So, all told, do you REALLY save that much money on shipping in a group buy?
Where's the cost savings calculator, excel spreadsheet, or URL?

Shipping update...
I just got a quote for ocean shipping at 33 days. Does this sound reasonable?

i thought we all agreed on air freight....
Ehsan congradulations on the addition to your famliy. I hope all is well with you, mom and the little oneand on the other topic on hand...... 33 days is putting this order into July maybe August. I too thought that we all agreed on air frieght
We did all agree on air, but I am getting quotes for both so that we may intelligently weigh both options from a cost vs. shipping time perspective.
Congrats Ehsan, I had my first, a baby girl in December, they sure are fun.
Seems like a month of the old sloooowwww boat is what other orders endured. I really need my top, so quicker is better for me. I need to drive my 40 this summer while it is warm and nice, but we still get rain and crap too. My biggest rush is that my 60 may need some engine work, so I have to swap out the cruisers. I'd start the 60 work now if I could drive my 40, but it snowed all freakin day today, wet nasty kind, so you get my drift, I'll quit whining.
Sounds like good progress is being made on the tops, any new estimates on completion Ehsan?

Hey, can I get on the order? Is it too late? Joking. This thread has given me interesting reading this morning. Too bad I didn't become a member sooner. These tops look sweet.
Well hope you guys get your items soonish. Btw gratz on the baby boy Ehsan.

Congrats! But now you'll have no time to get anything done!
Congratulations Ehsan!
If the group decides to go with sea freight, no problem. I will contact Ehsan and have him ship my bimini top separately via air. I'm willing to pay extra to get my stuff and not risk it being lost or damaged on a cargo ship.
In fact, Ehsan, if you read this post and this is possible, please PM me and we can discuss this if my bimini top is already finished. Thanks. Would really like to have it before the summer.

Me too....
I'd prefer 'air freight' as well - the sooner the better on receiving our tops....
Congrats to Eshan as well

this works the same for me. I really need my top sooner than later. Being that orders shipped in the past by boat have had damage and stuff, I just don't think that the cost justifies the risk. Air for me please......
I say air, not just for time sake. But it seems every previous order shipped sea has been damaged. Which means more time to repair tops. I would rather pay more to verify my top is not going to recieve water damage
Guys...chill. We are going to ship via air. The importing company that I talked to does both sea and air. I thought I should post both options in the interest of keeping everything out in the open. I will post the air price when l get it. The sea price is about $1,200 not including getting the tops delivered to the port in Karachi which is a 36 hour drive. More to follow this week.
CRRAAAAZZZZZZZY!!
I try not to look at this thead to often it is just depressing in the "NOW" era.
Good thing Summer never ends in North Carolina.
Congrats on the baby Eshan.

Maybe next go round?
Guys these tops look interesting and I'd be interested in the next go round. Can someone reply with a link for his company, I have tried but all searches I've run come up with broken or timed out links. Given what I have seen of the other tops I'd really like to see what he has available for fabric and color options. I too have ambulance doors and I want to see his solutions for that. Thanks.
