    i think i have found that the additional shipping cost for each item is $5.75

    you start by buying 1 item and slwoly adding another item on top of that, each time you do the shipping cost increases by $5.75 regardless of item weight

    if you have 1 item that contains 4 packs ,Universe Robot Heroes Wave 01 - Set of 8, it only charges you 5.75 for the shipping . So

    to fairly distribute the cost , divide the total shipping cost by the number of total items (e.g robot heroes wave 1 is calulated as 4 items) to get $5.75 per item

    Shipping per item = Total shipping cost / Divide number of items

    purchases over $200 , shipping is upgraded to USPS Express Mail
    Delivery typically takes 3 to 8 business days. This shipping method is trackable.

    MAN I AM GENIUS!!!!!!

    I've had a bit of downtime tonight, so I ran some numbers. The savings for each us run between US $8 and $27 depending on how much you wanted.

    Here's my formula:

    1. I construct everyone's order individually and document their shipping cost. Since BBTS offers regular and express for small orders but ONLY permits express for large orders, I documented everyone's EXPRESS rate.

    2. I put together the combined order to get one shipping rate, which I then proportionately divide amongst us according to the RATIO that our individual shipping would have cost.

    So, without further ado:



    So, if this is to go ahead, it's 100% prepay!!! You can pay me via PayPal in USD PLUS PayPal fee (which I can calculate open request) or you pay the AUD amount based on my estimate ON THAT DAY. I'm not sure how long this sale lasts for, or how much more time I can spare (it's quite time consuming to build all those orders), so chime back with your interest based on these estimates.

    No offense to Bread, but it's probably best you ignore his ramblings, especially since he's now pulled out. If you look at my spreadsheet, you will see the larger, bolder row, labeled as "AUD Estimate".

    Any questions?

    The money will have to be in my control and cleared before I place the order. I can't pre-fund this one.

    I think we're up to the part where everyone I've included needs to come back and say Yay or Nay at these estimated, and based on who's left in, I'll recalculate one more time, and then start collecting money, and then order.

    So, who's in based on these estimates:

    Jay: Yes
    Bread: No?
    TDD: ?
    GP: ?
    Turtle Boy: Yes?
    LCZ: ?
    Mel: Yes?

    Blackie, do you want me to calculate you in for an estimate?
