Great job Jim, looking forward to seeing these made.

[AndyYam]

Immensley grateful to you Jim for the work that has gone into making this happen. Just caught up after not being on the forums for a bit and was great to read and see the designs.

Thanks Jim 

Plan is to ship all to one address and pick-up or local post from there. Should be far cheaper. AndyYam says he does much of this for other bike parts.

As Rich says, us SouthCoast chaps have agreed to get all ours shipped to one location in the Uk and distribute from there.

I'm very happy to be that point and can handle the onward shipping of all those kits in the UK.

If each kit is shipped from Germany/USA (unsure if they will go to USA first?) to a UK address it is likely that the courier who deals with the UK delivery (say FedEX or UPS) will send each person a bill for the import duty and handling fee of £8ish.

If one shipment is sent then that handling fee will still only be £8 which divisible by the group becomes much more pleasant.
It's also very likely that the cost to ship a couple of pistons to the UK is fairly similar to a large box of all the pistons, potnetially a big saving there too.
The other big saving is to Jim who will only have to deal with

I'm happy to front the cost of the shipment from Germany to me.

I can then pay the import duty and handling fee and divide this by the number of shipments and give a single price for shipping that will be a sum of:

A share of the shipping from USA/Germany to UK
A share of the import duty
A share of the handling fee
The courier cost from me (Worthing West Sussex) to you in the UK (Fully insured ofcourse). Or a pack of biscuits if you collect from me (to go with the Tea)...

Your a star Andy Yam.

Yes, nice one Andy, sounds good mate

I appreciate the help with shipping Andy, we will all benefit from that.  There may be a buyer that does not want to participate in the bulk shipping, but I'll make contact with everyone when it's time.

We discussed the shipping last time we did a bulk order.  Wossner has to ship them all to me, the Wossner dealer, to distribute.  So they will all be shipped from Germany to the US, I cannot change that I'm afraid.

I asked Ralph at Wossner if I could add 2 more sets for Phil (Mellorp) and also asked for a status.  It was too late to add anymore as it seems they are close to packing them up in Germany to ship to the US.

I'll keep everyone posted on how things progress.  I'll have to figure out what to charge those involved in the bulk UK shipment, as there will be one shared expense.  If Andy is willng to cover and collect on his side, all I'll need is the remaining 50% owed on the pistons ordered.

We will work it out soon when they get here.

All sounds great! Exciting to think they are ready to be packed!

Regarinding the shipping I guess if you divide the total shipping cost from Germany to US (plus taxes i guess) between the whole group and then we all pay our share of that on top of the remaining 50% we owe.

For anyone remaming who wishes to get sent their direct then they'll all need individual quotes.

I checked with Wossner again this am for a status.  He said he was advised that they left Germany today and should be in the US early next week

[bulldogboy]

Great stuff Jim, thanks for the update

[jcsnook]

UPDATE - No pistons yet but they did hit up my crdeit card for a bunch of pistons and rings! 

[jcsnook]

Good news - pistons have arrived.  I'll be sorting things out and working up balances and shipping costs.  It's great that all the UK pistons can ship together.  I assume every UK buyer will get in on this?  If not you can let me know when I contact you for the balance.

Assume you UK guys will sort out how to pay the shipping amoungst yourselves.

Cheers, Jim

Great news, Thanks Jim 

I'm sure the UK can sort things between us all
