I have been making these as a composite. And the only other option is a foam seal that really didn't fit well. So I got off my a$$ and improved these.
The problem has allways been that the water can get into the lens easily. Now I made a lip that contours to the inside of the lens gasket. I made this from neoprene at 40 duro so it's nice and supple. I'm really happy with how this came out. I will a product ready to ship in 2 weeks. Who want's these? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Does it realy cost $6.80 to put these in an envelope and mail them? They go priority mail, we have to print, buy the ink, paper, tape, printer, and I pay a guy to to do this, and try to keep it organized. The net cost over raw postage is $1.75 per package to process. The envelope or box are free, but we do have to get or order them in. So I don't think I'm out of line. I do try to make other items available to help offset the postage cost. I understand that reg mail is inexpensive, but I still have to pay for the container, and the time to address it. I also have no way to tell if we have processed it other that logging it. So the labor cost eats up most of the savings, if not making it a wash on my side. As well as creating a more complex system to ship and inventory. The shipping is not a profit center for me, but I have to cover costs. |
