New Stihl online policy


Stihl dealer in Scotland

Maybe I can clear things up here.

 

The new policy yet to be announced by Stihl will state that ANY machine with an exposed blade will NOT be allowed for sale on the net. So this is chainsaws, hedge cutters ect , even strimmers that are CAPABLE of taking a blade!!

 

Until this is published dealers are supposed to adhere to the previous policy. I have been notified of a few dealers flouting this, so I have been phoning that dealer posing as a customer, if I find out they are willing to despatch i have reported those dealers to Stihl. If they persist then they will have their dealership taken away from them.

 

Lets leave the online products to B&Q shall we?

Actually I asked you if a chainsaw could be sold without a chain on the bar not without a chain. Having a chain not on a bar but still sold with a chain saw does not make the product incomplete. It means that the chain will need to be fitted to the bar in order for the chainsaw to cut wood. Really not trying to bust your chops, I only know here stateside I can pretty much purchase a saw manufactured by Stihl in the box and I can handle the assembly myself.
