RE: Bulk Buy, anyone?



I've been doing a bit more digging.  From the sites linked from the Roomba
site, 2 of them ship internationally...

http://www.hammacher.com/publish/66632.asp want 16% shipping - about ?21 per
unit (stock levels not shown on web site)

http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/catalog/productview.jhtml?sku=IR105 do
ship, but no prices or stock info available.

Brookstone do not ship outside of the US, but do accept international
billing addresses, so if anyone has a friendly contact willing to take local
delivery and forward on....

It's runs on rechargeable batts (stating the obvious, it's hardly going to
run on petrol!), but I've not been able to find any details on the charger,
i.e. is it a multi-voltage jobbie - anyone know?

Mark - I've not emailed anybody to check stock levels and see what discounts
would be available for a BB - do you want me to?  I suspect discounts will
be low, just because demand is currently outstripping supply.

That's exactly how I phrased the question (I quote "Can you let me know if
you have a UK distributor for the Roomba cleaner, or whether you are
currently seeking a distributor?") partly with the thought in mind that the
supplies section of the company I work for might want to look at this type
of thing (they didn't!).

I only sent 1 email, so didn't try very hard, but judging from the supply
problems they're having in the States, they've got their hand full just
supplying the local market.

Pete,

I was thinking that we might position any approach to iRobot as "we'd like
to BECOME a supplier" :-)
