Do Abelo put poly National kit on sale?

[Paulypaul]

Every other beekeeping retailer and brand has a sale on.
Abelo had some large extraction equipment on sale, but I've not yet seen any of their poly kit discounted.
Do they ever put their poly boxes on a time limited discount offer?

My question is entirely selfish. I need to buy a dozen of their 11-frame National poly brood boxes, and I'd prefer to spend as little as possible.

They do sometimes.

I suggest you contact them and ask when they are likely to be having a sale.
If they are not planning on one in the near future they may send you a discount voucher

For a dozen I’m sure they would give you a discount. Ask.

I think they normally give 15% for that sort of size. IIRC

15%

Thought it was 12...

Maybe the like me better? .............. only joking, you may well be right.

Abelo have just stuck a "Black Friday. Up to 50% off. 24th-27th November." banner on their homepage. Must have seen my post.
I'll warn the wife.

Reminds me of an ancient Andy Capp cartoon where Andy was doing his level best to create a fall out with Flo as Christmas approached. She confided to her friend he was trying to get out of buying a present

Yes. Poly boxes are in the Black Friday section, along with Ashforth feeders and a lot of candle moulds.
Due to to start this Friday.
Hoping for worthwhile discounts

I assume the prices quoted in the Black Friday Sale (what ever that is) pages are already discounted.

thanks....but its listed as the same price as the main website or am i being thick again

 

[Newbeeneil]

No, its not you being thick, same price for both. either they are not discounted or they will be adjusting the prices on Friday but it seems strange to put the Black Friday list up without discounting.

Not discounted yet. Looks like they've allocated products to the BF section in anticipation of discounting on Friday.
