Group buy for our Interior LED Sets for our Canadian Customers...

[deAutoKey]

Hi,
We get asked everyday about shipping to Canada.

http://www.deautokey.com/category/al...erior-exterior

or anything off our website:
www.deAutoKey.com

We would love to ship to Canada at a reasonable rate but we have to charge the new USPS rates.

It will cost us $23.00 to ship with Priority Mail with a tracking #.
$7.50 for first class with no tracking #. We would love to do that but in the past we got burned on it when the item did not arrive, so we are not going to be offering the $7.50 rate.

We were wondering if anyone would be interested in getting the package and then shipping to the other people in the group buy, of course this would have to be done by someone who knows the other people or can be trusted...

So we can get 5-10 people at the shipping cost will only cost $23.00 or $40.00 if we need to ship it in a medium flat rate box.

Please let us know if anyone would be interested in this and we can start something without the high shipping cost.

Of course, if you don't mind paying the $23.00 rate, then we can do separate orders for you at the $23.00 priority mail/tracking # shipping rate.

Thank you for the time and the support everyone here has given us over the past year!

Would you do some group pricing if there was enough intrest.

This. $55 for a set of lights is on the "extremely pricey" side of the coin.

Also what do you mean by "error free" for mk4 lights? They are simple circuits, nothing intelligent about them....

I can have the stuff shipped to me in Blaine WA, then pick it up and ship it back to Calgary from Vancouver if anyone is interested. It would cost you only the Calgary to Vancouver shipping since the USA shipping is free.

That sounds like a good idea too. We shipped a lot to Canada but I like to save people money and I hate that they have to pay such high shipping cost to be honest,that is why I am trying to do this.

at $55 the price is very low compared to other LED without lifetime warranties.

We never had one person say anything to us about the price other than it was very low and questioned the quality. In response, we don't charge overhead, and we price these very low to get our name out there, we were going to raise the price even so we can stay in business and bring these amazing LED sets to everyone.

Thank you

Ya from what i've seen $55 is very reasonable. Not sure what MechEngg, is talking about. Similar kit from ecs tuning is $90.

Re: Group buy for our Interior LED Sets for our Canadian Customers...

a set of leds should not be even close to $23 to ship, throw them in a bubble mailer or a small flat rate. I regularly ship from the US via USPS and for the size and weight of the product it should be much cheaper. or use the ups all in international service that has all the fees built in. you could also use a shipping company in Canada and send everything to them and they could in turn ship the product out for a decent price.

The issue is protection against the package not getting there. Every company we have looked at charges the same or even MORE than we do... And it is understandable, if we ship the item using USPS First Class Mail it will cost a flat rate of $7.50... that is NO tracking, NO protection. So if the package is lost we will be out of the product and we will have to refund the money to the customer.. We are a small business, that is something we cannot do. $23.00 is for USPS priority mail with a tracking # and protection against a package not getting there.

We would love to ship everything at $7.50, but can we be honest? If the package is lost is the customer going to say "ok, well you tried, thanks away" or are they going to put in a claim for a refund, not caring that we shipped it and it is NOT our fault???

We want to ship to Canada, we have 2-3 emails everyday asking about shipping, we quote the $23.00 and some pay and others say it is too high.

We would like to try that option to ship it to a place in Canada, can you put us in contact to see how that works?

Thanks for listening.

Re: Group buy for our Interior LED Sets for our Canadian Customers...

Lets be honest here, think about how many MORE orders you would get from Canadian customers and weigh that against the odds (say 1 in 20) that your package gets lost (which cost you a total of maybe $30 to get together and ship out). I could be wrong but it certainly seems like that would be the better business model for this product in particular, on some more expensive items maybe not, but this item for sure seems this way.

My wife makes jewelry and sells it online. Most orders she sends out are done like this. Over the last year she has sent out over 200 orders using this method and has only had one issue. Package arrived one day late because of customs, but it arrived. I would at least give people the option for both types of shipping.
