Rutlands are offering 12% discount off everything!

[Alf Beharie]

...The catch is it only applies if you buy something from them this weekend.
I have fancied buying one of those Craftex Blue Tornado 66 x 1/2" shank router cutter sets (Part Number TR303) in a wooden case for sometime now but the £149 asking price was a bit over my budget...However with this brief 12% discount I have just bought the very same set for only £125!
Take advantage of it while you can!

Unfortunately it appears everything i would like an extra 12% off is out of stock

Same here, I ordered two side scrapers 12 months or more ago, but they were out of stock, I got an e mail weeks later to say they were cancelling my order due to no stock. I have checked regularly since then and find they are never in stock. What is the point in advertising tools that they cannot supply ?

£149 to £125? 12%? Your %s are different to mine.

get another 5% first for buying over £100

and save another £5.95 as free postage as well

not bad for a set that started at £260

Could not agree more. Their stock position is dreadful, and not only for expensive items !! A dead loss.

The other side of the coin is I ordered with Axminster taking advantage of £1 postage until 7 May....Set of featherboards and 2 x t track. Total cost £25.
The tracks were out of stock so they sent the featherboards first class post,arriving next day by Royal Mail. The same day I get email from them to say the tracks have been sent by DPD and a delivery date of 5 days !!!

All for £1 P&P ?.....There must be some markup as I don't see them selling for a loss.

Congrats to them for service, but business wise it makes no sense.

I just had a look at their prices on Brusso hardware, load all the Rutlands discounts in and they're just a whisker cheaper than Classic Hand Tools everyday price!

 

[skronk]

I don't think they do any favours price wise.

And stock wise ??????????? :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Skronk - they price everything to allow for cock ups, they're interested in the final % profit overall - not what it is on individual sales. For every one they lose a little on, they are making a profit on another nine - and their sales have probably increased because of the offer.

Well the router bit set in question was not out of stock, and it arrived yesterday...I'm very happy with it.

And me, I bought a router table to go with them as well, my old Trend Craftsman table left a lot to be desired.
