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.

Thanks, not expecting you download all the photos at all. I just looked quickly through them yesturday, but didn't look through comments for prices or anything. I thought maybe he had a website as well and I did a poor job searching. I'll

I thought that it would help to set up a database for him on the forums, but I figured that whenever he finishes the website that will just make what I did a little bit of a waste of time haha.
Yeah the prices in GBP should be in the description of each picture.

TRD Wing price has been added to the list

If you get an order going, you can count me in for...

1.) TRD Wing Fiberglass (no cf center available yet) - $229.70
2.) TRD style side skirts - $143.60 USD
3.) Erebuni style front lip (depending on price)

Again, if we get 6 or 7 people on this, shipping cost for each person (depending on how many items they get) could be as low as $15
(I have yet to figure out how to incorporate the smaller items being bought and their shipping cost cuts, any suggestions welcome)

Lets do it! Add me in for all three.

[Zeros2]

I am for sure 100% I'm for the fenders I'm just trying to think if I should get anything else. But please add me to the list for the Christian fenders

[Overkill]

We need more people on this!

Yes we do.

I messaged Edd and informed him of the current amount on the list thus far. I want to make sure we dont overfill the box and have to kick people out

[4-eyed-freek]

Too bad he doesn't have a euro chin spoiler. I would die to have one of those!

[jordisonjr]

When are you hoping to have this order in? I move home in a couple weeks, and can't really commit at the moment.
But I'm definitely considering it.

[Celica_MKVI]

Please put me down for TRD Wing Fiberglass.
Do you guys know how much the C-One style front lip (st205) will cost?
Also, I am guessing this is just the initial cost for shipping, and will need to pay another shipping cost to whom ever receives the items and where they come from.

[MGCustoms325]

I am tentatively interested in Treacle wide fenders (+55mm per side) Front & Rear depending on price and availability.

Added you and added the price of he lip.
Yeah the initial shipping is what we are after here. I hope to lay out a plan for when it gets here. If we really get a packed shipment it will really have us save so the only real shipping we would have to pay is when it is stateside. When we get a full parcel we can start to make plans for what to do next

added the price to the list. They are available

[MGCustoms325]

Count me in then. Just to verify the rears will be the same price?

I cant say but I can assume that they will be more. There seems to be a lot more work involved with making them. I can ask for an estimate if you like but they probably wont be available for a couple months or more

[ClevelandGaint]

Does he make any Curren parts? Like the full curren rear lip? The TRD spoiler? Same as a coupe or a convertible.

Ok. Please let me know. If they are not available by the time this group buy ends I will have to pull out as it makes no sense to me to have the fronts without the rears. Thanks

[kurt95gt]

Ok I'll be in for 2 sets of ss-iii fronts
Or a pair of those an a front lip as long as we're not doing it till around the end of June. Were working on,closing a deal on,a house so I,have to wait till after that is done

I am in for the TRD style front spats 205 (possibly rears),not sure how much they are... put me down on the list though

No problem, I put you down.
There will probably be another shipment after this one. I know there are alot of people in line for these rear over fenders so youd be able to get it in with that shipment

Put you on the list and updated the listing with the prices for the rears

Tigawoods, would you please add a set of TRD rear spats to my order. thanks.

[RWD_curren]

if only he made wide fenders for the coupe/curren...... I guess I will be building my own out of metal then....

[Celica_MKVI]

Looking at the list of parts and the size of the shipping box(70 x 27.5 x 23.6), will fenders even fit in that size of a box? With the side skirts and lips, looks to be a tight fit right now.

[Zeros2]

If I need to go on the second shipment because of room I'm willing to wait just let me know

I will confirm with Edd again, but seeing as this is his largest box I dont see it being too much of a problem.
I think we are getting pretty close to a full box but I am looking to get a few more people in with smaller items.

If I need to go on the second shipment because of room I'm willing to wait just let me know

Will do but I dont think it will be an issue.








LETS START DISCUSSING SHIPPING
This post will be copied and regularly updated in the OP

Please please throw any ideas or helpful input!!!

Shipping from UK to US:

Cost:
So the total shipping amount for the package will be around $500
This is the part were I would like to get some community input on.
The easiest thing in my mind is to evenly cut the shipping cost among all the participants and have them add that cost to their payments for their item(s) they are buying.
People buying smaller things this may not be fair for because at 8 people the cost would be around $60 for shipping when in reality shipping would have been around $40 or so if they were to get their items individually. Also is it fair for a person who is getting 4or more large items to pay the same as someone getting just a pair of spats.
Although this is a favorable price for people getting larger items, I myself would rather have this price alot lower (which means we need more people in the GB) so that when it comes time to ship items out within the US, that price wont be another bourdon to add. BUT we can only pack this parcel so tight, and I will speak to Edd about what is our limit.

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 am going to take the location that is listed in your profile and add it next to your name on the list to get an idea of where things are going. Later I will ask for everyones address they would like to use and use that for more accurate shipping costs.

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

I would be interested in the TRD wing

[DarkDeath]

Would it make any sense if I were to be able to join in from Toronto, Canada? I think they tried a Canada group buy and it dropped

~DarkDeath

[Tigawoods]

I would like to reiterate...
Please be aware of the estimated shipping charges from both UK to US and the final shipping within the US (or CA), if you are unsure you'll be able to commit please PM me and let me known

I am planning finalizing and shipping this group buy around MID JUNE

I would be interested in the TRD wing

Should I add you to the list then?

It could work out, what are you looking to get? The shipping from the US to CA might be the only crappy part., you would still be saving on the initial shipping from the UK to me.

large item shipping estimates have been updated in the OP.


I am also going to be attending the CSP meet in July, if anyone up there wants any items I cam willing to bring them with me to save $ on domestic shipping.

I can also meet up with people in the NJ/NY/PA/VA and surrounding areas to have items picked up rather than ship

Thanks!

If there is anyone in the Houston/Dallas/Austin/San Antonio area looking to get in on this... We can split shipping to my house and I can meet up with you to deliver parts.

PM or post a postal code and I will look into it, the bumper is going to be a hefty item. I can say for sure that it will be at or more than $200. As Long as its no more than $400, youll be saving money on shipping. Anymore than that and might as well get it directly from him, BUT i dont see it ever being that much. I will look into this week and see what I can find out.

The shipping from the UK will possible be cheaper than $500. I am getting a quote for the current list that we have and will update that in a couple days

[Tigawoods]

***All incoming requests will be put on hold while I await a shipping quote from Edd for the current list of parts in the group buy -- This group buy may close depending on the space left in the parcel***

[Overkill]

What is the news on this deal?

[Tigawoods]

Still awaiting a shipping quote from Edd for the current list.
It was a holiday weekend for them too so I assume he wasnt able to get much done towards this the past few days.
Hopefully we can get a quote before the end of the week. I would like to be able to give everyone their final owed amount by this weekend so I can begin collecting payments.

[Tigawoods]

Edd has about 80% of our order in stock. He is currently producing the rest. Once finished he will be able to give us a final shipping quote

[2bcelica]

I ordered from Ed a few months back and great guy to deal with. Great prices even with the shipping in my opinion.



You guys will be happy with the products.

[Tigawoods]

Good bump!
Everyone should know that they will be getting items that are probably better quality than the originals would be

[The_enD]

Can't compare to original, but they are good quality.

[Tigawoods]

sent out PMs and messages to inform people of their total part costs and to weed out any late "i cant anymore" people lol

[Chinosan89]

Edd was on vacation the past 5 days, he just got back in today. He will be getting us a quote this week so I can begin to accept payment this weekend into next week.
My plan (which is dependent on Edd) is to have the shipment out by next friday

Thanks everyone for holding on.
So far itll only be a week behind my initial timeline, hopefully no more than that

[Tigawoods]

got the approximate final box dimensions and weight from Edd this morning.
He is awaiting a call back from his shipping agent for a final price on the total shipment.
after that we will work together to evenly split up the shipping cost for each person.

SO CLOOOOSEE!!!

[Tigawoods]

every member of the GB has been contacted and part payments are now being accepted.

Shipping quote wont be in until Monday, hopefully by the time I wake up it will be there so I can grab the shipping payments and get this package out of Edds door by the end of the week.

[Celica_MKVI]

You mentioned earlier he could only fulfill 80% of the order. Does he now have everything 100% in stock ready for shipment?

[Tigawoods]

Everyones list is fulfilled and ready to ship!

[Tigawoods]

2 payments received so far, and 3 others will be paying this weekend. Still waiting on a response from a few people. Let's not have this fall apart guys! So close!!

[Tigawoods]

At this moment I have yet to hear back from 3 participants.
If you dont not plan on bring apart of this anymore please just PM me, if not I dont want to hear any complaining when I drop you from the GB.


UPDATE:

At the moment we have a final shipping quote but are waiting on a quote for the customs duties and charges that I will have to pay when I pick up the package. So I am sending out messages giving you a shipping price but it may change a few dollars once we get the final quote.

I have heard back from everyone except Cleveland Giant now. I have 3 part payments in hand now with everyone else sending their payments in throughout the week.

[Overkill]

Unfortunately I am going to have to bow out of the Group Buy. I was laid off today, and I am not sure I will even get a severance. I have the money in savings, but with the way the job market is... it looks like I will be using my savings to survive while I find another job. I am very sorry for being forced to back out. I am greatly disappointed because I know there wont be another Group Buy for a long time if ever. I actually wish I could delete this message, but I am forcing myself to send it reluctantly.

[Tigawoods]

So after Overkill is out we are in need of some people to fill in to make up for the parts now out of the package.
This would avoid having Edd repackage the box, which would probably take a day or two, then get a new shipping quote, which would be less but people would have to pay a larger portion.

I will ask Edd how much of a delay it would be if we just proceeded with who we have in the GB

Pmed

[RKOJ]

I can do a group buy if I can get enough people in Canada ie.) 4+ buyers... Otherwise I usually ship everything to Montana Shipping Outlet where they hold any packages from the USA, and I can drive across the board to pick it up. Saves a lot on shipping... I'm intrested in getting the C-One style bumper. I have been talking to Edd at Funked on the phone and facebook for the past month. PM or reply to this message if interested.

[Tigawoods]

The final shipping quote can remain as we had a member come in at the 11th hour to fill in for the parts lost from Overkill.

Now we just wait until everyone has made their payments!

[2bcelica]

Would you be able to add me in for the wide fenders - shipped to 75054. Let me know the total. Edd pm me last night saying you might still have spots left. Thanks

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...

got it!

Yeah thats the goal! I think it should be possible

[Tigawoods]

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

[Tigawoods]

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

[Tigawoods]

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

[MGCustoms325]

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

[Tigawoods]

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

[Tigawoods]

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.

[Rich_Hardway]

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

ST202/ST205 C-One style side skirts = any reason they wont work for ST204?
nothing different on the sides between ST202, 204, ST205
ST202/ST205 C-One style rear lip = any reason they wont work for ST204?
Same answer as above
ST205 C-One style front bumper = any reason they wont work for ST204?

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)

[Rich_Hardway]

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

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

[trdproven]

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

[Rich_Hardway]

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