International Sales Promotion

[sirhc]

We have been working hard to figure out a way to get our switches out to international customers but shipping has been a big hurdle and Distributors have been slow to get our products in their inventory and or they mark our switches up above MSRP.

We just got our new discount rate from UPS.

It is not what we wanted but it is not too bad so there is also a temporary discount that will be applied to help ease the pain of shipping until we get even better discounts.

Chris,

I tried a simulated purchase of 5 MINI switches and a WS-12-250-AC. After I added the 5 minis I had a discount of $127,46. It doesn]t seem to matter what else I add to the cart, the discount remains the same.


BTW, thanks for the promotion. I think you'll finally get us to buy some product!

There I fixed that.

I will be installing a module today and tomorrow where we charge you or at lest show the duties and brokerage fee up front so it comes to your door with no surprises.

I did place my first order using this promotion. The discount more than covered DHL shipping to Brazil. I have to admit I'm still apprehensive that customs with give us the run around here but DHL says it we should receive the shipment in about 10 days.

Oh you will have duties to pay no doubt as Brazil is brutal.

I heard nightmare stories on duties into Brazil.

My guess will be 80% or higher duties and Taxes.

Report back how much it cost you after you're done crying.

Oh I know I'll pay duties. Probably between 90 - 100%. I'm just hoping they'll let me pay duties without a huge run around. I've had things held up in customs because of a missing "signed" invoice. Sometimes there is confusion as to if this is a shipment to a business or an individual. It's just amazing how much of a hit-and-miss importing is to someone who doesn't do this for a living. People who do this everyday and know all the tricks seem to be able to get things here somewhat reliably.

I was an IT employee in a large company with a department in Brazil. We had to smuggle IT stuff through customs if we needed it urgently. If we went the normal legal road and imported it correctly through customs it would take approx. 2 months to get it.....

Yea Brazil is a real tough country to get stuff in.

DHL works! We just received our shipment. We ended up paying 91% in import duties.

If I knew how to post pictures, I would post an unboxing picture....

Next Wednesday we will install the first MINI. I'm going out to the location so I'll write up a little before and after post.
