Yeah - I'm in for this - have grey and a red roof !

 

[Moheddine]

I've just been informed that there are *** 18 SETS AVAILABLE ***

There are already 15 names on here, so the next three names will be in. I'm still waiting for a shipping quote from DHL, but shouldn't be too much between 18 people.

On a separate note, does anybody know whether this will be subject to import/customs charges?

Would people prefer to pay me via bank transfer, or PayPal? (I don't want to pay any PayPal fees personally!)

Thanks all

I'll take one.

If it's coming from Germany then it wouldn't be subject to import duty as we are both in the EU.

Cheers - 2 more, then order will be closed and would need monies please. Would everybody be happy to pay £65 at this stage, and then for me to reimburse any difference? It may turn out that within this price I can send the covers direct to each of you (recorded delivery) but really don't know at this stage.

 

[hopz121]

Can you get the black ones?

Will they come witht he storage bag?

Thanks

I can't pay until the end of the month - truth be told, I didn't expect the turn around to be that darn quick!
Hope that's not going to cause an issue :/

No, only grey. Yes storage bag included.

 

[bedminsterbob]

I will take a set if not to late

 

[Cracker]

£65 sounds good to me.
we can send as a gift on paypal so no fee's.
Cheers for sorting this

You're number 17 - I'll order 18 as I'm sure there will be a last minute request / I'll sell it on eBay for £140 lol :wink:

Can't risk them selling out though! I didn't expect to move things on so quick, but my impatience has been triumphant!

As already mentioned, no VAT/duty/customs fees are due (because Germany is in the EU), and if people pay by Bank Transfer or PayPal Gift then you won't have any fees to pay.

Group Buys are notoriously difficult, so you may wish to (1) ask somebody to weigh a set of covers so that you know exactly how much they will cost to send on to each of us after you get them from Germany - and don't forget the cost of the jiffy bag or whatever you will wrap/post them in, and (2) ask people to pay in advance, so that you don't risk ending up with a number of sets of covers which people have said that they want but then change their mind. (Sorry to say this, but I've seen Group Buys go wrong before, and the person who has organised the Buy has been left to sort things out).

Agree with all of this.
I'd be happy to be a local distribution point for the nottinghamshire area.

Also, I'd agree about paying in advance.. except that I can't.. but hopefully some of those who I've bought stuff from before will vouch for me

 

[willgill]

I've sent my money, quite excited to get them, until the first time I forget I've installed them and mangle them

Cheers for advice - duly noted.

I am currently getting the package weighed and measured as I type.
