Mathmos USA ?????

[Bohdan]

So far we have no Mathmos USA to buy lamps from. It seems they have waited to long and now that the Summer HEAT of above 90s will be with us for a few months it will not be worth the time to buy lamps.

Shipping lamps now and having customers out there buying them is out of the picture. Not many sale happen in the Summer time for lava lamps and this may be the reason why we may not see Mathmos trying to sell them right now.

I also believe Mathmos is sitting back and taking a hard look as to what sales may be for them in the USA.

Lava Lamp sales have been very poor here in the states and many shops no longer carry such. So many customers have been burned by the sales of LL lamps so even if Mathmos comes here to sell there lamps for the $60.00 plus dollars how many customers will look at there lamps and wonder if this is another company like LL selling lamps that they have bought before with bad results.

Mathmos even has lamps for sale in Australia but not USA very strange this is.

Once the Summer days are over we shall see what happens. They have sold lamps here before with USA wiring in the Fluidiums which had the seal of approval so this should not have been the reason to make it so.

It seems Mathmos is having big time problems with UL approval on there lamps. They had it on there Fluidiums but it seems each model version needs it before they can sell here in the USA. Perhaps this Fall we will see there here in the States for sale since now with the record setting heat upon us who will be thinking of Lava Lamps.

It seems Mathmos has finally released the Telstar for us to buy in the States. There price is $140.00 usa as compared to the Telstar UK set at  69.00 uk pounds which = to $108.00 usa now with shipping included. The extra cost may be because of LampLust  being out of NY and are a 2nd seller. Perhaps this will work out for Mathmos since they offer a 1yrs warrenty and sending the lamp back to LampLust would be easy.

There biggest problem will be the USA customers who still have this $22.00 lava lamp in there mind even though they are cloudy and non working most of the time are made cheap and fast and flow poorly.

What it comes down to is the fact do you want a well made great flowing and great looking lamp from England or do you want a LL China made poor lamp that will still cost under $30.00 with problems that needs to be fixed.
