Leute, es sieht nicht gut aus! Habe gerade die folgende Nachricht erhalten (Hannes wird sicher übersetzen, ansonsten bitte bei mir nachfragen):
Dietmar,
Of all the products I make, the dead pedal is the most difficult, labor
intensive and time consuming. I have to use 4 different hand, 2
electric tools and 3 hand tools to make a dead pedal. I usually make
them in groups of 4 or 5 because of the labor required. I couldn't make
18 at one time. It would be too much work all at one time.
Additionally, the pedal itself costs me almost $40 just to purchase. So
it isn't something I can offer any discount on.
I don't even think there would be a savings by shipping them all to
Europe in one carton and someone there sending them out individually. I
normally charge $20 each for shipping to Europe via Global Priority
Mail. I would guess that 18 pieces would weigh about 30 lbs. The UPS
charges for a 30 lb carton of $1500 value going to Munich is about $240
(or $13.33/pedal). Of course, once in Munich, I would guess that it
would cost at least $7 each to ship them. Thus there would still be no
savings.
There would be a $120 savings if this was shipped by Express Mail. But
the insurance on Express Mail is only $500. So if the carton was lost,
the loss would be $1000.
Any other ideas? Maybe I fly to Europe, find a shop where I can borrow
the tools. Buy the pedals I start with at a much lower local price.
Build them and then fly home?
Enntsprechend zu Spockcat (Jim), gibt es vieleicht eine möglichkeit das iregentwo in D-Land durzuziehen?
