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.

$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.
