Go and live in Germany where the technicians pay even more for their products than in the UK. They try to order all the time from the UK. Creative UK will not sell into Germany to these technicians because it is not their territory. It is unethical, it is breaking a contractural agreement, and THAT
would be greedy. I would say the greedy ones here are EZnail in the US for trying to grab sales that are not rightfully theirs to makeQUOTE]
Hi, im always amazed at the amount of stuff we as nail techs need to know ie company law, trade implications etc, i never thought when i stared out doing nails that i would end up having to know/be aware of so much extra stuff
!!
so, im surprised at the german tech issue and just wondering if someone can explain to me how you can refuse to sell goods to german techs, I thought that as European Union citizens they are covered (as are UK companies) by EU Law - and the EU Trade Treaty clearly permits EU citzens the freedom to work, travel, and trade goods between member states (even if those goods are already available in their own country) so how can you deny German techs the right to purchase goods from the uk.
does this not contradict EU anti-Competitive laws? I understand that as a distributor you have the right to market/distribute within a certain area but surely once we are talking of within EC borders the customer has the right to decide where they actually purchase the goods from?
anyfeedback would be great, thanks
