    Need some clarification.

    -So if you're in, and the group buy doesn't reach $4k in skid sales, you're stuck paying full retail with fed ex shipping, and no discount whatsoever?
    - This buy is for skids only?

    Thanks in advance

    If you don't hit $4k, I will offer 25% off and you will cover shipping.

    So $4k, full retail and free shipping. Is that still fed ex ground individualized or would that be a combined palet?

    The more that jump in, the cheaper the shipping will be per person. I will take the shipping cost and divide it over the number of skid plates in the crate. Then each person will pay their share, so if you buy 1 skid you aren't paying the same amount to ship as the person that bought 3. This is the best way to do it to keep it fair.

    The GB will go in a large crate to a shipping terminal on the island.

    Each skid will be boxed with an order number and last name. I will need a volunteer to pick up the crate and hold it at their place for others to come by and get their order. I build the crates with screws so you can pop off the sides and take the boxes out.

    If I sent one set by FedEx it is $450...

    But if I send a bunch of sets by crate, it is very cheap relatively.

    I send crates of sliders often, usually I do 5 sets per crate and one crate is around $1000. To send one set is $450. The more I can send in one crate, the less per person it'll cost.

    How stuff is shipped to Hawaii is it gets air freighted from me to California, then on a container on a boat to Hawaii. Container shipments are based off density, so the smaller/heavier the cheaper it is. The bigger/lighter the more it is. This is the one time it helps that all our stuff is heavy haha

    So I take it this only applies to Oahu, not Neighbor Islands? I'm on the Big Island.

    Has anyone been selected yet as holding the skid plates at their house? It may be a while before I am able to pick it up as I'm on a neighbor island, should I decide to order.

    Please add me in for a transfer case, steel, powdercoated, stock exhaust (no exhaust reroute) skid.

    Would shipping be cheaper if delivered to a shop vice a residential address?
