FPMartinez,
Total cost for each participant was $254.39 and there were 33 participants. I had asked for the base price from the manufacturer + 8% to cover duties + another $4.05 for domestic Priority Mail flat rate shipping. Base price turned out to be $241.65. There were Duty/Customs fees due and the package came C.O.D. with that charge. So I ended up sending back about $14 to each person. I figure it was a nice surprise along with their fun toy tuner.
I suggest keeping a spreadsheet of everyone so you can do a mail merge in word for labels. This also allows you to track payments and personal information for your records.
Make sure you have your complete list and number of people and just e-mail Mr. Boulekos with the size of your group and he will give you a total price in Euros for the purchase. You will have to make sure to ask for the bank information as well for the purchase. Have the bank help you with the forms (I was confused to say the least).
I had my shipment in less than a week, so it was VERY fast.
Suggested Shipping was:
US Postal Service Priority Mail (2 day) shipping @ $4.05 (flat rate). Just go to your local post office and ask for the flat rate video tape size boxes (they are perfect size). The postage is already affixed, add an address (label) and you can drop them off or call for a carrier pickup. I think you can compare UPS and not get close to that rate for 2 day shipping. Plus its easier to figure shipping since there are no surcharges for home delivery like some UPS addresses.
I chose to get small bubble envelopes from Office Depot for CD/DVD (they hold just one sprint booster box), but the video tape boxes would have worked too.
Note about shipping: Simply purchase priority mail $4.05 stamps for your shipments. If you don't use priority mail packaging, you will need Priority Mail stickers too. Much easier than making the clerk have a heart attack.
PAULW quoted this information for the group buy previously.
All the information is in the thread, but here it is:
1- The web site is in English:
http://www.sprintbooster.gr/en/index...tpage&Itemid=1
2- This is how you contact them:
info@boulekosdynamic.com
3- Contact them with the application, vehicle, transmission and the quantity you wish to purchase and they will quote you a price and you will need to get his bank information to send a wire transfer, the only way they conduct business.
4- Go to the bank and buy the EUROS and the wire transfer, as a note when the group agrees on money... Banks charge a fee to do wire transfers, the exchange rate to purchase EUROS fluctuates by the minute and you may or may not have to pay a 2.5% import duty fee when the order comes through customs.
5- When the parts come in the person will need everyone's personal information so they can repackage the parts and send them to their respective owner.
6- Install the Sprint Booster and have fun.
