. Even when I went and bought a windscreen lower panel I got the little tabs the dash sits on thrown in for free.
ive spent about £1500 quid with alan in one shot, and i didnt ask for any discount he gave me a bit tho. hes cheaper than anywhere else and you can get most of it in one go. top bloke no problems for me
He can't be expected to give a discount if his stuff is already marked down? Where's the margin and what's the point in him selling the stuff? He has a living to make just like everyone else. I don't work for nothing, in fact I have yet to meet anyone who does
The guy who welded my split insisted I source the panels he needed via Schofields. Speaks volumes. The prices were good, the quality excellent. They made a minor error on a large-ish order (wrong year panel supplied), phoned up, and correct part arrived next day, as for the wrong part, they just said no problem, just keep it. Spot on.
And just to add to the supporters..... Rick (Alans other main worker) has met me in laybys near where I live twice at agreed times to drop stuff off to me. What sort of service is that ?
Fucking good service.
Mind.... I wouldn't have been able to get this sort of service if i didnt chat to Rick or Alan on the phone and work out our movements... no, not the bowel kind Its good to talk.
One of the best companies in the scene IMO.
