ok peeps, we need to vote on this delivery stuff
if i go UPS ground and go to Blaine to pickup the package, its going to be about 2% extra of the total charges and we wont get the LEDs until after Christmas Dec 26th.

If i go UPS world wide saver we will get it around the 16-17th and its about 4% extra of the total charges.

Jaws and I would be taking the biggest hit at about $40-50 on each of us if we go the fast route (which I dont mind since i dont have to drive to the US and im still saving a bunch on the LEDs). I can try chatting up the LED lady and see if I can get her to drop the price by 4% but i dont think it will happen.

Fast route cost:
Milad $39.96
Ferret $8.18
ScubaSteve $1.28
Monocus $3.30
Jaws $48.04
elias $16.52
nlreefguy $2.05
mseepman $30.66

Slow route cost:
Milad $19.98
Ferret $4.09
ScubaSteve $0.64
Monocus $1.65
Jaws $24.02
elias $8.26
nlreefguy $1.02
mseepman $15.33

i emailed her already should know by tomorrow.

btw fast route is calculated at 11lb 1foot square box. I wouldnt think LEDs would get any heavier... right?

4lb box was almost half the price.

I'm okay either way...I'm not building the fixture quite yet so I don't need them quickly but I'd love to see some of the other fixtures get started sooner.

alright! we are going to go with the FAST method of shipping!! so you will probably see some LEDs over christmas! who needs to spend time with family when you can build an LED fixture?

two more days until we close the group buy! some people still need to send me some $$!
