BTW,just for fun, I just received a message from one of my other suppliers, detailing what I need to do to get the minimum order quantity to make 45% IACS Beryllium Copper custom springs.
It was really funny to see.
Basically, I would need to order 65 000 springs. Not 6500 springs. 65000 SPRINGS. Lol
So, I think I am going to stick with my main supplier for this group buy.
Unless some of you guys and gals want to order 1000 springs each
Have you asked for a Sample from this manufacturer? Not necessarily in the exact size but it would be smart to test one ahead of time for quality if possible
Just something they already have in stock of the same material if possible to see the plating, finishing, test resistance and stuff. Make sure it sits nice and flat and has a good top with bounce.
@tatasal, this is only an interest list. If there is enough demand and the samples I will order are good and very low resistance, I will buy the complete 1000pcs and ship them to everybody.
No the prices do not include shipping. The max INTERNATIONAL shipping price should be at max 8$, and probably lower, as that is only an estimate. I will try to find a way to make shipping as inexpensive as possible however.
My goal is not to make a profit, but get the best springs possible to everyone. Even if I have to pay a bit of the shipping fees out of my pocket.
@contactcr, I have asked for 10pcs of the Beryllium springs for 20% of the price we have agreed on. If everything goes well, then the group buy will begin, and not the interest list only :laughing:
