Quote from Edd Hunt from FUNKED about the savings in combined shipping
"My largest box is 180 x 70 x 60cm (70in x 27.5in x 23.6in), weight is not the issue the price is expensive because of size, so the more I can fit in the box the better. In one of these boxes I can normally fit a couple of full bumpers, couple of sets of sideskirts or front and rear lips, plus loads of smaller parts like spats, spoilers and riser blocks etc. On average probably 6-8 items depending on what they are and how they can be packed.
I would estimate this size box will cost around £350 ($511), but seeing as just sending a single bumper costs around £300 ($438) you can appreciate the price difference when divided by 6-8 items"

This can also open up a discussion on how to evenly distribute the shipping costs between everyone and who the bulk package is going to.

PM me or Post if you are seriously interested and in what item(s) and I will add you to the list.

SHIPPING DISCUSSION (copied from later post in thread)

Please please throw any ideas or helpful input!!!

Shipping from UK to US:

Cost:
New estimated TOTAL shipping price from the UK should be around $700
*****
While we await an exact shipping quote I am accepting part payments, and then once I split up the shipping quote I will be accepting UK-US shipping payments. I will then be using a company called Transferwise as suggested by Edd. This is best way to lessen the International exchange rate fees and make the process less convoluted by having money converted once rather than 10 times by each buyer.
******

Edd and I will be working together to try and figure out how to fairly split the shipping costs for people who are only getting small items vs large item buyers.

Recipient:
I can have the package delivered to my local post office or like courier service (UPS/Fedex/DHL) and pick it up from their facility as to prevent any sort of odd variable of handler damage or theft that might occur if having it delivered to my house. Since I will be getting the package that would mean I would not have to pay for more shipping to my residence as everyone else will have to do, to even this out or make it more fair I can increase my shipping charge from the UK, how much that will be we can figure out along the way

Damage:
Upon receiving the package I will meticulously inspect every item for any damage I believe to have been caused during its shipment and notify the affected buyer and Edd of the issue and will take steps on resolving the problem.


Shipping within the US:

Cost:
At this moment I only have a few large boxes, I can get a bunch more from a local bodyshop to use to ship out the larger items. I am going to grab some of the dimensions of the larger items and start to grab some estimates for shipping.
I can use a specific courier service at each persons request (USPS/Fedex/UPS) along with any desirable insurance additives. USPS will probably be the cheapest for the smaller items but I know you all have experienced some bad times with them in the past as I have too. I believe if I pack the items smartly everything should remain intact.

Shipping payments will be made to me prior to shipping.

*******
I have done up a couple UPS estimates, one from me to Texas and from me to California. I used the minimum estimated dimensions for a person ordering lips and skirts (a custom tight fitting box that I would have to make) and the figure seems to be around $200 for ground shipping from me to CA and about $180 from me to Texas. I figure you can get a rough idea of where it will be to you based on those figures for people ordering large items. Once I actually get the shipment I will be able to work with the items and box them as small and safely as possible to whittle down that cost.
Smaller items will be significantly cheaper. I still have to figure out the cost for fenders and what size box it would use but i'd imagine it to be around the same $200 figure.
*******

Damage:
Im not sure what actions to take in this situation and any suggestions would be appreciated.

The GB is closed.
You would be better off getting on board with the next one as there will be a bunch of people getting the wide fenders

I can ship to there, if you would like in on my group buy I'm trying to start up. So far I only have 2 people including myself... Would like to get another 2 or more...

Sending mine in a bit, hope it gets there for CSP

got it!

Yeah thats the goal! I think it should be possible

only have 3 people who have fully paid off their dues.
lets keep it going and get this shipment out!

Since the last update we had 1 more person pay their part. The rest of the participants have not paid anything yet. Please, if you are reading this and havent paid, please do, so this shipment can get to the states. If you are unsure if you can still participate, please let me know ASAP so that I can use this time to replace you with someone else

got another payment in today.
Expecting another to come along with it making it just 2 left to collect.

Have to fill the gap for one person (as long as the remaining 2 dont drop)

nearly there

I spoke to Edd and he advised me that he could fit my fenders in the shipment for a bit more. I am still interested. Let me know.

Cool I will shoot him a message and see what we can do

Edd is busy for the weekend so he wont be able to help me figure out how to include the fenders until next week.

Right now we are waiting on 2 payments. Both said that they will be paying. When? idk.
But I have already greyed out one member and hope that the fenders will be able to easily make up for that lost space

I am starting to study how to make my own shipping boxes ad the ones that I have been picking up are all over the place size wise

I want to join but there are two things I'm interested in. How do these things look especially the fenders on a car and also do we have to group buy or can we buy directly?

ST202/ST205 C-One style side skirts = any reason they wont work for ST204?

ST202/ST205 C-One style rear lip = any reason they wont work for ST204?

ST205 C-One style front bumper = any reason they wont work for ST204?

I think that buying directly from him will be cheaper haha. Theres no way I am shipping fenders to Guam hahaha

So, I am making the decision to continue with who has paid off their items. We have lost 1 person and 2 other people are "MIA".

I dont want to have to chase anyone else down for payments or whatever so I am closing this up.

Will give everyone an update with the new, smaller, packages cost. My hope is that if any...it would only be a few $'s more per person, but I may just pay that myself and just add it to the US to YOU shipping cost.

YO!!! Give me a shot to get in would ya?

You know shipping to Guam isn't bad, we are part of the US. We have all the major carrier services you have. Just look at how much parts I have in my profile.

and I have ordered from the UK before and similar sized items as the US either costed the same shipping or free. Again now we are talking bigger items, but sure I can order direct from him probably cheaper or faster than shipping it to a middle man.

Does anyone have a pic of what the rare items look like on the car, I'm not talking about the C-one lip, the OEM sides, etc.

Wonder if the front wide fenders will look dumb if you only change that

you need the st205 hood, same reason when you are doing an STxxx to ST205 front end conversion. or you can get the ST202 C-ONE style front bumper which fits with the non-st205 hood. (hood and bumper grill area on an St205 is more elevated if you are confused)

"you can get the ST202 C-ONE style front bumper"

https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-...766494647_o.jpg This one?

looks like it as long as its not st205, but looks right since the center of the bumper is not elevated.

I see what you are saying, last question is am I too late to get in on this?
