Will sample photos/videos for each person be posted here? Or, will each individual be emailed their respective sample photos? Just want to be on the lookout in the right place.

Thanks for all the time and work you’ve put into this @SeanGecko!

Just getting a few samples made before we pay. Then we will get samples for each set made before we go into production. Tina is adamant about getting them right.

Making sure to get some of the dual sided ones printed off.

I'll send it to your messages the samples after we pay.
I'll update the thread as well so people can see what the progress is as well.

This is going to be a lot.

Make sense?

Awesome. The only chip I'm concerned about in mine is the peach 25c chip.

 

[PlaidDragon]

I like the peach 25¢ !

Sounds good. Thanks Sean!

Again, if there is anyway I can help, please let me know!!

That will make your samples easier when we are working on them. I asked for the NCC chips samples since a lot of folks are purchasing them.

Honestly I can't think of anything. Currently the big thing is patience.
I'm doing my best and I have tried not leave anyone out.

And there was some hand holding on a few orders. I hope I didn't come off as too much of a dick.

Once I get shipping cost figured out. I'll be able to determine if we should do a single order of 70k+ plus cops or two orders of 35k+ chips.

Oh how much should I add on for shipping materials?
I unsure about that.

Thanks for listening to my rambling post.
Any polite constructive criticism is helpful.

For reshipping, look up the costs for usps flat rate boxes. Weight does not matter for them, plus they come with $50 insurance, and tracking is included.

As far as packing materials to protect the chips; I’d guess an additional 1-2 dollars per order. Shrink wrap and bubble wrap.

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

Sean, I work for a moving company, I can have bubble wrap and tape shipped to you at no cost

Might be able to help in other places as well


Boxes as well for the most part, unless you go with the flat shipping boxes from UPS or USPS, you can pick those up or have them delivered to you

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

All of you in Texas that have made orders let me know, maybe we can get them all shipped to one location from Sean, I could send a truck to pick them up from Sean, we(or 1 of us) go to Sean and pick up

May make sense for Oklahoma and West Louisiana as well

we have time and options, just throwing some ideas out

You can order all the flat rate boxes and flat rate padded envelopes shipped to you for $0 from USPS.com. For padding I always use the flat rate padded envelope (free ). Get more tape than you think you’ll need (boxes can never have too much tape) but unless you’re printing postage from home, that’d probably be the only packing expense.

Great combo from amazon:
Tape King Clear Packing Tape - 60... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KGTT7GC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

PROSUN Metal Handheld 2 Inch Tape... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N76F5SY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

 

[SeanGecko]

DUDE!!!! That would be a FANFUCKINGTASTIC!

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

Just tell me how many rolls of tape you need and I will ship to you when we get closer as well as a tape gun or 2

plus if you do decide you want bubble wrap

Doing USPS for shipping unless a member wants to go different.

I'll ask @Marhault his suggestion on TAPE amounts. The tape gun will be appreciated.
This is going to help a lot.

I went through almost 12 rolls of packaging tape. If I were you I'd go with 18 (they came in 6 packs when I bought them). Sam's club had a decent deal on them at the time.

Tape gun would have been sweet lol. I just used the plastic dispenser that came with the tape. It was a pain in the rear.

All I can say is boxes, boxes and more boxes. Order an obscene amount then order more. That's what I did but it still wasn't enough lol.

 

[TheB00T]

I can help for sure. Also, order those USPS supplies a month or more in advance. The delivery time for those is really inconsistent.

 

[RudysNYC]

Dunno how many NY orders there are, but I'm happy to be the hub for NY if the numbers warrant it.

Order the maximum you can on these. SFRB make great padding and spacers inside LFRB for large orders. They fit perfectly bookending the chips. I used the boxes that China sent me as padding because it's worn out cardboard and it's good cushioning. Saves on buying filler material. Just tear the boxes into the size you need. Had the wife and kids doing that while I stuffed padded flat rate envelopes with chips to go in boxes.

Weve brought up a road trip before.

Obviously dependent on the date once that rolls in, I'm more than happy to accompany and help drive.

Giddy up boys!

We got the shipping quote trying to figure out the right price due to transaction fee crap. Currently 2080!!!!

Quick maths says that's ~3¢ a chip. Unreal!!!

 

[SeanGecko]

That's right!

I think we are really on target for the 30¢ price point I said many years ago.

 

[TheDuke]

So before reship costs we're looking at under 30¢/chip for full customs? That's unreal!

Still working to be accurate here. I am a bit excited but I figure people would still be happy if it was 32¢ all said and done.

 

[SeanGecko]

. Crap double post.

Any figure in that ballpark is simply amazing!

Knowing how things are currently with my employment, I may be off work some over the fall & winter. (assuming we're not seeing these any time soon) I have family in Missouri & Iowa, so I was dead serious when I suggested ROAD TRIP a week or so ago. So I'd say there's probably a 50% chance I will be driving up to pick up mine, @BarrieJ3 and others in Texas. If so, I would be more than willing to bring back and deliver to anyone else close to the route from Omaha to Houston. So that would include Kansas City, Wichita, OK City, and DFW area. Plenty of room in my F-150.

Edit: Possibly St. Louis also.

That would amazing of you! Could definitely help Sean out with a good chunk of orders, and help others save money on second shipping.

By transaction fee, do you mean the tariff? If so, each person simply adds 15% to their chip cost. And yeah, the shipping from china comes in just under 3 cents a chip. Like within a few hundredths of a cent. Round it to 3 cents for each chip you bought and be done with it.
