I don't think they would do anything like that. That would be horrible for business. I definitely wouldn't buy anything else from them and I'd recommend no one else on the forum does either. We'll see what happens. Has anyone ordered from G3 before? How long does it usuallly take them to process and ship orders?

This actually brings up another question I've wanted to ask for a while. How much does Martin sell the jeans to distributors for? I mean, if I wanted to become and authorized seller and was going to purchase 100 pair of different designs and sizes, how much do you guys think I would pay per pair.

I always wondered about the average profit margin on a pair of RMC's.

To be honest, we would never know what the profit margin on RMC actually is without being a distributor, but it may suprise you to discover it isnt as high as you might expect, particularly compared to other brands. RMC/Yoropiko is one of the few brands that despite its relatively high price, you can see clearly why it cost so much to make in the frst place. Everything from the basic raw materials used, to the manufacturing process itself is costly, you can be certain that in any event none of the products is made in a sweat shop from sub standard materials like some brands I could mention ( and they charge a lot for the products too!) Also the very limited nature of the products means that low yields will incurr a greater cost to manufacture.

As for becoming a distributor, it wouldnt simply be a case of buying 100 pairs of jeans and away you go, distributors are carefully chosen, and whilst you wouldnt have to be another harvey nicks, you would be expected to be selling at least other high end fashion products. RMC can be a hard sell for some who are unable to properly promote the benefits of the brand despite how popular it already is, and with a few exceptions I have been disapointed by how some distributors market their stock. its high end, treat it that way I say! Of course the other reason why there isnt 100 distributors is simply there wouldnt be enough stock to go round, lets not forget just how limited some of the designs are. The finite nature of RMC/Yoropiko means that will never happen, unless it went the way of Evisu, and we certainly dont want that to happen!

G3 Jewelry is a very reputable company. I've only purchased RMC from them once, but it was a smooth transactions. I've purchased a lot of jewelry from them and they go out of their way to service me when I have a question or need. Like I said earlier in this thread, they told me the sale will change daily, so I guess we'll have to keep checking out the site and see what they do next. I still think they're awesome for doing a sale in the first place.

yeah I haven't bought anything new since April I think, the stormtrooper pants. I'm hoping they do this sale every season!

how long are these going to stay in "pending" ? Do they have to get them shipped from RMC or do they have them in stock?

my payment was cleared and staus says processing since yesterday mourning.. I think I will recieved the shipping confirmation today or tomorrow according to my last experience ordering from them..

and they ship it with fedex over-night from niros in GB

I ordered my stuff last Friday and the order is stilll "Processing". Do they ask RMC to make the jeans after you place your order or what? One thing I've never understood is having to wait on a business to ship an item they supposedly have in inventory. Doesn't it simply involve going to shelf, grabbing the product, throwing it in a box, and taping an address label to it. From what I've read about G3Jewelry, although they're a U.S. based business, they ship RMC and Yoropiko products from Great Britain, so I'd think they'd be a little faster about "processing" orders that customers were going to have to wait for anyway. There was certainly no delay when they deducted the funds from my bank account.

The biggest heartbreak from being a huge fan of RMC is as far as I know, there's not an authorized seller in the Houston area. So I'm going to have to order online all the time anyway. I however will not use G3 again. The sale was nice and I saved some money, but if the jeans were coming from Great Britain in the first place I might as well go to Togged. At least that would eliminate the middleman here in the U.S. and maybe move my order along a little faster. I'd really like to get a better idea of Martin's distribution structure and exactly how it works. Unfortunately, not only the rarity of an authentic pair make them hard to obtain, but they're really not that readily available to most people who truly appreciate the brand.

They ship during business days due to postals not working on sundays, Fed ex and UPS don't do pick up on weekends if i remember correctly and will only deliver on saturday for extra fees which ain't cheap. You can always count on togged to satisfy your RMC needs. i know its tough not being able to have easy accessibility to what u like but i believe good stuff are always worth waiting for.

I don't know, anytime I order something on line I just expect it to take at least 2 weeks to arrive. and from what I saved from G3 I think it's worth the wait.
