Edit: FreedomGundam is in the process of fulfilling the Canada order. This is now only open for Europe!
Ok, this isn’t ready to go yet. I’ve contacted Hori about buying more than 3 joysticks (the website won’t allow shipping of more than 3 sticks to me) and they said I can order as many as I want. I’m waiting for a reply about the shipping issue, and once it’s solved I am going to get this bulk order thing set.
Update: We’re ready to roll. Everyone who wants to order one get in on it while you can, I will most likely not put in another order like this again.
Update: Ordered on March 24, 2014
Update: Shipped on March 25, 2014
Update: Shipped to CupHost April 1, 2014
Here is how it will work.
I will put a list of up to 10 people who want a Hori stick. Reply to the thread and your name gets added to it. Once the list is full with 10 names I will close the order and private message my paypal address. Once I have shipping costs figured out, I will note how much each stick will cost and ask that you paypal me the money so I can put the order in. The bulk shipping from Hori to me to @FreedomGundam will be divided evenly between the 10 people buying the sticks. Each person will also have a set amount added to the order for the cost of FreedomGundam shipping to each individual person. If it’s $5 then that’s the extra cost on top.
So, the formula for the price is such:
Base cost of stick ($29) + shipping to me / 10
shipping to Cuphost / 10
shipping from Cuphost to you
Starting off with 10. If there is more demand, I can up the list count.
Cuphost will be handling the European side. Same formula that applies to FreedomGundam will apply to Cuphost.
Say the shipping to me is $20. That means (20 / 10 = 2) $2 adjustment to the price of the stick. If shipping from me to Freedom is (30 / 10 = 3) $30, that’s a $3 adjustment to the stick. If shipping from Freeom to you is $5, that means $5 adjustment to the stick. Total adjustment is $10, which puts the Hayabusa for you at $39.
Hayabusa: $29
Shipping to me: ($20 / 10) $2
Shipping to Freedom: ($30 / 10) $3
Shipping from Freedom: $5
Total: $39
Moonchilde probably lives in the States. After its initially shipped to him, he has to ship it to Freedom, who will then ship it out to the people in Canada who wanted a Hayabusa.
@derukun Well if you don’t have access to it then there is no other way. The extra costs is only because it takes extra work to get these. I am not going to be taking a cut at all, I’ll hopefully be breaking even.
Hopefully shipping costs won’t be high but if there ends up being 30 sticks ordered that means a higher shipping cost for higher weight.
Also, if you want more than 1 stick, please let me know.
@Moonchilde: Any possibility of sneaking in an order of Kuros in there as well? It could take up another (or extra?) “slot” for Hayabusas and cover for 1/N of the shipping costs as well.
