FOR SALE Round 2 Group Buy: Reproduction SLS Reservoir + Stickers

Everyone up until this point has been added.

I apologize for the delay as it's been a bit of a struggle getting them to agree to ship to 2 separate address in order to reach the 50 unit group buy price but the good news is I've sent paperwork to the 25 unit buyer and as soon as that's filled out and sent back to me the order will be placed.

With that, I'm placing a last call for any last minute reservations for 24 hours. The group buy will be closed and payment will be submitted shortly thereafter.

Once payment is submitted I'll start collecting payment from everyone who has reserved their reservoirs and stickers.

In order to better calculate postage, could anyone who has a reservoir quickly measure the dimensions and post here or PM me with them?
 
paperwork has been submitted to AMS auto to allow for shipping to 2 addresses. 50 unit group price secured and invoices will be sent to me shortly.

Thank you everyone for your patience.
 
To make shipping easy, medium flat rate USPS priority boxes come out to $16.10 for all orders of 1 to 2 reservoirs.

For orders of 3+ reservoirs, I can use my own boxes to make sure all 3 reservoirs fit and price will be calculated once reservoirs are boxed up. (Based on my calculations, this should also be around $16.
 
Update on reservoir pricing & more:

55 euro per reservoir level unlocked.

After shipping costs and USD conversion, price per reservoir is $68.50.

I went ahead and updated the chart on the initial post with pricing and shipping.

If you are not purchasing labels, please complete payment at your earliest convenience. Payment info has been added to post #1.

Label pricing will be added and updated shortly.

Prices for labels and amount owed has been added to post #1.

3+ tank orders will be updated once I've packaged them up in their custom packaging as shipping will not be a flat rate.

@dreaming.haze and @gerryvz have sent their info already so just waiting on @JwashE to send theirs over.

In order to ensure that I'm not stuck with a whole bunch of unpaid reservations, I would prefer to have the majority of reservations paid for by Monday, so if you ordered 1-2 tanks, please see the pricing and payment info on post #1.

PMs sent to all reservations that haven’t been paid yet. The sooner we can get them in, the sooner everyone gets their tanks and labels.

I just PMd you. Thanks much!
 
Update:

Unfortunately, after weeks of running after them for payment, the 25 unit purchaser backed out. The good news is, I was able to keep the price at 55 euro per pierce with our current numbers.

The reservoirs are on order and updates will be posted once they come in.
 
UPDATE!

Reservoirs are officially on their way to me and are expected to arrive late next week. Shipments will start go out throughout that weekend so please send shipping info via DM at your earliest convenience.
 
DHL just hit me with an unexpected duty invoice for $109.83.

Split between the current reservations, it comes out to $3.79 per unit.

Please gift the proper amount per post #1. Which has been edited to show outstanding amount owed for duties.

Payment sent.
Any explanation for the additional charges? Why couldn't they figure this out on the shipper's end, instead of the receiver?
I purchase items from all over the world and the only time I’ve ever been hit with customs duties/taxes is with DHL. They collect taxes for customs, especially when the item has an invoice from a business and not just from an individual person selling something. The business cannot collect duties but DHL can.

I think we’re pretty spoiled here in the US when it comes to not having to paying duties and taxes on imported items. Usually we’re able to avoid it, but in Europe it’s on Every package that comes in from outside of the EU. DHL treats it the same here and collects before delivery.
 
UPDATE!

Reservoirs are going out!

In your box you’ll find cardboard that’s folded and taped up. This contains the labels. so please do not throw that cardboard away until the labels are taken out. I did this to avoid having labels that are misshaped/wavy. (See pic)

For those that have not yet paid for their 3+ Reservoir order, I will box yours up this weekend in a custom box and get you a final quote including shipping.

@mwaldron this is your last chance to reserve your reservoirs at group buy price before they go to someone else who wants them.

Lastly, thank you everyone for your patience! Happy to finally get these orders shipped out.
