Actually, just for clarification, that's the cheaper version.
This one is the more expensive jacket.
Posted by: anthony May 2 2005, 10:31 PM
Is the jacket leather or cloth?
Posted by: Gint May 2 2005, 10:42 PM
FYI Aaron - Some clarification if I may.
Their jacket isn't $168 dollars, it's 169 Euro. 169Euro = $217.38 USD Or 169Euro less 20% = 139.20 Euro = $173.91 USD. Shipping at 10-15 Euro = $12.86 - $19.29 USD
It is this one (gif from the American vendor's site):
Thier cheaper jacket is 129 Euro = 103.2Euro = $132.75 + Shipping at 10-15 Euro = $12.86 - $19.29 USD
This is the less expensive model (again, gif from the U.S. vendor's site):
You should probably also double check that shipping. Their web site indicates 35Euro so 10-15 Euro seems too cheap.

i believe they may have leather, check their site
it will be considerably more expensive though

Just tryin to get the facts out to everyone so they all know for sure what they're buying. In the long run it will save you some issues.
Posted by: lotus_65 May 4 2005, 07:47 AM
i'm in for a size large.
regarding shipping:
i think the vendor would take our order, with individual addresses, then distribute the jackets at the shipping price.
you'd think they would bulk ship those that are going to the same address, or if there's a group, say in l.a. that meet regularly... i don't think it would be good to ship twice, that sounds like a waste to me.
i'd really prefer the lemans jacket though.

and 40-eleven individual customs declarations?
international shipping is a PITA !
i think they'd be MUCH more willing to put everything in one big box and fill out ONE customs declaration for the lot - might even be worth a bit of a discount...
(but there is the issue of paying duty on one $3000 box rather than many $150 ones, that might sneak through u7nnoticed...)
i only see the export side where i work - anybody here know how it works for imports ?

hmmm, i didn't think of that!
maybe we should just stick with the domestic vendor?
in any case i'll stay out of that part - just tell me how much $ and where to send the check.
Posted by: GWN7 May 4 2005, 10:47 AM
Imports work this way:
Country of origin (countrys currency) Times the rate of exchange on the date on the invoice they are shipped Times the rate of duty from the country of origin plus the freight.
Also US Customs seems to want you to use a broker if a shipment is valued over $200 US (add another 10% or more for the brokers services)

And the Lemans also has hand pockets, which the cheaper one does not appear to have.

i looked at the pictures; they weren't much help. there are hints to the effect that the one pictured isn't what we're getting. i didn't see any actual pictures nor descriptions of what we actually WERE supposed to be getting.
and there were many responses that didn't quote what they were responding to, so the whole thing has been very confusing. especially since the thread is still called "Le Mans jacket group buy thread,,,"
so - tell ya what - when we can get an actual official thread with pictures, descriptions, and delivered pricing of what we're ACTUALLY going to get for our money, i'll be able to commit.
i don't think i'm being unreasonable wanting to know exactly what is being offered, and at what price...
thanks...
Posted by: i love porsche May 4 2005, 07:34 PM
here is the link to the site of which we are buying the jackets
www.grandprix-jackets.com/english/index.htm
point 1 THERE ARE DIFFERENT STYLES OF JACKETS THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM
there are a few different types of jackets, and i will list them all here
ORIGINAL GRAND PRIX - 129 euro 166.874 USD
this is the one i thought we would mainly order, because its the same style as the le mans jacket, only it lacks the le mans lettering on the back, along with the american flag patch. it is made out of cotton
GP 24 HEURS - 169 euro 218.618 USD
this is the original one that was ordered by the PP board, it has the 24 heurs le mans lettering on the back and has an american flag patch on the shoulder. this is the more expensive version, and if you want to order this one, please verify that
LADIES GRAND PRIX - 129 euro 166.874 USD
this is just the womens version of the grand prix jacket, same style, but with a womens fit
GP RACING LEATHER - 298 euro 385.493 USD
the same style as the Grand Prix jacket, but with a cowskin leather outside
note: all these prices are before the 20 percent discount that we will recieve for the group buy
shipping on this is still needs to be figured out, i will email the vendor and ask whether he prefers to ship them individually or all in one package
so i will get back to you all with that issue shortly

Come on Rich... You have a guy here (Aaron [i love porsche]) that volunteered to put together a group buy. He's never done it before. Go do you homework. Below my post with the pictures is a post with links to the American Vendor's site and the European vendor's site. Have a look at one or both of them and you'll know as much as anyone else does. All of this information was in the original thread. I'm going to edit Aaron's original post here and update it with these details if that will be helpful.
I'll just repost the links here:

Here is another vendor in England who has the same jackets.
http://www.export56.com/dakota.jsp
Maybe they can offer a better discount?

here's my guess:
a group buy gets you distributor pricing, for which you get to be treated like a distributor: you get all your stuff in one box which they will ship to one address and prepare one customs declaration, and you will get to arrange individual delivery. a distributor does that from his 20 per cent discount, and gets to keep anything left over. so please check into that very carefully.
thanks for posting the product details!
the USD took another hit against the Euro yesterday; it's just a shade under $1.30... and the transport companies are still imposing fuel surcharges on top of their published rates; read all the fine print to avoid unpleasant surprises...
until we know the delivered price, we still don't know what we're being asked to pay.
if i do the math right, the "GP 24 Heures" is Eu169 * 1.2978 * .8 ~= 175.
the "Original GP" is Eu129 * 1.2978 * .8 ~= 135.
if you can confirm those numbers, i WILL COMMIT to one or the other, so if you're counting heads to get up to 20, i'm in.
when you know what shipping will cost, delivered to my door, i'll be able to tell you which i can afford.
Posted by: lotus_65 May 7 2005, 12:11 AM
sorry, did we dismiss the u.s. supplier? will they not give us an equivalent discount and avoid the import?
big thanks to iloveporsche!
Posted by: i love porsche May 7 2005, 09:30 AM
well.the us buyers prices are alot higher, and we get the same 20 % discount...the price still ended up being high so lots of people dropped out, which would lower the discount and up the price again..prettymuch ruining the point of a group buy, and the european seller was a decent considerable amount less so we are going to go with them
ok, the seller gave me an estimate for two boxes of jackets to come here for around 160, when you divide that by 20, you get 8 dollars a person.
this is just for shipping, customs and stuff will be a bit more, so im not sure how much that will cost, does anyone have an idea?
after the boxes are here, (im assuming they will be sent to my house) i will distribute them from there. i know that all this shipping is quite a hit on you all, so if by the time it arrived here, you needed an extra week or two to get some more paychecks in, that would be no problem at all.
if you want to calculate shipping for yourself, it would be from the 07110 zip code
hope this information helps =]

Is that 160 Euro or $160 USD?
No idea on the customs charges. Never done it.
Posted by: i love porsche May 7 2005, 09:55 AM
160 usd, i converted before i posted
he said between 120 and 130 euro, so i converted 125
Posted by: GWN7 May 7 2005, 11:16 AM
Rates of duty varry depending on where, how and what something is made of. There is also quota placed on clothing. Each country is given a quota of garments (read $ value) and a permit is required from the government to import under that permit. The permit tracks the amount of goods imported from that country. For example if the goods are made in Canada, USA or Mexico they are imported under the Free Trade accord, but a permit is still required. They can be assembled in another country but made of material made in one of the free trade countrys and be imported duy free (permit still required).
Also each garment if for resale can be required to be labeled properly. This not only includes material contents, care and sizing, but also they can be required to have a manufactures number on the label. This is found by looking for the RN# (USA) or the CA# (Canada) that should be found on the tags on the garment.
There are 95 pages in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule dealing with clothing and another 56 pages that deal with cotton. The general rules are another 424 pages. Think your tax forms are complicated? Try importing something. Just looking for the right classifcation will give you a headache.
You really need to ask the manufacture for the tariff code treatment to determine what the duty rate into the USA will be. As they have exported to the USA before they should know. Rates can vary from 8.5% to 58.5% (from what I can tell) I wasn't able to find the country classifcation but Germany should be general (8.5% duty)
Customs can ask where the cotton was made (yes, the raw material). It surprizes me that they don't want to know where the bees/bugs come from that polinate the plants.
If you add 10% for the dutys and another 10% for the brokerage you should be safe.
You don't pay dutys on the shipping.
Clear as mud yet?
Posted by: i love porsche May 7 2005, 05:05 PM
..just about...
so adding 20% per jacket you say?
that means it puts us right back up where we were...
this sucks
didnt know it would be this hard to organize a group buy...

organising the group buy is easy.
getting a better delivered price than the established distributor that does this for a living every day - that's hard. these are people who already have their contracts with the shippers, know how to handle the customs brokers, and buy in large quantities that net them even better price points.
i have to give you full marks for effort - an international deal right out of the blocks was something that most of us (well, for sure i) would not even have attempted.
it's VERY hard to pull off a group buy without SOMEONE getting really pissed off, or losing a bunch of money - or both.
there was one famous group-buy attempt here in recent history that ended fairly badly, so you're well ahead of the game to have avoided that.

Posted by: Leo Imperial May 8 2005, 11:33 AM
If it's not going to be any great savings call it a day. With all the money and time your putting into phone calls and emails...let those who want the jacket get it on their own. Save yourself the head ache

Don't look at it that way. This was one of the toughest group buys to pull off that I've ever seen.
And I've been PISSED OFF over a group buy once or twice.
You did great, don't knock your effort. Thanks for stirring up interest. Sounds like we may get something done.

here's what makes a great group buy: "one size; one color; one price - take it or leave it."
even *that* is going to require that you collect all the money up front (or be willing to finance the deal out of your pocket), try to collect from the people who said they wanted in but didn't pay, deal with people who *do* want in but it's too late, deal with the supplier, pack up everything and get it all shipped to the right people. daunting task.
add in the issues with international currency exchange rates fluctuating hourly, and one of the thorniest customs issues there is right now (clothing) and you had a very tough nut to crcack.
it takes a VERY brave and secure person to admit that the deal is not happening and call it off; lots of people would stick to it through the (typically unpleasant) end.
ya did good.
it sounds like the "new" deal may actually be to locally manufacture a series of clone knock-offs -- and get out of the business before the official licensees get wind of the deal!

Posted by: Mike_S May 18 2005, 08:27 AM
I'm new here and saw the thread. When I want something for a good price, I just become a dealer or find the largest distributor. All you need is a business name and resale liscense, which is free, buy your stuff at discount and pay your sales tax at the year end. Charge your friends a couple % profit to cover your paperwork and everyones happy. By the sound of it you'll meet the minimum.
Here's the reply I got this morning from them.
Thanks a lot for your dealer request ,the terms are very simple ,we need a first order of 2000 USD to get you started ,
The wholesellprices are 50 % off the retailprices witch you find on our website .
I just need to know if you have a store and what other brands you sell .
If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact me .

Looking good Bruce.
Would your source be able to do the patches on both sleeves and the embroidery on the back like the more expensive of the 2 jacket styles we were considering?
What price range are you expecting for these jackets?
Posted by: GWN7 May 25 2005, 08:08 AM
Anything can be duplicated (for a cost). The Heller on the front will have to be embroidered. The crest on the right sleeve I can't identify. The flag on the left is easy. Costs will be.... still not sure, depends on a few factors. I'll let you know as soon as it's all nailed down.

I'm still a little confused. Is there another group buy purchase to be made in which we can order any model? Is that what he's saying in that PM?
Posted by: Kerrys914 Jun 4 2005, 12:56 PM
I think the discount is already set. I asked if we (914club) could join their group buy and he said no need to since the price is set.
35% off list and pay him by June 7th.
I'll dig up the PParts post and link it here. The jackets are the same as we wanted.
Cheers

I searched on Pelican and all I could find was a quote that there would be another group buy after the first order was completely shipped. I couldn't find anything indicating that a buy was in progress at this point. Let me know what you find out. Thanks Kerry.

Hi Guys, rdane here from Pelican and one of Global's/Dom's dealers. I set up and we are shipping the original Pelican group by.
No problem doing a group buy for you guys. Here is the deal as I originally stated to Kerry.
"The prices have gone up a few bucks but you don't have to worry about getting a group together you just have to buy fairly quickly.
Prices are retail list minus 35% plus $10 shipping for each jacket or article bought . Shipping in the USA only and via prioroity mail. I'd prefer not to loose my ass as I did on Pelican with shipping. Orders have to be done via PayPal to this address dane174@attbi.com by June 7 midnight.
All orders must include the model, color and size requested. Wait times have been fairly long but the sizes have been correct for the most part. If you don't get the order info right the first time I will just refund it and go on to the next order. So please take the time to do it right and save us both the hassles.
These group buys are a pain to get in and keep organised. I will only accept orders with payment via Pay Pal and only until midnight on the 7th of June. I gave the Pelican guys 12 hours. They filled their 50 person order in something like 5 hours!! Only the first 50 orders will be accepted. Order as many items as you like but only 50 original buyers so I can keep track of the craziness..
No refunds or exchanges at these prices so buy carefully and review the threads on Pelican to get it right. I will not be back on line till Sunday night so I can't answer any emails till then.

can you post a link to the Pelican thread with details ?

i did finally find that on P4; thanks for reposting for those of us with short attention spans :-)
i'm still undecided. some circumstances have changed a bit, which is bad, but i do have a birthday coming up, which is good, but i have to pay for art supplies to show stuff at the Parade Goodie Store, which is bad, but if i sell a bunch of stuff there'd be money coming in which is good, but some long-looming bills are coming due, which is bad ... dazed & confused, that's me ...
when do you think you might have your SoCal 2,7 onsite to send me parts? i don't want to do anything that'd affect my ability to pay you for the parts i committed to ...

I can relate...
If all goes according to plan, the motor will be at my house a week from today. But I'm in no rush. It will be several weeks before I can commit to doing anything with it other than storing it. And even then I can wait a while. Let's move to email for further discussion.

are we on a 6 week delivery schedule like the Pelican order?
No hurry, just curious.

Six weeks will be perfect for me. 
That means I'll get my jacket around the 1st of August when it is 115 in Vegas.
