Awesome sauce...

Account requested. Thank you

I received a reply back that they only sell as wholesale. They are wanting me to fill out a Wholesale application. I feel this is not for normal consumers who are wanting to just pre order a single piece.


EDIT:
Received a reply back stating they cant sell to a single Consumer. They will sell direct to a business like Secret Compass, and then Secret Compass will get better pricing since they can buy direct. Hopefully the saving will pass on to the consumer from there.

I hope this leads to even better things for XM and their North American clientele!

Now bring on Angelus!

Though, their site is a little confusing. GFX seems to sell wholesale as Lotus stated. So somehow another US/NA company has to get the XM products from GFX and we buy it from the US/NA company. I hope BBTS works something out with GFX!

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

This is whacked. It's like a BJ's whole sale supermarket.

Secret compass already charge 1k for the ultimate swordsman exclude 200$ shipping. This is secret compass ordering straight from Xm website.

What makes you think secret gonna order from another middle man cutting into their profits.

The only way USA customer can benefit is having Xm licensed distributor here burdening some of the shipping cost for USA. Instead of $200-300 oversea shipping, we pay $100.
Begone with the 5% PayPal fees.

Secret compass must have a middle man that can pre order from the XM web site with a Singapore address. They are paying that middle man as of today.

The idea here is Secret Compass can now order direct from GFX Distribution at XM Wholesale prices.
GFX Distribution will have pallets of the pieces shipped to their warehouse, and from there they will ship to Secret compass .

Hopefully since Secret compass no longer has to pay crazy shipping and the Middle man , plus XM retail that they will pass the savings on to the US consumer.

We shall see if pieces like the Ultimate Swordsman will be reduced from the current 950USD plus 250USD shipping to something lower.

Keep an eye out folks....

I'm curious if this will actually save us in NA any money verses what we do now.
