From the sound of it (see this thread), shipping is going to be a reasonably major expense for the 914 R/C body group buy.
Is anyone interested in getting a SF Bay Area deal going on this? It could cut down on the shipping quite a bit. (Even more, if the car bodies stack or "nest" nicely!) One person would buy N of them from Ed, and the locals would stop in and get them in person... This would also cut down on the "hassle factor" for Ed, so it could be a win/win. I could be the guy "in the barrel", but it would probably be better if someone who actually had a Pay Pal account were to bo the guy. And, of course, this is all at the sufferance of Ed, who is being nice enough to do the whole distributorship thing for us. --DD |

I think it is a great idea to group them and save cost. THat was in my first email was that the major cost was th eshipping. THe costs are based on size not weight.
THe bodies are coming straight frm Germany to me (ohio). I just talked to him, and he decides that it was easier for him to put in th eorder, I wire them the money on his behalf, and they are shipped straight to me. The cost is basically the same, but saves about a week in handling. SO back to the group, go for it! We can adjust anybody who has submitted money for a single shipment, or add to it and ship all to them! The final price per unit has to be in the $22-$24 range. It would take about 12 or more to see that cost break, but that is a realistic number in your area. Let me know, so we can get the order started, because it is about 3 weeks to get them after money is received. |
