Canvassing for Anderson Stand group buy

[Navigator]

OK, I just voted to get one too. I take it that most of the stands would go to the U.S. That would be very good of you to receive them all and pay for them but consider that you'll also have to find packaging for them to reship. I assume they would all come together, dismantled in one huge crate.

Repackaging wouldn't be an issue for me, I can get packaging material for free thru work, we scrap a containerload of cardboard a week.
Problem is if I reship to the US most likely you'll have to pay duties on it not to mention that Canada Post is more expensive then USPS.

I'll let the poll run for another few days and I'll take a decision as to what the best option is.

I don't think there will be any duties bringing it into the U.S.. I am now wondering if there will be also be any upon entry to Canada from Australia. My Canadian buddy from BC was just here and was filling out his duty forms at the house prior to departure. There was no import tax on motorcycle parts, so I'll bet it works both ways. He didn't understand it but that's what the form said. What I don't know is if it was just for items brought in from the U.S. or would also extend to Commonwealth countries. Mike

Looks like about $25 in materials and two hours in the shop. I think I'll build one.

PLease cast in your votes....

I'm also working on a second option, I'll let you know in a few days if it works out or not

Seems like I can't get enough interest in this.

I'm working on building something to use a regular jack instead, much cheaper, already found a welder willing to help so It's just a matter of design getting the materials and make a prototype.

I'll keep you all posted.
