Ehsan Pakistan Top

[tlc4x]

Woohoo! Let me know how to pay...

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

I am in as well. Are there any updates as to how long production will take ? Also , any info as to payment options ? Just curious, I'm good however this pans out. I do appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into this as well.

No payment info yet, but Ehsan stated that it would take a little while to make up the extra bow sets and doors, but he could complete the order in about 3 months. What I do not know is how long it takes to ship the parts from Paki to the US.

it takes 5 weeks from Aussie to Philly....

I just checked on Merask shipping schedules from Karachi, PK to Newark, NJ and it from 22 to 30 days depending on vessel type. Also, this website has good information.

I'm again voting for paying a little extra to have Ehsan send this via air. We had our last order here quickly and fairly cheap. Full top with bows flown from Pakistan to my door via Georgia was about $250. Why risk sending this via sea freight?

Really?? That seems cheap. If that is the case then i 2nd air frieghting.

if you calculate out shipping as it is now (assuming this is how it will be calculated...) $2500/19 people is about $131 which is quite less than $250.. a few weeks isn't enough to justify $120 in my mind... someone else chime in if they actually know what they are talking about...

on a different approach.. there has been way too many changes and 'we should do that or this.' if we just stick to the plan and let southboston handle it we will get our orders sooner than if we can't decide

I think we need to adjust the shipping up or down individually so that someone doesn't pay $130 to get a bikini top shipped.

shipping is usually calculated cents/lb when you are talking container ships or cents/sq inch

All looks good, shipping is shipping, air or sea, the price is what it is. I would prefer air myself, but whatever works out the best. I agree on the bikini shipping rate, it would be fair to reduce that. But at the same time, bulk and weight of the half doors and such should be figured too, and perhaps tag a bit more on those parts. Just an idea, either way, I'll take a direct split, or apportion it out.

 

[Liam]

I would say if i could get my top 5 weeks sooner for only #130 more i would do it. More than likely it would be 6 to 7 weeks sooner depending on vessel shipping times.....then add another week or two clearing and shipping in the US.

I am talking about the amount that each person pays.

It's not fair if a guy ordering a bikini top pays the same amount for shipping as a guy ordering a top with bows and a set of hard doors, is it?

not at all....that is what i am getting at.

If the total load on a 20' container is say 10,000lbs and i cost $2500 for the container then it is essentially costing .25/lb.

If the bikini top weights 50lbs (including top and packaging) then he should pay $12.50 in shipping.

If the entire tops weights 200lbs (packaging included) then it would cost you $50.

Granted these are just BS numbers, but you should get the point.

Hey Boston, I noticed on your "last" final update D) that you had .......bdyer........down for a black canvas top w/ 7 windows. In his post he mentioned OD Green unless he PM'd you otherwise.

Just thought I'd let you know, I'd hate to see him get the wrong top.

He's on the fence, so I told him I'd put him down for a black one until he tells me different later today.

Remember that my numbers include both shipping from Pakistan to USA (Georgia) and also shipping from Georgia (where freight landed) to my door in Colorado via UPS.

 

[FineWynsFJ40]

Could I possibly hop on and order a couple body parts for my FJ55? Since a container is coming from Pakistan to the US anyways, I would gladly pay my fair share to get some stuff from him. How do I get a hold of him (other than PM), is there a web site or phone number? I need L/R quarter panels, and entire floor pan for my 55. Just a thought.
