Shuttlecock distributors

ahtan · 05-23-2004, 03:24 AM

Anyone knows where to get a shuttlercock distributor in Malaysia?

bluejeff · 05-23-2004, 05:05 AM

Did you mean how to be a distributor??

I guess you can just contact the company's local rep.....

As our group play badminton 5 days a week, we use up a lot of shuttercocks, so we r trying to buy in bulk from distributors in Malaysia as we think it would be much cheaper

Or is there anyone knows which shop give the best price

Inskysport in Hong Kong ships shuttlecocks to Malaysia. I think they sell to a few importers. You can email them at inskysport@yahoo.com.hk and ask them for the Malaysian importers' contact address and 'phone no. If your requirements are large enough, you can ask Inskysport to ship to you.

I doubt a distributor is allowed to sell stuff u privately, if there's other authorized distributor / dealers in ur area.

Not true in Hong Kong for shuttlecocks. Most of the shuttles are made in China for OEMs under a thousand and one names. You can get a black label Aeroplane quality shuttle under another OEM brand, even your own if you know how to source them in China. Most OEMs will sell to anyone at competitive prices provided you use the shuttles for your own use and do not resell to others below a certain price level, as they do not wish to have any backlash from their sports stores outlet. I used to buy RSL No. 1 Tourney and Classic from Inskysport and sent some small quantity to Malaysia as well as to some of my friends in Hong Kong, but there were complaints from some stores. I do not now do this, but I still get my shuttles at incredibly low prices, although they are strictly for my own use.

Sorry, I cannot help you as they are for my own personal use. If I were to sell you any shuttles I might lose my cheap source of shuttle supplies. I hope you understand. Why don't you try to get a qoute from inskysport@yahoo.com.hk for a box (carton of 50 tubes) of shuttles to get a feel of prices delivered to Malaysia? Of course more boxes will be cheaper, at least freight-wise. You can then compare with the lowest prices of your other sources. This is a free market. You aim is to get the lowest price for the same product. You can only achieve this if you look around.

I think it will be better if you can get straight from the manufacturer. If you say you used up alot , how much is alot. But for few hundred tubes , i think there is one supplier in Johor who supplies ProAce shuttles. I don't have their address , but i think it local suppliers in Msia can help you. Don't go to the retail shops.

We are using average about 15 tubes a month. One local distributor / exportor in Penang told us that the min order is 2000 tube!! :P

bryanng · 05-25-2004, 03:10 AM

ahtan, ur group seem to have very low utilization on shuttlecock.....15 tubes for a month with 5 days per week, my group used 2 tubes in 2 hrs session......those shuttlecocks r protech, gosen gold, sealion tournament and rsl classic...

found out that shuttlecock quality depend on batch production...some of them r really bad in durability....

ahtan, what's ur daily use shuttlecock....u seem having a lot of time to play badminton....5 times per week...not bad!

We limit to one shuttle per game (cost cutting strategy :P) Currently we are using Protech Green but the recent batches were lousy. Those shuttles can't even last for 5 points. May be the low quality feathers used are caused by bird flu

As u have tried so many brands, which would u recommend?

Our group has more than 30 players & we have courts from Mon to Fri. Not everyone will turn up on the same day. For myself, i m only playing twice or three times a week.

Quality of shuttlecocks is not consistent and you do get an odd batch that is not as good as you expect. Now, if you were to order 2,000 tubes which turn out to be bad, how do you get them replaced? In Hong Kong, if you buy a tube or two of shuttles from a sports store which turn out to be bad, you cannot get any redress. But if you buy 50 to a 100 tubes from a Hong Kong OEM, which is the minimum they will sell, they will replace the shuttles if the batch you receive is of poor quality. I doubt this applies to exports.
Please remember Hong Kong OEMs who deal in shuttles do not buy shuttlecocks from China that come with a branded label. All shuttles come with blank tubes and without any identifiable label on the shuttle. Shuttles come in various grades, which you cannot identify. Only the OEMs can distinguish the different grades, as they all look the same looking at the non-labelled tubes. The OEMs then wrap the various labels on the tubes and affix those round postage stamp-sized labels on each shuttle before finally sealing off each tube with cling-wrap. One way of getting lower shuttle prices is to pick the grade and buy whatever quantity you want without labels on the tube and on the shuttle. This is great if you buy them for your own use, but nobody will touch them if you attempt to sell them.
There is an element of trust in this business. It is possible to find one box of 50 tubes out of 20 boxes of 1,000 tubes shipment of RSL Classic (top model) to be RSL No. 1 Tourney (2nd grade).
