Pure Savage Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I've been riding a Swift Dvore for more than 2 years and tried to buy a Evil Twin. Gave up eventually and got a Momsen.Too long to deliver?
MarcW Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Too long to deliver?More likely a shortage of stock. They are getting some in this month apparently. Must say I'm very happy with their service, the Evil Twin is an awesome machine
jcza Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Too long to deliver? Asked for invoice and banking details so I could make payment. No reply to my email for more than a month.Mailed again.Reply came back...no stock.Maybe end Dec 2016.Wasn't prepared to wait 3 months. nonky 1
donovanmcdonald Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 So what about the loyal dealers?Do they still expect bike stores to stock their bikes?
raptor-22 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 So what about the loyal dealers?Do they still expect bike stores to stock their bikes? Why shouldn't a retailer stock Swift's? Is there some secret code thats being broken?Selling direct doesn't necessarily make sales for a retailer uncompetitive
SSCC Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Why shouldn't a retailer stock Swift's? Is there some secret code thats being broken?Selling direct doesn't necessarily make sales for a retailer uncompetitiveThe direct model often sets a retail price that the dealers can't match. By selling direct the brand gives away some of the 35% the dealer would have made by trimming the retail price. End result brand makes a higher margin and consumer gets better pricing. That's why dealers don't like the direct model and usually won't support brands that go this route.
Brickleberry Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Dealers couldn't have been doing a great job. I tried for ages to get hold of a swift attack in my size. No one could help me. This model is great for the brand , and I think we will see a lot more Swift Carbon bikes around
