Wow, the GB is looking good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ........Since it appears we are gonna reach the 25 qty. price point ... I think I am gonna get 2 tacos and 2 tuna in BLACK , still deciding on shipping method .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think it is a good idea to let this GB go till the end of January at minimum. It will allow Jonesy to start work on the vast quantity and will allow more peeps to get in on the GB, potentially getting us an even better deal ........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

$66.64

I can take one more tunacan to save another $3 each.

I'd be willing to receive the entire shipment from England and distribute it via Priority Mail if that will save people more money.

Good going, Chris ... now I have to recalculate everything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

and thanks for catching my typo ... yes it's $66.64, or it was before your addition order (it's now $63.39) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


The dollars shown in the right hand column are an example of the savings over having the items shipped from the UK to those particular individual participants, and the list is not cast in stone yet, so those #s could change a bit.

Most of the 'LA' guys (except for Val) are fairly close and the orders can be distributed from here without reshipping. Val may reconsider a shipping method if it's only a few dollars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I haven't calculated using a single receiving location and reshipping. If someone with better math skills than me wants a go at it ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I just ran a spreadsheet for this option using the current piece total of 17+25=42.
To start with I used the "socialist" method and divided all shipping equally per unit.
Import shipping per unit works out to $2.25 and US delivery average works out to $2.05/pc.
This assumes one package delivered to LA containing 10 pcs, for $10; No delivery cost for 8pcs to CT, $6 for one or two pieces and $10 for 4pcs everywhere else.

This also assumes I can ship 2 pcs together via Priority Small Flat Rate, rounded up to $6. If the Tunacan is more than 1 5/8" tall, that may not be possible.
Using this method, anyone ordering one of each will pay about $119.44 at the current exchange rate.

I'll re-run it with each person paying actual shipping for his order.
Some people will pay more, some less that way.

Still plenty of time, Joe. Just let us know what you want, color and quantities and I'll update the list.

Thanks, Chris.

The .xls only downloads half way, then hangs up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ... I'll try on another PC.

I used to work for a manager that wanted every proposal looked at 12 different ways to determine the best cost. I'm retired now and don't have the time or patience to do that anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Neil,
Can you tell me, how tall is the cylinder of the "tunacan" sump extension?

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
It means a taco plate and a tuna can will easily fit in one small flat rate box.
So cross continent shipping for one or two is $5.35.
3-10 pieces is $9.62.

It looks like the LA group would pay $3.29 per piece total shipping, vs. $4.56.
Someone receiving one of each would pay $10.01 total shipping, vs. $19.56.
I'll repost the spreadsheet in the morning after making adjustments.

Are the tuna cans easy to install once the engine is together? It may sound like a dumb question, but.....

Does the taco plate accept the stock sensor?

If so, count me in for one of each black preferred.

Let me know who needs the $$

Thanks!
