Carcassonne maps: Taiwan

[gabrielgeek]

Thank you for this opportunity. How should we proceed with the payment?

[Meepledrone]

We have to wait for the quotation before talking about money.

I just got word from Swan Panasia about the 2nd bulk order to Europe:

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 500 TWD/Map + 4,700 TWD for shipping) = 23,200 TWD.

Assuming 1 TWD = 0,03184 EUR

The 37 maps delivered to Germany would cost: (37 * 15.92 EUR/Map + 149,65 EUR for shipping) = 768,69 EUR. Each map would be 20,78 EUR including shipping, but I would consider an extra 1 EUR due to currency conversion, as it was the case for the previous bulk oder.

On top of this, you will have to add:
* Customs Duties (if any - it was 6,59 EUR for Spain since the box was marked as non dutieable). Do we know if this is the same for Germany?
* Shipping to each country hub and final reciepient. This could be around 15 EUR (as far as I understood to Konrad2605) + additional cardboard boxes/tubes + final delivery if necessary. Please Konrad2605, correct me if I'm wrong.

We would need to confirm if you all agree about the costs.

Once we know everyone is onboard, we would nned to collect the money up front to cover Swan Panasia costs + ~5 EUR per map for possible extra costs = 26 EUR/map.

Wehn Konrad2605 has received the money, he would pay Swan Panasia and the maps would be shipped to him. Once he receives them, he would need to add have to reorganize the maps in separate shippings and get extra boxes as required for the new shippings. He would also get an estimation of the shipping costs to each country, send the packages and collect the money difference from each recipient. These recipients would manage the domestic distribution as required (additional shipping vs. delivery in hand and possible celebratory game... you name it ).

I don't know if all this detail is necessary at this point, but I just want to let you know all the intermediate steps required.

Any thoughts?

I don't know if there are customs fees.
But there is import VAT I assume 7% since they are cards.
Value of goods approx. 800 €+ customs duty (0%) 0€ + import tax (7%) 59,52€ = total 859,52 /37 Maps = 23,23€ /Map
Value of goods ca 800 €+ customs (7%) 56€ + import tax (7%) 59,52€ = total 915,52 /37 Maps = 24,74€ /Map
That's how I calculated it, but maybe someone knows better.
Otherwise we have to wait for the shipment.

Carton costs about 2€/stk
Shipping costs uninsured up to 2 kg 9,00€ insured 14€.
If the weight of several maps is over 5Kg then 16€ (Finland, Poland, Italy?)

[Geert De Vylder]

I agree for the costs.

[The-Edge]

Me too

[gabrielgeek]

[supertopix]

Thanks. Ok for me. How can I pay? Is Paypal a viable option? Will we receive a PM from the guy in charge?

[totor66]

same, I'm ok

[Den Ozzy]

I'm ok as well 

[ma_Rysia]

I am ok as well.
Just to clarify, I will paid the shipping cost to Poland for all maps, and then manage it internally (split the inbound shipping + internal shipping)?

From the top of my head:
* 1 map in an A1 trapezoid cardboard box weighted less than 400 gr.
* 6 maps in an A1 cardboard tube weighted less than 1.3 Kg.

konrad2605 should answer this question.

We used Paypal but some people used a money transfer.

The payment to Swan Panasia is made by credit card.

[Meepledrone]

I am ok as well.
Just to clarify, I will paid the shipping cost to Poland for all maps, and then manage it internally (split the inbound shipping + internal shipping)?

For the first bulk order, everyone sent the money directly to me: a part for Swan Panasia and an extra amount for Customs and shipping.

Then I returned or collected some money according to the final total cost including the shipping to the hubs. Each hub person would then collect some extra money for the final shipping as needed.

If you collect all the money for Poland, you could set some money apart for the domestic shipping and make one payment to konrad2605.

Any option can work as you see fit.
