Am I mistaken in thinking that a group of investors bought them both? Rather
than one buying the other?

Subject: Re: [TR] Moss Rimmer coming soon
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.
