This is because Leonardlp has stated he will be back in October time amongst his comment in the Aero Skirts thread. The order needs to be placed before then so that they are ready for him to collect and ship in October.
Shipping to the UK is yet to be calculated, and the cost (including any duty etc) would be split amongst the buyers equally.
We won't know import costs until the delivery arrives in the UK, but everyone NEEDS to make sure they fully understand there will be a customs and import bill due that will need to be paid for separately once the items arrive in the UK - which would be equally split amongst all in the group buy - I have guesstimated (using an online Customs and Excise Duty Calculator) that we'd need to pay an additional £80 PER PERSON to cover VAT and fees
See his original post here and follow through the pages to see what he says: viewtopic.php?p=1672624#p1672624
50% Is required at the latest by the 3rd week in September, with the remaining 50% due mid October when Leonardlp collects then from the factory - I am just awaiting Leonardlp to confirm PayPal details
There is a max of 20 spots for this order. - Any names added once we've reached the limit will be put on a reserve list.
13 spots are currently taken.
The $360 includes $10 per set to Leonardlp as he needs to rent a van etc in order to collect them and take them to the courier.
Again, once shipping is confirmed the cost will be split equally.
Please write "+1" to add your name to the list. Since this thread has potential to also follow discussions of the buy and the skirts, make sure you have a "+1" post to be added to the list. If you don't write "+1" I'll assume you're just in for the discussion or still undecided.
This serves to gather the names for now and then will progress things as & when we know more from Leonardlp.
Currently, I'm willing to accept the delivery (a handful of members have been to my home in Cambridge) and the others can either collect from me, or arrange their own courier to be collected on my days off.
This group buy may be subject to change, or handover to another member who is better suited to organise this, but I'm getting the ball rolling regardless.
I live in Cambridge - CB22 and have given my post code to Leonardlp to get a quote for shipping costs. I am awaiting to hear back from Leonardlp regarding numbers etc.
So, please write +1 to add your name to the list. Since this thread has potential to also follow discussions of the buy and the skirts, make sure you have a +1 post to be added to the list. If you don't write +1 I'll assume you're just in for the discussion or still undecided.
I will check back and add to the list frequently:
1) Me - IAmOrion (James - Cambridge CB22)
