    I'm pretty much running the show on this side of 'the pond'. My plan is to pretty much split the total cost of importing the pallet (including any import/customs taxes). I'm planning on doing this based upon volume (since the weight is not an issue as far as I know).

    I'm still talking with Jon about the specifics of the transportation of the items. Everything will be boxed up and then shink-wrapped to the pallet. My goal is to have it imported to the Port of Portland, although exactly where is something that I still need to find out. Once I get all of the specifics about the size of the pallet and the declared value of the items on it, I'll make some calls and find out what sort of duties we're looking at, and I'll also inquire whether or not there will be fees to the dockworkers union. I'm sure Jon can find out a lot of information from the company that is shipping the pallet. So pretty much every one will pay Jon for the items and the initial shipping costs (my preference is through PayPal). And then every one will pay their share of the customs taxes to who ever is going to receive/pick-up the pallet (hopefully more than one of us will be able to do that.)

    As far as the time it'll take, Jon said that it could take up to thirty days to reach Portland from the UK. Which isn't unreasonable considering the ship will have to go through the Panama Canal. I'd like to get it shipped out in about two weeks, so that it'll arrive when all of us college kids are on spring break.

    That's about all the information I have at this point.

      Sounds as you have got it fairly well organised. I hope all goes well.

          How much would a set of euro clear ellipsoids run, I could even come down and pick them up sometime? I wouldn't mind used if they are in great shape.

              Im just wanting to let people know that the deal isn't dead, especially those that I have on my list. Jon just emailed me and said that he's been really ill for the past few days so it's been slowing him down. He told me to expect an email in the next few days with all of the details of the shipment. He also said that he'd be able to ship it out within two weeks.

                      I am also interested in a grey reay sun shade. Or any sunshade as long as the shade is grey and mint without big holes cut from aftermarket speakers.
                      Thanks

                            Hey everyone. Jon emailed me this picture with some items.
                            The early front valence and the front chrome bumper are up for grabs.


                            Also,
                            Can every one that is getting something on the pallet either PM or email me the items you're getting? I have a list, but I just want to make sure that I've got the items right and that I'm not forgetting anybody. Jon is going to give me a list too. Hopefully we'll get this finalized this week and get it shipped out.

                                Valence too?

                                If you do actually get it, just realize that there will be domestic shipping charges from Portland, OR. The bumper shouldn't be too expensive if it's shipped fedex ground.
