Walko 4 Bench

[ericbuggeln]

I thought when Timmy C had them that they were like $350-600???Eric

It would be great if they were. I can't find pricing anywhere in North America so I based that comment on AU pricing (which is admittedly typically higher) so I could be all wrong, in a pleasant way. I hope so.

Here is the AU info:

It seems to me they need one that is like three feet by six feet to process sheet goods easily, IMO, Eric

I bought the Walko-4 from him and it was around $680; I got the set that included the struts, which I found to be very useful.  Woodcraft cleared out the few they had left at those were upper $300, which was a steal.

I stand corrected, happily. [smile]

At those prices I might be able to buy 2.

Do I hear a PaulMarcel Walko review coming up?  [poke]    [embarassed]

Hi Guys

I was talking to the owner of Walko this morning and we both agree that you might not be better off with this group buying idea.  Shipping a pallet from the Netherlands to the USA won't be cheap and then you will have onward shipping fees within the US on top of that.  Plus one person has to coordinate everything and to bring in such a large shipment you may have to issues with customs, etc

I shipped a Walko 4 to the US last week and the shipping cost was $150 and it took 4 days.

We are also thinking of other ways to further reduce that shipping cost.

I'm just floating this out there as an idea.  Obviously I am a dealer, but I do want to help if I can.

We in New Jersey have the major Port of Elizabeth for importing goods which may work out to RMW's benefit.  We could also have a big FOGFEST here or truck it to Virginia and then everyone would be able to pick up their Walko bench without having to worry about reshipping.

I'd like to see Paul-Marcel do a video review.  How about this weekend, PM?  [unsure]

 

[rmwarren]

Exactly. My "day job" involves industrial real estate and I deal with ports, shippers, freight forwarders, etc. I would hope to make a large enough purchase to qualify for volume pricing and then use my connections to manage the shipping and import.

Tom, if you would not mind sharing the owners contact information I would appreciate it. They did not return my second email, possibly due to your conversation, but I would like to explore this further.

Thanks,

RMW

No problem, you have to weigh up the options.

After our conversation he was going to come back to you, perhaps he is still considering it.  We spoke on the telephone.  The only email address I have is the standard info@walko.nl

i emailed them yesterday (email on their website)  as a reply to an email i sent them a while ago.
i got no reply  so i sent it to the email directly and got a reply as normal.
he actually asked me to post on the fog my feelings about the walko system . he didnt realise that i alread post here and did post my great fealings towards the system. .
so he is aware of the fog and what ye are trying to do here.

i hope loads of ye are able to work out a way  for ye to get this great system.
i have a mft for the shop and the walko for the site.

I second the motion!

Do you know why they stopped selling them?

 

[IWT-Tom]

The main USA distributor went out of business.
