Ouch, just went to the USPS site and discovered the minimum postage for a 1 ounce package is $2.54. The padded envelopes will have to mailed using the package rate because of the bulk and we have to add $0.50 for the durn envelope.
Bear with me as I'm thinking and calculating as I type..
My ~680 sq/in Latency has 5 hinges on each flap and 3 on each side of the elevator. I double up the hinges at the flap tips as every hinge failure I have seen was at the flap tip. This makes a total of 16 hinges for what I would say is the minimum number for a typical stunt ship. Lets increase the quantity for each package by one.
Also found a package of 100 that still had the price I paid, $0.20 each, I believe it's well worth a nickle to count, package and ship the hinges.
All of this boils down to.....
16 hinge package for $4.00 with a starting order max of three(3) to stretch the stash as far as possible.
Shipping will be $3.00 for anything up to and including order max.
1 pack would be $4.00 + $3.00 = $7.00.
2 packs would be 2 X $4.00 + $3.00 = $11.00.
3 packs would be 3 X $4.00 + $3.00 = $15.00.
This is USA only, sorry but just not worth the hassle of shipping outside the US.
If I have any hinges left over after the initial orders I will let everyone know and be open for re-orders.
Guess the right thing to do is once I have the labels and envelopes in hand is to place an add in the classified section with order details.
Probably will be requesting email with shipping address plus mailing a check.
For those that have already responded, sorry for having to change the game mid stream and hope you understand my initial numbers were mostly guesses.
Please wait until I have everything ready and follow the instructions I will post in the classified section. Shouldn't be more than a few days.
Thanks
Bob
