Member discounts

Revision as of 18:17, 11 November 2020 by Gregm (talk | contribs) (Removed some outdated contacts, shuffled and cleaned a bit)


Notes

  • Note that at many vendors (with or without discounts) there is a cash account (that can't be used for purchases on term credit) under "Calgary Protospace Ltd." Note that puts us under "C", not under "P".
  • Some vendors may want to see your "company ID" in order to take advantage of the discount. This is your Protospace ID card, which you can receive once you become a vetted member of Protospace.
  • By attempting to access a Protospace Member discount, you agree to keep your dues paid, and that, on request, Protospace may verify to the merchant that you are a member (no personal information is shared with the merchant).

Discounts

Calgary Bolt Supply House

  • Discount varies by volume and type of product, but can be significant
  • State that you are with "Calgary Protospace", and their computer does the rest.
  • While it may work at other locations, the location near us (on 12th) knows us well and goes out of their way for us.

  • We do NOT have individual discounts.
  • There is access for organized "group buys" done through Protospace, but the details are changing.

Metal Supermarkets

Today we received a very generous email from Brandon Frise, the new manager of Metals Supermarket in SE Calgary. He is offering us a discount of 10% off on all items until June 30th, at which point they will re-evaluate our usage and could even potentially increase the discount amount. Members will simply need to show their membership ID cards and mention to the staff that they are with Calgary Protospace in order to take advantage of this deal (remember, Calgary Protospace usually ends up filed under C, not P!) He would also like us to know that they are currently working on incorporating online orders in the coming weeks. He's very open to inquiries for different materials and advice via phone, email and in person. Brandon was very complimentary about what we've accomplished at Protospace; if you do make a purchase from Metals Supermarket make sure to let them know that we appreciate their offer!

Our employee discount is 25%, so, I'll shoot for 30% until the store is open. If it's stuff I'd lose money on at 30% I'll just tell you and only drop it to cost. Once the store is open I'll probably make the permanent discount something like 20% for Protospace people to use and perhaps 10% if you're buying it for a friend I've never met. But I'll figure that out later. Don't spam the list with orders. Email me privately o.
