Alright, here's the current numbers:
Black - 120/100
Beige - 73/100
Magenta - 18/100
At this point, I'll go ahead and confirm that I'll bump beige to MOQ since it's reasonably close, and I feel that the uncertainty might be holding some people back who would otherwise be interested. I'll also state that magenta is not going to hit MOQ, so please don't submit more orders for it.
Moving onto the proxying situation. At the moment I'm working on going over the number of orders per region(Canada, EU, Asia, Australia) and evaluating the the price efficiency of bulk shipping those. Right now it's approximately $23 to anywhere outside of NA for a single cable going up to around $34 for 4(the largest quantity I've received in an Intl order). Here's some breakdowns for the regions:
Canada - 8 orders with 13 total cables.
Shipping individually:
- Single - ~$16
- Two - ~$16
- Three - ~$25
Shipping combined:
- ~$4.64 per cable + proxy shipping cost.
EU - 13 orders with 24 total cables.
Individual shipping:
- Single - ~$23
- Two - ~$23
- Three - ~$34
Shipping combined:
- ~$3.85 per cable + proxy shipping cost.
Asia - 10 orders with 20 total cables.
Individual shipping:
- Single - ~$23
- Two - ~$23
- Three - ~$33.5
- Four - ~$33.5
Shipping combined:
- ~$4.95 per cable + proxy cost.
Australia - 3 orders with 10 total cables.
Individual shipping:
- Three - ~$34
- Four - ~$34
Combined shipping:
- ~$7.6 per cable + proxy cost.
I don't know anything about domestic shipping costs in other countries, but looking at the numbers it looks like the proxying route is the most cost efficient for all regions. I should be able to find a proxy easily for Canada/EU/Australia, but I am concerned about finding one for Asia since I don't really know anyone other than zFrontier, and something like this isn't really what they usually deal with. If anyone has any suggestions for proxies I'm listening.
