Lense buyers should have their tracking now. HID buyers will have it tomorrow, because I have to build some boxes for you guys .

 

Build Away Jason!

 

BlueRex, when can I pick it up from you?

 

30 bucks for the international shipping on 2 lenses seems pretty steep to me. ill pay it, but ive had things roughly this size/weight shipped AIRMAIL from asia in a week for 1/2 the cost. even the domestic shipping (southern to northen CA) is greatly overpriced at $10 bucks. i dont know... 40 dollars just seems extremely expensive for shipping, especially considering it took nearly a year for them to get here. again, ill pay it, but i kind of feel like im getting ripped.

If possible for next time, i would really like to get all of the shipping charges out of the way and paid by all of us upfront... that way everything is settled and not open ended.

Heath...

1) Shipping costs don't increase linearly as the weight increases. So it's not a direct correlation.

2) There are other shipping considerations to be taken into account, such as domestic shipping costs in Japan (from Wisesports), packaging fees, and occassionally, getting taken for a ride at Customs.

In short, any large volume of parts being moved is subject to a much more complex set of associated fees than shipping a single sole item by itself. Having said this, I still assure ya that on the whole, you're saving money, not losing money.

Thanks,
~Ramy

PS: Again, for the record, I *NEVER* make money off of shipping. EVER. But I do not hesitate to spend what's necessary to ensure that whatever I do ship arrives safetly in one piece. I hope all my customers understand and appreciate that, b/c no matter HOW much you save, if the item doesn't arrive in one piece, your savings are worthless...

 

thanks ramy... i was just shocked by the price. either way, i just want dem lights -heat

Hey I don't mind sharing receipts if anyone feels they're being jibbed. I actually have done that before on more than one occassion, as people inquired as to why something "so light" cost so much to ship etc. When they see the shipping cost breakdown, the receipts, and open the box, then they go "Ohhhh ok" So no worries...no offense taken.

The boxes were huge. Domestic shipping is a flat rate. That said we were as shocked as you, but that's the price on the shipping tag.

 

BlueRex, please get back to me on the local pick up.

 

BlueRex , I got your PM. If you can't arrange time for me to pick it up from you. Then I need more reasonable shipping charge. $10 for 1 hour drive is BS. I have no problem to pay $20 for my share from Japan to here. I think that is more than enough. So don't tell me I need to pay another $20 to get it ship to me. I am hour away. I only order 1 set of lenses why my shipping charge is same as other. I have respect for everyone on this forum but don't **** me like I am idiot.

 

I almost had to laugh, not trying to be disrespectful to your plight Sherman2k, but the last sentence caught me as comical even though I don't think you meant it like that. I'll be sending my final payment this weekend. Caught me at a time where I was paying uncle Sam and a few other larger bills. Thanks for seeing this thing through guys.

If pick up is impossible for the local customer then please sell my lenses to whoever is on the waiting list and refund my money.

 

^^Damn, you feel that bad?

 

Listen sherman2k...as previously stated, I have *no* problem clarifying anything for those who request such a clarification. But understand this: I will NOT tolerate that kind of lack of respect for *anyone,* esp. not someone as stand-up and honest as Jason. I don't care *who* you are. Apologize for your foul language and disrespect to someone busting his butt trying to accomodate you when his plate is MORE than full ATM (I'm talking about BlueRex here). Otherwise, I'll be HAPPY to refund your money and sell your spot to someone else, because I neither NEED NOR WANT customers who are disrespectful like that. And I mean it.

List, please accept my apology for not chosing the proper lanurage for the public forum.
Ramy, No dispect intended! I simpley disagree with the domestic shipping cost.

 

Payment sent. Thanks guys!

Quick sidenote...not sure if others have had this issue, but I just happened to stumble back on this thread after several weeks because my subscription had somehow been turned off. I had no idea so figured that nothing was happening this whole time! If you haven't heard from some of the original users, you might want to PM them.

 

Japan shipping was $30 per set of headlights. HID kit buyers were hit up for twice this, because the HID kit was heavier and comparable in size to the headlights. Domestic costs are a flat $10 per set of headlights. I originally estimated HID domestic shipping at $20, because it looked like I would need 2 boxes, but they fit in one and I gave the two people that paid already a kickback because of this.

If you need further clarifications just ask.

I think 2/17 will be a possible pick up date for the locals still interested.

Riccardo, I will try to get your shipping quote this Friday.

 

Anyone who hasn't paid by Friday will get a PM letting them know that their lights are here. Time is tight right now.

 

Yeah that definately happened to me earlier too lol, not sure why.

 

Jason, I will take care the payment this afternoon. Thanks!

 

Hey..that's all you had to say! Oh and b/w me and you, you shouldn't be using such language on or off of the forum

~Ramy

 

Can I pay you the shipping in cash when i go pick it up?
