[TR] Moss Rimmer coming soon

[DAVID MASSEY]

Not to be pedantic but Moss didn't buy Rimmer, they were both bought by an equity company that has also bought Coker Tire and other companies.
Merging Moss-Europe and Rimmer is a no brainer.  But when will they merge Moss-US and the now Moss-Rimmer?  I'd love to see some of Rimmer's offereing stocked this side of the pond.

 I've been expecting something like that ever since Moss purchased Rimmer
Bros. What is a bit surprising (to me) is that it only effects Moss
Europe; Moss USA isn't mentioned in the announcement.

I've dealt with both Moss UK and Rimmer Bros before. Both are quality
organizations. I'm hoping that the new organization will adopt the best
practices of each of the three firms (but I fear enshittification). Moss
UK and Rimmer Bros have struggled to integrate their practices and systems
since Rimmer Bros was purchased. They have, apparently, been working on
consolidating their warehouses and inventory for the past several months.

Given the looming prospect of tariffs, etc., I'd like for the combined
European organization to be a more viable supplier for folks like myself
in Canada. Right now, Moss UK isn't. Moss UK charges a minimum of GBP51
(that's USD$70 or CAD$95) to ship anything to Canada. Rimmer Bros, on the
other hand, charges less than GBP20 (about USD$27 or CAD$37) which,
although still hefty, is better.

Fingers crossed.
