Anyone Want To Help Me Out Here.........????

[The Mighty Volt]

This is an unusual request, but I will be taking all of the risks, so please, bear with me.........

I have been trying to secure a large supply of Nickel Tabs now for some time.

This website offers them.....http://mtobattery.com/store/page7.html

They also offer rolled Nickel ribbon.

There are two problems. One they won't accept PayPal, you need a credit card, and two they want $120+ to ship 100 pieces to Ireland. Crazy.

If anyone wants to go half with me on a large order I will paypal you 55% of the base cost plus the postage for half of the product to Ireland plus the postage to the USA. I will do this BEFORE you make the payment to MTO.

I will pay 50% to cover my end plus another 5% to cover the expenses of the person making the purchase from the site.

So if anyone wants in please PM me.

The tabs I was looking at were the following: .375"x1.125"x.005"
The base cost is $0.15 per tab
The Shipping and Handling, if any, I will pay for, but I believe it to be free for 1000 units of the above.
The tabs could then be put in a USPS envelope or a small box and sent over to me, and I will pay that in advance.

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for your feedback.

I already spoke to them via an email and here is what they said:

UPS is expensive for international shipments, more especially small ones. The only other option we offer is USPS Priority which would cost roughly $40. We charge a $10 surcharge on international orders to accomodate the overhead involved with filling out the customs documents and the higher rate of damages that occur. For 40pc I think it may be difficult to ship such a small order for a price which will be practical.

Thats why I came here.

I understand that people might regard it as an odd request. If nothing pans out I will go back and do the USPS method.

Cheers.

I'm sorry, I thought you were in the states (pays to pay attention). Your right they may not be able to help you much on such a smallish order to an overseas destination.

The postage cost would be the only area I could offer to help ya out but when I double checked it, there isn't any savings if I ship via USPS as opposed to MTO.

That said, I could always pick up (or have it picked up) your order from MTO and ship it out usps saving you maybe 10$ total.

Sorry I missed where you are located before offering advice - kinda funny you had already contacted them

Hi Mike...I made a point of contacting them first before I got on here.

One thing I could do is send you the full price. If you pick them up you can ask me for a fee, or you can take a fistful of tabs for yourself.

I am most open to suggestions, I just want to get some nickel tabs without going to Alibaba as their MOQ is like $1000 or something.

Cheers.

Hey TMV,

Have you tried contacting this eBay seller to see if he's willing to ship to Ireland?

You might have better luck and a great price too. Maybe.

I found another eBay seller who sells in quantities of 50 for $7 and $1.55 for First Class USPS shipping. Sounds like an incredible deal! I may pick up some for this price!
