Impressive!

We're in the 40's! Not even counting mine! :o

Just posted the interest thread on BYOC, I don't know but if we get in the 100's, it gives a bit more leverage on dealing.

I don't know yet, have to contact them first, they probably have a minimum quantity purchase... ...wich is usually pretty high.

UPDATE

Here's what i have for now. First! We have reached the minimum numbers required for a breakout price. Still waiting on final pricing quotation from various suppliers.

The good news, what have killed me last year with that GB is that when i received the order i had 170$ customs bill added on top of the order. But this time, i'm completely bypassing that PITA.

The Brothers from a Foreign Mother.

So here's how it will work once we get this going.

-USA-
Big thanks to Forrest (culturejam) who will take reception of the order (saving on primary shipping) and then redistribute the Modules to all US participants, so US guys, you'll definitly get a better shipping rate and delivery time.

-UK/EUR-
Broski Juansolo is taking charge of the distribution for you guys. 8)

The shipping cost of the bricks from NorthAmerica to UK will be equaly divided between each participants involved in the GB, this will stay relatively low, i have to go at the post office later today to post stuff so i'll bring a sample box to get an exact quote about that.

Once the Bricks have landed, UK shipping will be 8$US and EUR 11$US.

-AustralAsia-
Guitarmaggedon is willing to assure distribution in the Wallabi world. Ben you can chime in to speak about the shipping cost within your area.

Anyone that have question or suggestion, feel free to chime in. My only goal is too get this to you guys in the best times and price.

Thanks

How about shipping to us Canadians?

Hahahaha, sorry forgot about my own land.... ::)

6$ will cover it for most orders, since it's an overweight small parcel, but still fits in a padded envellope with foam to have the brick tuck'd in.

Just trying to sort out forwarding to mainland EU costs. Currently it's £6.17 (plus jiffybags and covering the shippage to me from CJ if you're wondering why we've guessed a little more). However just to complicate matters, Royal Mail are changing the international shipping at the end of March and this is all it says:

No mention of costs... Could be interesting...

On the plus side, redistribution in the UK is easy peasy.

Once i have confirmation of the final price, i'll make a google spreadsheet for people to sign in.

Found them and as far as I can tell, international (EU) signed for is gonna be £8.70!  Jesustittyf**kingchrist!

UPDATE: Actually it's more than that... It's over £9...

It might be worth trying to find someone in the mainland EU to do another redistribution, our international shipping is really expensive. To the point that you'd be looking at the price you can get a brick from Banzai all up. So there's no point.

I can still cover the UK though. That's easy.

Packages shipped from US to international are automatically at least $8 even for one ounce. You must fill out a customs form. If you can fit the item in an envelope that is under 3/4 inch thick and uniform flatness, it would be called a "flat" and 1oz is about 2.50 usd.  I have lots of experience shipping packages internationally.  The best bet would be to send the bulk qty to one person in each country and then they can ship domestically.  I am equipped with packing materials and label printer for doing this type of thing. If I can help let me know.

As far as I can tell, comes in at the end of March. I don't ship lots, but I ship enough for that to smart a fair bit!

Thanks guys for managing all that PITA. International shipping is always expensive, also within the european mainland. I paid 13.20€ from Vienna to Germany (approx. 5h drive by car) to return a delivery (0.7 kg). Couldn't believe it! Since the company I got the package from had to pay, I didn't bother.
But I guess, it shows that it will not make much of a difference if Juansolo ships it directly from the UK or if we distribute from the european mainland on our own. Also, the question is: would it even be worth having someone to do that? as far as I can tell we are just a few guys here. Depending on the final price for the brick itself I guess I'll pay around the same as with a non GB, but it's always nice to help the community!
