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.

[ChrisFoley]

I'd like to get 3 silver Tunacans.

[914_teener]

Mark,

Thanks for organizing.

I am in for the Taco and Tuna.

I am assuming they are universal for all cases. (cases as in displacement)

Let me know payment to uk in Euros? That wasn't clear.

[914_teener]

OOps.

That would be silver in both cases. (Taco and Tuna) Thanks.

I just updated mine to Silver.
Thanks...sending mine to your shop in the LA area- I'm in for that too.

[euro911]

Good questions, Rob.

Neil discussed the Pay Pal and exchange rates in one of his other threads. You will pay via Pay Pal with USD, Pay Pal will convert to GBP.

All T4 cases are the same in regards to these parts fitting.


This whole thing just kind of fell into my lap, so the particulars aren't exactly dialed in yet.

When I set up a fender flare GB from AA, all the participants sent their payments to me and I cut a single check to George. Payments included shipping to each individual participant's address, so it was easy to deal with because everybody paid the same exact amount.


With this GB, some participants will be ordering different quantities and may also prefer shipment to their individual address. Others may opt for shipping to centralized US locations for redistribution, so this would cause differing total charges for each participant.

My thinking right now is that it would be easier if each participant chose their shipping preference and pay Neil (jonsey) directly.

For those who choose to participate in a centralized shipping method, the total shipping charge will need to be added up and equally divided between the participants. For example, KaptKaos' order (1 Taco and 1 Tuna) shipped to my shop along with my order (1 Taco and 1 Tuna) would incur a £14 ($22.75 USD) shipping charge. We would each pay £7 ($9.09 USD), rather than £10 ($16.75 USD) each... ($7.66 savings for each of us) big savings, eh?

If any other Los Angeles 'locals' would like to join in here, the total shipping savings would add up, and end up being even less for each individual. Boy, are we CSOBs or what (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Then, we'll have to determine how each participant would take possession of their parts: pick up at my shop, or I bring to an upcoming event, or ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (to be continued) ...

Of course, these are just my thoughts at the moment, Neil may have some input as well ...

[0396]

Mark,

I just notice a correction... some how you have me down for a 'taco plate'....please delete this as I only need the tuna can... As for shipment,
I might as well have it sent directly to me vs me having to fight traffic to your shop....sorry and thanks.
Last question, when do we need to pull the trigger on this?

[ChrisFoley]

For any other Northeasterners who are getting in on this GB, I'm happy to be used as a payment/delivery hub if it saves us a few Pounds ($$).

[914_teener]

Mark

Ok...I don't mind having to go to your shop to pick up if it will save on shipping.

Seems to me the more the merrier on the manuf. costs. and then ship to your shop.

So contact Neil and reference the GB is what I am hearing.

[StratPlayer]

Put me down for 1 of each. Tuna can silver

[KaptKaos]

Silver for me please.

Thanks for running with this Mark!

My misunderstanding, Peter. I created the list from what I read in both of jonsey's Classified threads. I assumed you wanted one as posted in the Taco Plate thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'll update the list accordingly ...

ALL PARTICIPANTS, Please double check the list to make sure you list COLOR (BLACK or SILVER) ...
BLUE NO LONGER AVAILABLE,
preference in shipping and any other corrections needed[/b] ... I do make mistakes from time to time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

[jonesy]

I know this might add a bit more confusion to the mix and i apologise for that but i thought i should let you all know that i can offer the taco plate and the tuna can in either black or silver.

If some of you have no preference on color then thats cool.

As for the delivery and payment options, i think maybe its best to see who wants what first and then we can discuss the best way forward.

Cheers,
Neil

[pete000]

1 Tuna can in Silver...
