My last update.
I contacted Neil. He is certain the tunacan will fit in a small flat rate box. If you paid too much, I will reimbuse you for the difference. This is the current pricing. Tunacan $56.17 Tacoplate $39.73 Tunacan cover $28.77 Shipping/insurance across pond = $3.43 per unit. US shipping looks to be a small flat rate box $6.80 Paypal to 7394teen@gmail.com. I am placing this order tommorrow 7/6/2016 @ 12:00 edst. Thanks for your patience Carlos I have contacted each person who PMed or posted to this date. If I missed you I apologize, please PM me. I realized that with the brexit vote, the exchange had a chance to turn to our favor. Waiting saved 8%. This is the current pricing with todays exchamge $1.37=1 GBP I am at 13 of each piece. I do't think it will be possible to reach the next discount level, which would required 25/unit. Tunacan $56.17 Tacoplate $39.73 Tunacan cover $28.77 Shipping/insurance across pond = $3.43 per unit. My zip is 19111. You can I expect a med flate rate box is required if you order a tunacan, otherwise a small flat rate will work. It is easier for you to calc your own US shipping. PM me if you are a last minute buyer. I will forward my paypal to you and confirm the pricing with you. Please don't post here, PM me. Please don't make me do your math. I have a headache already. As soon as I hit 50% I am ordering. Hopefully I'm not eating them. Carlos Hi, You may remember the billet tuna can group buy. I have been in contact with Neil and he would be willing to offer it again. He also offers a Taco plate. He sent me his newest catalog and it is attached here. I have no idea what the pricing will be, depends on volume, but at least shipping will be less. Carlos Engine_parts_catalogue___Type_4___rev.01.pdf ( 121.27k ) Number of downloads: 749 Update, I believe that I have enough commitments to reach the following pricing I believe im am at 10 for tuna can, tunacan cover and tacoplate. I think it will be pretty tough to reach 25 of any particular piece. tuna can @ £41=$59.60 at todays exchange tuna can cover @ £21=30.51 Taco plate @ £29=42.13 There will be shipping, and possibly duties, I'm not aware of what they will be at the moment. Figure a small/med flat rate box, Plus a share of getting the box over the pond. I will contact each of you who has expressed interest to this point. I will keep this alive till 6/12. Again, Please PM me if you are interested. I may miss contacting you. Carlos |

Carlos ,I didn't get in on this, but if you have left-overs from the dickwads who bailed, I'll step up,I may not use it but I'll take one anyways. Before you start calling names, a nice healthy dose of STFU might be in order while you hear the other side of the story. As someone who wanted two of everything (to the tune of $290.16) I placed my order like everyone else and paid on June 27. Look back at this thread to see the updates. On 8/25 I ask for an update. User activity (which, I assume, can be easily verified by Andy) showed that Carlos had not been on the forums since 8/16. On 8/27 (with no one responding) I start a claim with paypal as follows: 8/27/2016 13:07 EDT - Buyer: Hi,Do you have an estimated delivery time on the parts? It has now been two months. If the parts are no longer available please refund my money.Bill On 8/27 jonesy says they will ship next week. On 9/5 another buyer asks for a status. I ask on 9/6. At this point (IIRC) Carlos had still not been on the forum since 8/16. Having been down this road before, I'm getting the feeling this isn't going to end well. On 9/6 (with no response) I file the following in paypal: 9/6/2016 16:03 EDT - Buyer: I have not received the parts I ordered nor have I had a response from the seller. Please refund my money.Thank you Carlos finally posts on 9/9. So, did I renege on the deal? No. I paid for the parts and waited for them. However, a lack of communication made me nervous. I am not blaming Carlos or anyone else..it is what it is. I will gladly accept the parts I originally ordered. However, if the sellers want to sell to someone else I understand. I appreciate all those who were not involved proferring an opinion on the safety of my money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Why did I post this? So name callers with no skin in the game might exercise some restraint before they start their name calling. |

That's fair enough and understandable from my point of view.
I hope there's no hard feelings for anyone on this. The group buy was aimed to help people save money. i hope people don't fall out in doing so, as that would be a shame. Neil |
