Group buy tube stakes - CANCELLED

[Whiteburn]

I will take six if still time.

No problem I'll hang off placing a 2nd order until tomorrow.
If more folk come out of the woodwork I'll make a 3rd order, if not there'll be no issue with adding another 6 to #2.

 

[Helen E]

If we get to another order, please count me in for six - thank you!

 

[craige]

Whiteburn getting all the steaks! If you want payment now let me/us know.

 

[Balagan]

Aren't these sold by ULOG fo £22.99 with free UK and EU delivery? It's confusing because there are only 4 pegs on the photo but the description is clear that there are 6.

No they are the shorter 6" stakes & 2 guylines = 6 pieces.

 

[Henry]

I’m in too.

Can’t believe I missed the first round!

Sure about that?
From https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.c...ccessories-c33/6pc-guyline-and-peg-set-p10915,
"Weight of complete set: 108g"
"6pc reflective 2mm spectra guy lines and 6pc 20cm Tube Steak pegs."

They have the 4 piece 6" set for £15.99, 78g
"4 x reflective 2mm spectra guy lines and 4pc 15cm Tube Steak pegs"

 

[Balagan]

No they are the shorter 6" stakes & 2 guylines = 6 pieces.

Says "6pc reflective 2mm spectra guy lines and 6pc 20cm Tube Steak pegs" and "Pegs/Stakes Quantity: 6 Length: 20cm" in the description...

Edit: Gadget beat me to it.

 

[Whiteburn]

Picture & text are contradictory, the picture shows 4 * 6" pegs
Bigsky has a 6 piece set (6 guys + 6 * 20cm stakes) on their website but cost is $37 + shipping + taxes

Bit of lazy web design going on there!
Still, group buy is still cheaper (I checked your maths)... unless you value 10m of spectra and some cord adjusters.

 

[Arne L.]

Thanks for all the effort. Let me know when & how I can pay!

 

[Whiteburn]

So far for batch #3 I have requests from the following:
@Ally
@Helen E
@Henry
Still a few sets short of where its economical to put in an order so I'll hang on a few days & see if latecomers turn up.

 

[Robert P]

Thanks for the effort. Please count me in for 6 if you can reach the necessary number

In terms of payment I'll hang on until I've sorted out the customs, mail cost & have the goods in my hands; I think it may be easiest solution (for me) with 20+ payments to manage will be to just send out Paypal invoices.

 

[craige]

You can create your own pay page which will be paypal.me/yourcreatedname and have people PM with their name and address upon payment. Dunno if that would make things easier for you?

I'll have a look at it, I'm all for an easy life but I'm a tech dinosaur.

You might want to check the most effective way of ordering. Paying for three lots of shipping may work out more expensive than paying import duty on one, larger order. Check my figures,

compared to

 

[Whiteburn]

My understanding is that >£135 import duty at 12% applies THEN add 20% VAT = ~34% uplift + £8 RM fee.
Cost may be equal or cross over at some quantity but that's water under the bridge now & any difference for the quantities involved is likely to be pennies.

 

[dribelad]

I'm needing half a dozen long stakes & like others have found they're a rare beast outside of the US & shipping + VAT + RM fee make buying 6 really expensive.
I found the 20cm Bigsky tube stakes, I was a bit sceptical about them not heard of them before but they get a good Review from Sectionhiker & seem fairly commonly used across the pond. The Bigsky's are slightly lighter than the Eastons & 2cm shorter than the golds but the way the heads/ cord loop is attached means that the heads are much less likely to be pulled off, a feature I like having had 2 Eastons come off.
I looked at the purchase of 48 from the US (cost below 12% duty threshold), the cost for 6 would be ~£20 including delivery within the UK.
Anyone interested??

Count me in for the second round

 

[Enzo]

Yup count me in too.

 

[DuneElliot]

I'd be interested in round 3 if you need another invester...if you've already got enough then I'm not worried

 

[Warrenbond]

I'll take 6 to make the numbers up if needed thanks

 

[The Cumbrian]

I'll take 6 if possible too please.

 

[Whiteburn]

For batch #3 I have requests from the following:

@Ally
@Helen E
@Henry
@Robert P
@dribelad
@Enzo
@Warrenbond
@The Cumbrian

Quantity is good for an order but I could accommodate another set.
