I have to shop elsewhere. They wont send me one...

Well Uk stores wont post tiny little cabanon curtain hooks to me either but you dont hear me screaming and hollering about it.

I will get them elsewhere

As I said before... it is all very simple.

If you want a Dutch tent then go to a Dutch store and buy one :)

Is it just one type of curtain hook that a dutch store is selling at inflated prices and has made a deal with the uk store so they wont send you one?

No just like Obelink, it is quite a few models.

Just remember that Obelink is a store and not a web store so anything they choose to ship is a bonus

And some things they wont even ship within Holland.

I dont represent Obelink or work for them or anything but I have said my piece and am done.

Never used Deltas and never had a problem. However, I expect a manufacturer in China might start making something very similar and a lot cheaper before long, and no doubt Rob will then take action to ban the sale of it in the UK, you know, to protect his product. And of course we won't be allowed to buy it from overseas. Oh dear, it's so unfair

Hardly a fair comparison. How about, if an individual decided to start selling nylon Delta pegs in Holland, for about 25% more, and Rob was happy to continue and send the steel ones to customers there - and everywhere else in the EU - via his internet store, but from that point on refused point blank to send the yellow nylon ones to his Dutch customers, to protect the interests of the other retailer.

More like it? (Apologies to Rob for dragging him into this! It gets bad enough with the Delta peg threads! )

That would be fully understandable. Rob (sorry Rob!) would be well within his rights to solely supply the distributor in Holland. If someone offers to act as a distributor, and there is a good likelihood of them being able to sell larger quantities, then it is easier and more sensible for the supplier to supply in bulk to the distributor, and let the distributor have the hassle of doing the selling. It would then be unreasonable and unfair to the distributor for Rob (sorry Rob) to also sell directly to that country. If that distributor only wanted to sell nylon pegs, then Rob would be well within his rights to sell stainless steel pegs directly, but refuse to sell nylon.

Simples, init?
