Rocket Store is currently putting together a new Motor Distribution Program (MDP) and needs your help formulating the best package possible. The new MDP will take advantage of our soon to be announced AP Shipping Service.

Our new AP Shipping Service will allow us to send all AP motors via TNT Express at a current forecasted price of £29.95. As far as we are aware this is a unique service offered just by Rocket Store as we are the only Rocket company with access to this feature from TNT.

The purpose of the MDP will be to cut the cost of shipping per rocketeer and also to boost club attendance by giving a small discount and new feature. So here is how we imagine it working:

• The Rocket Store website will allow club signups under the new MDP scheme. A club would signup and put the club details and a central contact for us. This doesnt need to be anyone on the club committee. This contact would have a full explosives license and RCA and would take on the responsibility of accepting the motors on behalf of that club.


• Over the month prior to a launch, rocketeers will be able to select motors from our website and then make payment as normal, however they will be given the option to collect the motors at a club launch. When choosing club collection, they will automatically receive a 5% discount!


• 1 week before the club launch, a full list of all items ordered for that meeting will be sent to the club representative for approval. The representative will pay the cost of the TNT shipment to us and we then ship the motors together with a list of who ordered what will be sent to the club so they may recover the shipping fees proportional to peoples orders.

We believe the above MDP will mainly benefit clubs that currently dont have a regular vendor and will hopefully encourage rocketeers to attend clubs through the much reduced cost of shipping and discount. Clubs partaking in this scheme will be able to advertise they are a member of the Rocket Store MDP and motor pickup is available.

We are looking for feedback before we put this into practice. We want to get it all set up ready for 1st Jan 2009, however we are able to send AP motors during the last part of the year once our TNT account details are finalised. If you have any feedback or want to add ideas to the program, please let us know at custserv@rocketstore.co.uk.

We hope this new program will help with the growth of rocketry in the UK.
