Li-FiPo Cellular Batteries - BULK ORDER DISCOUNT

Over on the DRZ forum this has been a hot topic for a while and we've recently been made aware of a supplier in the US of some very reaonably priced units and a standard shipping rate of 40$.

Info can be found here:
http://www.motydesign.com

I've been in contact with the seller directly and negotiated a bulk order discount.
If we can get:
5 units, they offer shipping for free,
10 units and he'll knock 20% off
25 units and he'll knock 25% off.

I go away in a week or two and get back on the 11th April, when I return I'll be chasing those on the list for payment and placing the order on the 13th. I want one of these regardless of the discount so an order WILL be taking place on that day the only variable is the amount of discount we get.

CONDITIONS:
If you're name is on the list but you fail to forward your money on the 2 days (11th-12th April) before I place the order your unit WILL NOT be ordered - no favours!

I will make the order based on assumed discount from all the units requested. eg if the lists reach 12 people then I'll assume we're getting the 20% discount and I'll only ask you for 80% of the RRP. I shall take the initial hit for any shipping/import tax so that all the units are safely in my possesion.

Once they're in my possesion I will get one of the units packed up for posting and get an accurate price for distribution to each individual (I wouldnt expect this to be much different to £5).
In additon if there has been any import tax or further charges then I will present a proof of my payment on here in a manor which satisfies all those awaiting thier unit.
I will then divide up any amount amoungst all those who ordered. (Eg sticking with 12 units ordered if import tax comes in at £60 then its a further £5 on each unit).

Combine this potential fee with postage charges and once again pay that into my paypal account, once your money has cleared I'll post the battery out the very next day.

So in conjunction with the drz forum I'd like to compile a list of all those who would wish to buy one of the batteries.

So please add yourself to the list below in the usual quote and paste manor.

= THE LIST =

Owenski - 8 Cell Hard Case - RRP $150

Don't forget vat and possible customs charges.

As monkey boy says.....watch out for customs. They calculate their charge on a combination of the value of the item, intended use, and postage cost. An example; I ordered £120 worth of Yamaha parts from a place in Texas 2 months ago and customs charged me around £30 (that was with £20 postage). Unless they can mark you package as "gift" I reckon you'll be paying quite a hefty fee if you do a bulk order.

And if it is marked as a gift when it is not, then thats Tax Fraud, which usually ends up, and I have it on good Authority, rubber gloves.

So that says a LOT about you

A gift only goes up to £15 now.

Vat is 20% Soulkiss.

indeed, but my experience is that on top of the standard £12 there can be other customs charges too.

I always like to over-estimate too
