Why Choose Independent
Let's cut to the chase. The issue with allowing one platform to dominate the marine market is fraught with ethical issues. Platforms like Amazon put too much power in one set of hands. At BRP we like to shop locally where possible and order independently where practical.
- Independent distributors try to compete with low-price items often failing and subsequently loosing sales.
- Quality of goods reduce due to poor manufacturing.
- Materials not as stated, inferior metals , stainless steel grades etc.
- Products are falsely reviewed on mass.
Case Studies
It's easy to fall into the trap of buying cheap next-day delivery items to get a boat project back on track but before you do consider some of these case studies.
Stainless Steel D Loops
A wrongly listed and graded "stainless steel" D loop that had sadly been sewn into a permanent web around a permanent canopy frame.
Stainless Steel Pop Buttons
These stainless steel pop buttons were falsely labelled as stainless steel marine grade. These types of pop fittings are often punched and pressed semi-permanently onto marine canvases.
