In particular, I am interested in their crystal pen boxes. The site says minimum of fifty boxes per order, but doesn't really show an order option. Does anyone know someone who sells these boxes individually?

Maybe we can get some folks together here to pitch in and buy fifty because I sure don't want to buy that many up front!

I really like the looks of that box!

I can help you with their rules:

You pay in full, in advance.
They quote a 6-8 week lead time on standard products, like pen kits.
For boxes, where there is a 50 minimum, I would expect VERY high prices--they usually have a 500 minimum--they don't like to deal in orders under $5000.

BTW, that is PLUS freight from Taiwan, figure $600+

With all the items they have listed for sale someone somewhere other than CUSA must sell their stuff.....but who???? They don't have a list of retailers.....
 
I sent an email to them to see if it would be feasible for me (and if they'd accept me) to add them to my inventory. I'll let you know what I find out.
 
Great plan, Monty!!!!!:bananen_smilies051::bananen_smilies051:

Hope your negotiations :bananen_smilies035: go well!!!!

Remember the 500 minimum is all one style and plating. That being said on higher end kits such as the Jr. Statesman I would be in for 100 so now all we ned id 400 more:biggrin:
 
If someone could get one of the newer kits we haven't seen before (the pyramidal sienna) I would be up for $500 worth or so.
 
CSUSA is still their only USA distributor. IF CSUSA has abandoned a pen (emperor), it is available to other vendors. As long as CSUSA has it, they will be the ONLY ones who have it.

IF CSUSA is not going to carry a pen (Emperor), do you think they have a newer replacement coming? IF so, the old kit will have a very limited market.

There any suppliers that have kits that are made in the U.S.A.?

To my knowledge, there are no pen kits being manufactured anywhere in the USA by anyone in any type of wholesale quantities. I'm sure that between the EPA, OSHA, ISO 9001 certification, workman's comp insurance, and taxes the kits would cost $500 each.
 
I am currently living in Taiwan and my secretary has spent considerable time on the phone with Dayacom trying to get them to sell me some kits. They won't even give her a cost per 500 kits. They have some pretty restrictive requirements before they will sell to you.

I bought a bunch of high end kits on there way out of CSUSA 's inventorty just a few days ago and was trying to get out of the sales rep what was going to replace these kits. All I got was she knew of a girly like pen kit with stones, but had not seen it. I think coming out later this year.

OK....I got a price from Dayacom and the crystal and acrylic pen boxes.
According to Dayacom, these cases are made for the pen collector market and run about $50 each :eek::eek::eek:. That's way the MOQ is only 50 cases.
So, who wants to jump in first and commit to more than one.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Let's see, 50x$50=$2500!!

They have cut their standards in half, but don't forget shipping on those boxes is going to be a bit "dear"!!!

Thanks for all of your research! Daggum...I really like those boxes!
 
A couple of the kits on the Dayacom site look like PSI kits. Particularly the one that the finial triangulates to a fake diamond like stone and has a pimp stone in the clip.

The kits with the "filigree" type work look real nice, but how many of those will you want to buy at a time?

I was not able to view any boxes of any types on their site. I see a button but it won't let me click it to view.

So what's the deal with Aaron's pen kits? Are those not Dayacom kits? CSUSA has the kit with the full metal cap that at one time was magnetic and may still be available with that option..not sure, but Aaron also has kits that look the same to me. He is in the USA. He has JR Retro kits too. Probably a bunch more too...I haven't actually viewed all his inventory being that I am kinda trying to use less kits when possible...and as a concequence am not so familiar with all the kits available.

Out of curiosity I wrote to CS at CSUSA. Here's my email with their reply....


You are the only company in the USA that retails pen kits from Dayacom according to their web site. Is there any chance you'll be getting the pyramidal sienna they make in your line up of offerings?

Thanks

Unfortunately I am not the one to ask regarding new products. Rex Burningham is our product manager and he may know whether or not we plan to carry that pen. He is out of the office until next Tuesday but his email address is as follows: (PM pensmyth for e-mail address). I apologize I was not able to help you directly.

Regards

I'll forward my email to him and see what he says....

Jeff all of the kits I buy from Aaron come in Dayaom bags, BUT notice some of his platings are only found on his kits, Look at his Rhodium Jr Retro, the finial on his is Gold TI, also look at the platings on his Elegant Beauties, they aren't available through CSUSA , same thing on the Stretch and Zen.
So I can't understand why he isn't considered a US dealer, unless they are coming in third party, but his prices don't indicate that to be the case, they are too reasonable for him to be adding extra mark up. Possibly because he's in Hawaii but that's still the United States, I would like to know who they market some of those other kits to though, there are several I'd like to add to my inventory.
