I'd like to have 1 board as well, if it's not too late!
Can you remove me from the list please?
As much as i'd like it due to other circumstances i only have funds for either this or the everdrive (in the other group buy thread) at the moment and seeing as the everdrive is a one-off payment and this is going to need continual cash for other components i think i'd better stick with that.
Sorry to mess you around :(
Thanks
No problem - let me know in a month or two where you stand as I may have a spare board or two.
Super cool! Declaring Interest for 2 x boards please!
hello,
i have interest for 1x pcb and my brother for 1x pcb.
greetings evi
Hi all,
time for an update of sorts....
It's time to talk about shipping options for these boards to the individual end users.
There are a few options available for sending these boards, some cheapish, and some downright expensive.
the link for rates is here...
http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/ap...execution=e1s1
Small packet air is the cheapest (and no tracking info & no insurance) at $18.20 for weight of 250gr - 500 gram. I do not know the weight of the
boards so i am assuming that hopefully 1 board and associated packing would be in this weight range.
As the weight of the package increases then the cost becomes cheaper. for example, a 3kg package sent express post to UK to a
group of 8 users would cost $100 and has full tracking capabilities. The 3kg package could probably contain 8 boards so the cost
per board to arrive in its destination country would be approx $12.50 and then of course local customs would try to get their
cut. (customs value would be low) and the boards would need to be forwarded on to the local persons in that mailing group.
mailing options (box dimensions would be approx 16" x 16" x 2")
Priority post... Don't even think about the cost
express post Int'l - tracking number, delivery confirmation and optional Signature option ($2.50). included insurance for $100
and $3.50 for each additional $100
Tracked packet - with tracking number and $100 insurance (remember that if you want the $100 insurance then the item has to be
declared to customs as $100 so expect higher duties). This is only available for max weight of 2KG
small Packet Air int'l - No tracking number, max 2kg package, no insurance available and cheapest of all air delivery options
Int'l surface - cheapest, no insurance, no tracking... verrrrrrrry slowwwwwww. max 2kg package
sample table of costs
weight (Kilo).......express......tracked.......small
........................post...........post.........packet
0.5k.................. $75...........$47...........$18
1.0k...................$75...........$57...........$35
2.0K...................$81..........$70............$53
4.0k...................$122.........n/a............n/a
8.0k...................$186.........n/a............n/a
*** the above rates are for the UK, so your country may be slightly different ***
n/a means not available. Use the Canadapost link i gave earlier for more info
USA should be cheaper...
1kg to USA - options are... express post = $36, Expedited = $22, and tracked parcel = $19 (they all have tracking number
If people want to do group mailing then work it out between yourselves and let us know.
I calculate the approx weight per board = 350 grams, but guessing.
I just checked the cost for 50lb box sent to UK using priority post. it would cost $650... for that price i could almost fly
myself there and put the boards in my luggage lol.
If you choose an option with no insurance then i cannot be held responsible if it gets lost in the mail
All I know is that I refuse to pay more shipping than the English !! :run:
:). I figured i'd better post the prices now so people don't get too shocked after the fact :)
Im going to have to withdraw my interest in this, Ill be a bit short when its time to stump up :(I hope this isnt a problem.
I'm willing to receive boards for Dutch buyers, and pass them on. If there is a full list of dutchies I'll contact them to sort it out... ( hey guys, PM me! )
