Just to reinterate Lucky1's point Dib. If dyson's lucky, it can persuade some brick and mortar stores to be warranty dyson dealers. Not QVC and HSN. If the independent vacuum stores are [authorized dyson warranty shops] HSN, QVC, big box stores, fly by night internet dealers, even dyson itself, can't touch them. If dyson is in the vacuum industry for the long haul, and to date it has not convinced me it is [ just the opposite in fact] it needs to belly up to the table and get serious about partnering and enlisting the vacuum indies as dyson warranty/repair centers. Else follow the ORECK model with its own network of stores. Your constant bad mouthing and trash talking ALL indies here doesn't help dyson's cause. Dyson suing all its competitors for frivolous and capricious reasons is not the way. QVC and HSN bundling dyson products [that don't sell/can't sell in any other venues due to the current economic times] is not the way. Even with no interest, and a dozen payments over 10 years. Not now and likely not in the future. TV sales venues for high priced home products [their bread and butter] will likely disappear as a result of either the current recession or the enormous high rate of returns. Put the two together and it's hopeless. Perhaps the reason Shimkus is jumping networks. Carmine D.
Carmine, You need to start rubbing your beads good and hard... I’ve never said all independents. I’ve said many and alike. but not all...and you know it. Dyson has plenty of dealers, just walk by most dealers and you’ll see a Dyson or two on the showroom floor...Oops sorry, those Dyson vacuums are not indicative of independent being an authorized Dyson dealer, but instead those Dyson’s are nailed to the floor...these dealers ain’t letting them go NO WHERE.

DIB, An independent has the right to sell what they want. They might offer to be a Dyson warranty center but the requirements to be one takes away some of our rights as an Independent. I don't have to sell so many of any one brand to keep selling or repair. You said and I quote," It is laughable to think of the sack- selling and lying thru their teeth, dying on the vine independent." Jan.25, 2010 Kirby Bagless Conversion Where do you get that we are dying on the vine and what makes you think sales are hard to get? You say we lie thru our teeth. These remarks are slanderous. You my friend will hurt the very line you defend by making Independents a bad guy . Oreck, has it's own stores but Independents also sell them. The market out here is changing, hence Dyson going to QVC, and HSN. What happened to the great MAP that everybody got the same price? When a company goes these routes it is usually to get capital flowing when things get slow or help keep things fluid in slow economic times. Which is it my friend? Procare |

Carmine,
You need to start rubbing your beads good and hard... I’ve never said all independents. I’ve said many and alike. but not all...and you know it.

Dyson Invents Big That would depend on the QVC bundle and deal. In the past, HSN would bundle $80-$120 plus worth of accessories and 4 flex pays and free ship... no brick and mortar can touch this. Dib: You just posted these two messages on the same thread WRT the same topic. What part of " no brick and mortar can touch this" [your words] is not inclusive of ALL indies? BTW, BEST BUY, tho not an indie, is selling new DC17 dysons for $299. Beats HSN and QVC dyson bundled/unbundled prices. This is the point I made to illustrate that your perspective/opinion about retailers' dyson prices and those of the TV sales is wrong....just like you about ALL indies and ALL bagged vacuums. Sue, sue, sue. Bash, bash, bash. How's that working for you and Sir James? If dyson and you don't belly up to the table and start bargaining nicely with vacuum indies to sell/fix dysons [especially under warranty which is now 5 years], pretty soon you/Sir James and dyson will be begging them to do so. What will you do when they say no thanks. Go see QVC and HSN. What's that I hear? Sounds like a dirge ................ Carmine D.

Not bad at all....
Only half the story. How many are returned? This is the dyson ball model with the motor wiring harness that fails within months of use. Has it been corrected/resolved?
