Motor Distribution Program

Rocket Store is currently putting together a new Motor Distribution
Program (MDP) and needs your help formulating the best package
possible. The new MDP will take advantage of our soon to announced AP
Shipping service. The new AP shipping service will allow us send all
AP motors via TNT at a current forecasted price of £29.95.

Please note this is a unique service as far as we know and we are the
ONLY rocket company granted access by TNT to send ALL AP motors,
pyrodex and black powder legally by courier.

The purpose of the MDP will be to cut the cost of shipping per
rocketeer and also to boost club attendance by giving a small discount
and new feature. So here is how we imagine it working.

1. The Rocket Store website will allow club signups under the new MDP
scheme. A club would signup and put the club details and a central
contact for us. This doesnt need to be anyone on the club committee.
This contact would have a full explosives license and RCA and would
take on the responsibility of accepting the motors on behalf of that
club.

2. Over the month prior to a launch, rocketeers will be able to select
motors from our website and then make payment as normal, however they
will be given the option to collect the motors at a club launch. When
choosing club collection, they will automatically receive a 5%
discount!

3. 1 week before the club launch, a full list of all items ordered for
that meeting will be sent to the club representative for approval.
The representative will pay the cost of the TNT shipment to us and we
then ship the motors together with a list of who ordered what will be
sent to the club so they may recover the shipping fees proportional to
peoples orders.

We believe the above MDP will mainly benefit clubs that currently dont
have a regular vendor and will hopefully encourage rocketeers to
attend clubs through the much reduced cost of shipping and discount.
Clubs partaking in this scheme will be able to advertise they are a
member of the Rocket Store MDP and motor pickup is available.

We are looking for feedback before we put this into practice. We want
to get it all set up ready for 1st Jan 2009, however we are able to
send AP motors during the last part of the year once out TNT account
details are finalised. If you have any feedback or want to add ideas
to the program, please let us know at custserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We hope this new program will help with the growth of rocketry in the
UK.
