LOL!

i'll have a large meatlovers with a side of ecies thanks. oh and a garlic bread too!

platypus · 03-06-2004, 11:27 PM

jalapeno is the secret word of the day...

Zed · 04-06-2004, 08:39 AM

Jalapeno... meat lovers... garlic bread... I leave this thread for a day and look what it turns into. :lol:

Well the good news is the shifters have arrived. The bad news is they're being held at the international mail centre and require clearance before I can get them. Which means more likely than not we're going to cop some import duties. I plan to drop by the mail centre today and pick up our shifters. I'll let you know what the outcome is later today.

Zed · 04-06-2004, 02:27 PM

:x Grrr.... Over an hour wait at the mail centre to pick up the package and we ended up with a customs bill for $406 (15% duty, 10% GST). I suppose it was bit much to think >$1000 worth of shifters would slip through the customs net.

Anyway, I've paid the bill and got the shifters in my possession now, but it means an extra $37 from each one of you.

That's about what the customs charge was on the TWMs wasn't it twilight?

So if you could all deposit that amount into my bank account I'd appreciate it as my cc bill is due very soon and it doesn't look pretty. Here's my account details again so you don't have to look them up.

Account name: Zane M Hsu
Account no.: 559400099
BSB: 012-212
Bank: ANZ

At the end of the day though, I guess we still ended up with a pretty good price - $162. Considering they're apparently over $300 if you buy them locally I'd say we're still doing ok with the group buy. And they are one fine-looking shifter.

twilightprotege · 04-06-2004, 02:53 PM

i cant remember what the TWM shifters worked out to be, but it was about the same - $36.05 actually

twilightprotege · 04-06-2004, 02:54 PM

^ to explain why i said i cant remember than i did - i went and looked on msprotege.com

Zed · 04-06-2004, 03:04 PM

Cool, so who's going to pick them up from me and distribute them on dyno day?

Rupe gets 4 to take down to Melbourne for him, pr1mo, moomoo and Dogo.

Odd12c, JynX and BigMal - you can either pick them up from me direct (I work in West Ryde) or get them on the long weekend from whoever is going to be courier.

Riceboy - did you want twilightprotege to bring yours back up to Brissie for you?

Brad323SP20 - are you ever in Sydney? Might be easier if I post yours to you.

Rupewrecht · 04-06-2004, 03:16 PM

ok, i've paid

Bank acknowledgement details

and as long as someone gets the melb ones to me on dyno day, it's all good

BigMal · 04-06-2004, 04:53 PM

Zed
I work in Chatswood and finish work at 9pm both tonight and tomorrow night.
I could pick up mine and Jimbo's and whoever elses you want to give me to
take to canberra.

Regards

Mal

platypus · 04-06-2004, 04:58 PM

yeah i'll do it....

your in west ryde? no worries at all, that on the way to parra for me... i prefer ryde road etc....

PM me with details, and we can organise this thing

Zed · 04-06-2004, 05:48 PM

Ok, well I only need one of you to pick up the shifters so you can decide amongst yourselves who wants to come get them.

I'm at work from 9am till 4pm tomorrow, then Tues-Fri next week 8am-7:30pm.

And odd12c, I've also got your shifter bushings so if you're going to make a deposit into my account for the customs fees it's probably easiest to deposit an extra $40 for the bushings at the same time.

twilightprotege · 04-06-2004, 08:20 PM

yeah riceboy said i can bring his back for him when i spoke to him earlier in the week - so just give the shifter to james or whoever is going to the dyno weekend for me
