Nice front piece, but can you make it any more difficult?... As your method of selling is not practical. In addition, members do not want deal with a product where the price is in limbo with the customs ,duties, etc. etc.. They want deffinate price values and not have to worry about the the distribution of the other kit pieces.
Not to tell you how to run your business, but in all honesty it is the Vendors duty to make propper arrangements of the distribution of there goods. By doing this you will more likely be successfull.
This is what I would suggest..
Start with finding a good shipping service, calculate your price, and then make your offer for each individual kit at either the group buy price or not.
Word of advice, with you being a new vendor here and all, would you be willing to put your name on a list for an item with a seller with no credibility, knowing that the worst case scenarios could be,
1.) would result in loosing $200 deposit
2.) Payment made and no goods to recieve ???
Make it esier and you will more then likely get good results.

Safest payment method for International transactions should be done with a CONFIRMED & VERIFIED PAYPAL ACCOUNT nothingelse!!!
Sellers can easily run away with Wire transfers and money orders!!!

well, let me explain to you briefly and clearly.
on each states, there is slighltly different import duties taxes and custom duties and local charges.
all I can do is to ship all the bumpers to one place and one person would help me distribute the bumpers ( LA area ) and once the guys have clear all the local fees,it will divide it fairly.
if I'm in LA,off course I myself will came to the us custom duties office and take care everythings for you guys
1: dont worry we are not short term business and why taking USD$200.00 ony?its not in my company dictionary.
2: ill forward you the original bill of lading which is from the agent.once you have that original bill of lading, you can call them up right away and check every once a week

who said so?I saw many many customers in usa charging their money's back from paypal eventhought the seller have listed all the rules and agreement.
actually they knew that they have to pay some local fees like import taxes,import duties,storage fees and local charges.
they just pretend dont know.
thats it
ok.there is no problem by paying via paypal CONFIRMED & VERIFIED PAYPAL ACCOUNT>
I'm trusting you guys outhere and please trust on us as well
thnx

2. Bill of lading does not mean much. What counts is the actual product or goods. Good luck, but as for me -- no thanks, I'll pass.

1. We've had a successful GB for a front splitter from Thailand to LA, but it was through a reputable E60.net member. You on the other hand recently joined on November 12, 2008 , and all your posts are within this thread. Not much credibility on my book. You also insist on a $200 non-refundable deposit. You're not making it easy for folks to jump on this GB. With the recent scams that have hit numerous members, I'm sure you'll understand the hesitance of folks to get on this deal.

+1.. credibility is huge here...some of these guys seriously trust no-one now..not your fault, but as frank said.. you want alot without showing any credibility on THIS forum..
I think you may have trouble shifting these, without relaxing your rules a bit, and fixing the prices..

My Ride: alpinewhite's ride
I PM'ed him for his contact info and he did not reply. I told him if he gave me a bumper to test fit and see if it will fit on my car, he DID NOT reply.
I will sell your product for you if you will let me have a bumper and see how it is before you/I sell it to the e60 community. PM me back if you will consider.
