Just read an article from till eberle, north kites boss and head of development, he said that north kites now submit all orders direct to dealers instead of a national importer, which allows a better service to customers, especially in reclamation and product availability

Hopefully this is true, getting North kite parts can be a long wait in some cases.
Can an be very annoying considering it is a big selling brand!

pretty sure its been like that for a few years now with North. So don't expect any new changes, unless I'm wrong...?

Pretty sure my mate who stocks north goes through an importer/ distributor, maybe a shop can answer ?

nah its been like that for a few years. The shops pre order and any emergency orders get flown in. It take 7-14 days to get flown in and they have specific pre order date for goods that are sea freight so they all get combined.I think till is talking about USA and Europe.

One never knows that if our political leaders read this post they may follow this more efficient model
