Hello all and thanks for your interest.

Heres some figures for you;

Taco plate
£32 each for 1-4
£31 each for 5-9
£29 each for 10-24
£27 each for 25-49
£25 each for 50+

Tuna can
£45 each for 1-4
£43 each for 5-9
£41 each for 10-24
£39 each for 25-49
£36 each for 50+

Shipping
£8 for 1 Part
£2 for each additional part up to 10 parts
£1 for each additional part over 10 parts


As an example if you order 10 taco plates and have them shipped to the same address they will work out to £31.60 each including shipping, which is less than the £32 for just the part. Or better still if i can make 25 for you then they will be £28.64 each including shipping. But for 50 they work out to just £26.32 each includng shipping.

$$$$ - To give you an idea of the exchange rates -

£31.60 GBP (the shipped cost for each taco plate if ordering 10) will work out to appox $50 USD.

£26.32 GBP (the shipped cost for each taco plate if ordering 50) will work out to appox $40 USD.

Hope this helps, if you want more info/prices etc just let me know.

Cheers,
Neil

EDIT 1/22/13 - PRICE DROP ON TACO PLATES, NOW ONLY £27 each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

As of Feb 1, the count on Taco Plates is 31, @ £27 (currently $42.75) each + shipping*

... and the count on Tuna Cans is now 45, @ £39 (currently $61.75) each + shipping*

* Not sure how the shipping thing will work yet. If a participant can accept a shipment for a group of buyers in your local area, shipping costs could be reduced a bit. I'd be willing to accept a shipment for the local Los Angeles/OC guys, then we can figure out how to redistribute them once they're here ...

If you're located somewhere else in the country, possibly you or another participant in your area can handle your local region too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Otherwise, it appears that shipping would to your individual address at the rates shown above.

I've noticed a couple of requests for Blue... but i'm sorry to say that i can only do Black or Silver.

I did post a while back stating this but its probably been lost a few pages back now.

Hope this is ok.

Cheers,
Neil

NP, i only look at the first page...

I'll take Silver then!

Silver for me as well.

[ChrisFoley]

Right now, someone who purchases one of each and gets both seal kits, will pay a grand total of $132.07 - delivered to their door.
That's a pretty good deal!

[StratPlayer]

So who and when do we pay??

[ChrisFoley]

Read Post #91.

[Jmedeiros]

Please put me down for 2 tacos & two tuna cans in blue & seal kits for all 4. I'm in the bay area so, if anyone is organizing a bulk ship to San Jose, SF or somewhere close by, let me know & count me in!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks,

Jim Medeiros

[Jmedeiros]

Just noticed only 'black and silver'. Silver for my 2 tuna & two tacos.

Jim Medeiros

[Jmedeiros]

Chris - is it cheaper to bulk ship to the bay area?? If so, I'm willing to take all the orders & distribute from my humble abode here in San Jose if someone else isn't already doing it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

You can save a few dollars by grouping.
The choice comes down to how easy it is to meet up with the one who receives the package.

Right now your 4 pc order ships cross country for $9.62 in a Regional Rate A Priority box.
I can fit quite a few more pieces in the box without any added cost.
The LA group has a dozen pieces, so 9.62 divided by 12 = 81 cents per piece.

I'm not going to accept shipping payments until the parts are sent from England, so you have time to work on the idea.

[sportlicherFahrer]

Would like to update my bit of the order. 1 of each in black with gaskets shipped individually. Thank you!

[euro911]

Got it, Jim.

Here's the latest spreadsheet.

Price for one Tunacan, delivered to your door is down to just over $71! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[euro911]

Just a few more days till this GB ends.

Any additional takers?


These are the best price you're gonna get on these for a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)



PLEASE indicate your choice of color (Silver or Black) ...

and if you want GASKETS

[flash914]

One each (plate, can, and seal kit). You will need to work me through pay pal as I use it fine with evil bay but anyother time I'm not so good. Gordon

I am in for one can, one plate and one gasket set for each of them. Thanks!

Only 4 more shopping days ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

[ChrisFoley]

Here's the latest spreadsheet:
 TunacanGroupBuy.xls ( 35k ) Number of downloads: 149


Taco Plate price reduced to 27 pounds sterling.
Exchange rate went down a little more.
One thing the spreadsheet doesn't reflect yet is postal price increases due to hit at the end of January.

Here's my current payment plan:
GB closes Thursday night.
Friday I'll post the final spreadsheet and will PM people my personal Paypal address.
At that time I will take payments (no fee please) for the Taco Plates and Tunacans with import shipping only.
I'll post who has and who has not paid and keep the list updated.

We need a deadline for receipt of payment. Is one week sufficient?
If anyone doesn't pay it will affect the price of everone else's order, however, I have a plan for this possibility.

When we reach the payment deadline I will send our group payment to Jonesy.
As soon as I have an arrival timeline from him I will release the url to a webpage with Paypal button I created for the seal kits and delivery payments.
Paypal pricing will be adjusted to make up for any discrepancies due to exchange rate or dropped orders from the first payment.

This method ensures that everyone pays the correct amount.
It ensures that the Group Buy isn't on my company books but the seal kits and delivery are on the books.
It gives people more time to change their mind on group vs. individual delivery and on the number of seal kits they want.
