Hi all,
Ok, we are on the home straight now.
I’ve put in our order for the mudflaps and here's how it turned out.
Because of Paypal fees (not using ebay) and ordering 11 and not 5 as was the first quote, the total per mudflap to be sent to each Aussie bloke's place is $11AUD each.
To find out how much we saved, I asked Anne the seller if she would give me a quote on how much it would have cost to send 1 mud flap to Aus and it worked out we saved $11.50AUD per mud flap. So not a bad result. Of course I'm sending to each member for free due to a fringe benefit I have.
Anyway, I've sent an email to all the Aussies (I hope) with my bank account details so any one who wanted one could deposit the $11 in there. So if you read this and haven't sent your dough, I'd appreciate it when you get a chance
.
So from the Aussie side of the Tasman we've done well. As far as our kiwi mates, I did ask Anne if it would be better to send the kiwi order straight to Mo but due to weight costs etc it
still worked out cheaper to have their 4 mudflaps sent to me so I could forward them on to Mo.
I can't give an exact saving for you Mo cos Anne didn't mention how much to send straight to you guys but given the savings we in Aus have made, I'd be surprised you didn't do alright out of the deal either.
Now because I don't have the mudflaps to ask AusPost how much to send to your place Mo, I have guestimated an extra $3 per flap to cover my costs.
I'll now pm you Mo and ask you to send $56AUD ie. (4 x $11AUD) + (4 x $3) = $56AUD) to me and just let me know if you think I'm being unreasonable or not. Whatever, we can discuss it and work something out one way or the other. Certainly nothing I'll get my knickers in a knot over that's for sure. Life's too short. I am hoping you guys are happy with the deal too.
So there you go boys and girls.
Now I'll wait for them to arrive, send them on (provided of course I've been paid
) and Bob's your Uncle
Finally, I would like to thank Bengt (Piper) for sending pics of his bike with the mudflap on cos without his suggestion in the first place and how good the flap looks on his bike, this whole "circus LOL" wouldn't have happened in the first place.
So a big round of applause for you mate
One final thing. The ebay seller Anne has been an excellent vendor and done everything possible to reduce the costs to us, so just in case there is anyone else out there in "blue yonder" land,
here's her Ebay Site fyi cheers
