Treeline Outdoors Roof Top Tent Group Buy anyone?

[cacarbuff]

We got our discount so now we're looking for buyers!

If we hit 5 tents, we're looking at a 15% discount! Send me your info if you're interested and I'll put you on the list!


Hello all,

I'm looking to purchase a rooftop tent from Treeline Outdoors, and they said that they might be interested in getting a group buy together if I could find some other buyers. Treeline tents check all of my boxes for sturdiness, size, weight, and design. Check out their full lineup here: https://treelineoutdoors.com.

Let me know asap if any of you are interested. I'm looking to place the order this month if possible.

I just picked one up from TuffStuff, locally here in SoCal (they do discounts if you pay cash). I'd check them out. Im very happy with the value/quality (came with the annex). A lot of these tents are manufactured by the same foreign company & have varying degrees of markup from retailers. I'd check the specs of what your want across the multiple retailer companies and go from there. :yo:

Thanks for the input. I've done the shopping around and will be purchasing from Treeline. I just thought I could help some other interested parties out with a discount if everything came together.

Where are these tents made, China? I think most tents are coming out of a few factories in China. A quick search and you can find tents delivered to a Chinese port for 4-600 dollars, ordered in a quantity of 5-10 units. Shipping to the US would up the price.

Their tents look very nice. Do you know what the additional import taxes and stuff would be at the border? Its definitely something to consider.

[MENTION=133166]brokedrifter[/MENTION] I don't. Their customer service has been very good so far, so I'll send over the inquiry and see what they say. Can I put you on a potentially interested list?

Yeah I'm potentially interested if the discount is worth it.

What sort of discount would be acceptable? Feel free to pm me if you don't want to post it here. I've seen "$100 off (hitents.com)", "free shipping", "10% off", and "20% off" before. this is the list that I'm going to give them, but I wanted to get other people's opinions on what would be a good group buy discount.

I normally have a rule of jumping onto group buys only when they reach 15% or more in savings. Honestly I dont see that happening with the tent unless we can get about 10 people signed up.

That sounds like a good goal. So far I have 1 + 1 potential.... hahahwell:

Bump for the discount percent!

I'm currently RTT shopping. I've had my sights set on a CVT Denali as I need room for four and they (CVT) are only 120 miles from me.

It looks like the Redwood is close and msrp comes in a little cheaper.

Have you seen these in person and have you seen a CVT? I've read lots of good about CVT but we both know these most likely come from the same or similar China plant...


Curious about the discount. I'm sure the other poster is right though...10 tents to get a discount....

I haven't seen them in person, but all the specs are similar or better... we got a discount of 15% on 5 tents...arty:

Nice!

Now I gotta do the math to see how much fuel it would cost me..make sure it pays off.


They do look extremely similar spec wise.:banana:

Not sure of the cost to ship and import taxes. I think if 5 units are ordered one could get by shipping air with a company like DHL. at 10 units pretty sure they would have to go LCL (less than container load).

I'm going to email the manufacturer in China and contact a forwarding company to get an idea on prices.

The treeline outdoors tents ship straight to the door and the quote to San Diego comes out to $200.

Shipping eats up the discount for me and my time is too precious to drive 30+ hours round trip. Thank you though! They look like nice tents.

Looks like I may have to jump out, shipping would basically put me right back up there with a cvt, and Freespirit which are both only about 6 hours from me. Ill wait for one of them to throw a group buy then go pick it up.
