We're absolutely working on this, but LG is a big company, so trying to find the right person to deal with, and then getting approvals, etc, is a lengthy process. The bigger the company is, the less likely we'll get to run it on Massdrop. In general, a timeline would be somewhere between weeks to months.
DrewI believe the whole idea is that they're reducing the number of people in the channel of distribution. Dealing with a manufacturer directly reduces the cost of a product as every added person in the channel (retailers, wholesalers, etc.) all have to add some sort of margin to make a profit. It also makes more sense stock wise as you're dealing directly with the supplier and not through someone else like a retailer who will be catering to their customers before you. Also retailers tend to have a limit on bulk buys anyways.
