Men's Shed and club discounts at Timberbits
Timberbits is here to help you create with wood. A lot of that creating happens in Men's Sheds and in woodworking and woodturning clubs, so we run a standing discount for members and for the sheds and clubs themselves.
Here is how it works and how to get it set up.
The two discounts
| Who | Discount | Applies to |
| A member of a Men's Shed or woodworking/woodturning club | 5% | Your own orders |
| The shed or club, through one approved buyer | 10% | Orders placed on behalf of the shed or club |
Both are attached to your online profile and come off automatically at checkout on eligible items. You need to be logged in before you start your order.
What the discounts exclude
The discounts do not apply to:
- Festool, Incra, Tormek, Bessey, Vicmarc, Henry Taylor and Hamlet
- Sale and clearance items
- Items already on bulk discount pricing
- Gift vouchers
Everything else is eligible.
Start here: register a profile
The discount sits on a customer profile, so the profile has to exist first. Register at timberbits.com/_myacct/register.
Fill in every field: full name, address, phone number. If details are missing we cannot set the discount up.
Setting up the 5% member discount
- Register your profile if you have not already.
- Call us on 02 9788 3383 or email sales@timberbits.com.
- Tell us the name of your Men's Shed or club.
- We add the 5% discount to your profile.
Setting up the 10% shed or club discount
The shed or club nominates one person to buy on its behalf, and the discount goes on that person's profile.
- Make sure the nominated buyer has a registered profile.
- Someone from the club emails sales@timberbits.com with that person's name and contact details.
- The details in the email must match the registered profile, otherwise we cannot match the two up.
- We add the 10% discount to that profile.

Using your discount
Log in before you start your order. The discount then applies at checkout on eligible items. If you are not logged in, it will not come off.
Why we do it
Sheds and clubs are where a lot of people first get their hands on a lathe, and where the knowledge gets handed on. Cheaper gear means more of that.
Questions, or not sure whether your club qualifies? Call 02 9788 3383 or email sales@timberbits.com.
