Bilt Hamber Distribution

[Coatingsarecrack]

Still nothing from Obsessed Garage yet. Anyone know when they are expected to carry the product line? Paying $65+ for auto foam from any website ships to the USA is a bit much for a 15 Euro product.

AutoFoam from clean garage I believe was $45-50 dollars… no free shipping.

You will probably be expecting similar prices fron Obsessed and he doesn’t do free shipping either.

Can be ordered from Carzilla in Canada for $50 us. About $11 dollars for shipping.

The lowered free shipping to US to $80 so if you can find something else (carry some cool stuff) good deal…

As of the latest wash-n-talks published earlier this week, the two parties (OG and Bilt Hamber) are taking the extra time to ensure they are "dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's". While he has noted that it's taking a little longer than expected, apparently both sides want to ensure its done right in terms of pricing. Matt stressed this is not about him overcharging and that Pete wants to maintain the value for money equation. Matt wants this to be a long-term partnership and that rushing to get product onto the shelf at expense of a thorough price and margin arrangement would be less than ideal for all involved, including the end customer. Matt is also looking to wholesale the Bilt Hamber range to other parties, and reading between the lines, I have a strong sense that The Rag Company could be one of those, but don't hold me to that.

Apparently, the stock has been ordered and packed, once the pricing details are finalized, he will be air freighting into the US. So once the decision is made, stock should be quickly available.

##I stress that I have no direct connection to OG, although I am a member of Inside the HEX and have contributed here and there. I say that because I'm not trying to drum up business for him, or those he chooses to wholesale to, I'm just a follower passing on information that he has already put out there.##

From talking with the folks at TCG, it could still take a while to get thru customs.

Pre-orders for Touch-Less are live at Obsessed Garage and it's the same price as it was at CG. Considering that you now only need half as much for the same cleaning power I copped a 5L which is going to last me forever.

Twice as concentrated for the same price? Matt is doing god's work. Hopefully places like TCG and Carzilla will follow suit.

Considering the bad blood, I would doubt OG will wholesale product to TCG.

Bad blood? What did I miss?

You mean you won't be able to get it from Carzilla anymore??

If OG somehow cuts Carzilla out of the loop I will scream bloody murder

I won't pay OG's ridiculous shipping rates to Alaska and with all due respect to the OG supporters, I wouldn't support them if shipping wasn't an issue

I will shut up now and apologize in advance for offending any of you

TCG started out mimicking a lot of the stuff OG was doing, even to the point where they were/are making their product images look or presented the same, even the wording of the descriptions is the same. It's one thing to copy or mimic what another company is doing, it's another when a company blatantly ignores trading lawns. OG said enough when TCG started buying Pressol sprayers from another retailer in the UK and selling them to the US general public, all the while OG had/has the official distribution rights to the brand for the US market.

Say what you will about OG, I totally get the hate, but that doesn't excuse not following protocol or laws.

I don't think it will come to that. From what has been said, OG will import, warehouse and distribute Bilt Hamber for sale in the OG store, a dedicated Bilt Hamber USA store, or via wholesale to other detailing supply stores. Only Touchless, Traceless and Atom Mac will be sold out of the OG store, but the rest of the line will eventually be available through the Bilt Hmaber USA web store.
