Hi, and welcome
From the previous topic, we hope to start and maintain the buying process here. The cost: THe distributor will sell them @19.95 each sitting in CA. My quick cost analysis is as follows: Shipping from Ohio, (centrally located) I checkedUPS, USPS, and Fedex on a 12"x12"x18" box (standard size) and found the cheapest was Fedex @about 7.00 Ground, and that was based on size,not weight. First Car body w/shipping, packaging $30.00 each. Each additional Car body (up to 5) $22.00 each. Breakdown: $20 Car body $ 1 Shipping to me $ 2 packaging, box, stickers, etc $ 7 Shipping to person The packaging price can be adjusted by region, but the shipping cost is the big hit on the price. THe procedure: Send Me an email to esecrest@ameritech.net with the subject: "Car Body". Include your email address, qty desired, and your ship to address. I can go into the paypal and send you a bill for the qty you want and adjusted shipping. If you want it pay it. You click on the bill and pay anyway you want per their instructions. As I receive the pmts, I'll post the running total. The distributor wanted 40+ as a minimum to start. As we reach the 40 mark, I'll place the order and it will be 3 weeks to get them. The costing will be as posted before. I'll start the new post area with it again. The above gives you a receipt, and keeps everybody covered. Anybody see a major flaw? If not the send the email with info and lets get started. |

Ok guys, here we are.....
I just ordered 40 914 shells, and 2 356 shells. The decals might come with it. He is talking to the factory tonight to confirm. I told him if thery were extra, to order 6 sheets for anyone who wants them. I decided to order them myself, and cover the cost, to get this started. I wanted to make sure they were on there way here ASAP. So Tues-Wed. I will get the preship proforma, and I will wire them the money. Sounds like 40 is about the right amount. We will have the only known 40 shell in the US. His company (Royal Hobby Distributors tm, Multiplex USA) has a RC race track in Southern CA, and was going to put on a race/car show there in June. He was intrigued by all of our getting the 914 bodies in, and was considering using the 914 for the marque car. He would have a real car show, then have 1/10 RC racing, requiring all participants to be using 914 shells. Wow would that be interesting. |
