Is there any cost savings if we get a group buy together for shipment of accessories to the USA from BEEZ in Thailand? Maybe work out a special shipping rate? Or find out if BEEZ has step shipping rates based on weight or cost of items. Not sure reshipment costs wouldn't eat up any savings and someone will have to break items out, repack and reship? There is import duties to deal with too that maybe included in BEEZs costs to us too? There needs to be some compensation, pre-payment for items and re-shipping cost after items arrive. Have seen this work for certain soon to be banned items on certain boards, but usually done to get lower price or custom builds by increasing quantities to break-even point? I put together a $350 order from BEEZ and shipping was another $200. I need to play with my cart and see how shipping changes depending on quantities and cost. Maybe an email to them asking? I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Was wondering if anyone was interested in this besides me? Maybe we could open our own store on this forum? Being a capitalist I do understand that a buck or bitcoin has to be made in every endeavor or else its a charity. I'm retired and could do this as a hobby but that's how my other hobby turned into a small part time business to save money that is soon to be wiped out like the Keystone pipeline was. Not sure I want to do again but.....this might be viable until the electric version of the 125 trail comes out, and then it might use some of the same accessories? I might have to do my own version of MadMax fuel production to keep my current donkeys running though. At my age they will certainly out live me and things might not get so bad by then that it will impact me. Probably the kids will fight over them if history of them remains true?!
