| |  3rd Dayacom Agent in Australia
Hi All
I have managed to be able to convince Dayacom to allow me to be their 3rd agent in Australia.
As a fellow pen maker, I am aware of the issues we face here in Australia regarding the limited choice of pen kits available for sale.
I have seen this issue as an opportunity and as a result I have mortgaged my house. I will be importing in a few of the medium and high range kits. These include the JR Victor (aka JR Retro), Dayacom pen, Full size Gent and Majestic pen kits and more.
I expect that the pen kits to arrive middle to late May.
I will start a thread under the Timberbits sponsor forum found here regarding the full range of pen kits I will be importing.
Thanks for interest.
Regards
Timberbits. |

Woohoo!
Nice one, and brave move, especially in the current economic client. I figured when you told me you'd been chatting to Dayacom that something was up

Hi Dave,
Great news and a big comment. I hope it is successful for you.
I think it is great to have a different choice of kits through the different Aussie agents.
In my 3 to 4 years of pen turning I have only ever purchased Berea kits from Addictive Pens. Can you give me a reason why Dayacom kits are equal to or better then Berea Kits and convince me to change makers.
That said , I wish you the best of luck, and will keep looking and hopefully buying , if I can find a market in this present market.

Thanks everyone for words of encouragement. It is a big commitment on my behalf and I will try my hardest to make it work out.
Terry - Regarding the debate between Dayacom and Berea kits, only you can judge which kits is better for you. Its a political minefield that has been debated to death on this forum and other forums, in particular the IAP. You use the kits which best suits your style and budget, I don't proclaim to have better kits suited to your needs, I only claim to offer you a new selection of pens to choose from in Australia and a customer service which is as good as your going to get anywhere in the world.
The kits that I am bringing in are not kits that Addictive sells or kits that other Dayacom agents in Australia are selling. I am bringing in Rhodium plated kits, which I don't think is stocked by Addictive. Traditionally to get these kits that I am offering you would need to head overseas to the US where shipping cost will make it an expensive exercise.
What I will try to provide is a forward ordering system to help ensure that I am never out of stock of a particular kit. As any other small business owner will know, cash flow is a critical area of the business. Being a builder by trade, forward planning and budgeting is my area of expertise. Hopefully you won't see "Out of Stock" a common appearance on my website, however it is not guarantee that you won't see it as sometimes things don't go as planned.
If you are happy with the service of others and the kits that they provide, don't change, I know I wouldn't.

Dave,
Good luck with it all, and based on your previous service you can count me as a future customer.
