Even though DelicaWorks’ website is temporarily down bc of covid you can still order parts through the DreamWorks Facebook page. The problem is shipping is outrageous and doesn’t make sense to order unless you do bulk. Not looking to do it right this moment, but wanted to put a feeler out to see if anyone else in the south (particularly ga) would be into a group buy?
 
I would SERIOUSLY avoid doing any shipping from Asia right now. The shipping rates are insane. When I did the previous SoCal group buy, the shipping costs were

DescriptionSub Total
Shipping$650.00
Customs entry$120.00
Duty$192.13
Customs Fee:
Harbor Maintenance Fee$9.61
Merchandise Processing Fee$26.62
Single Entry Bond$75.00
ISF$25.00
ISF Bond$170.00
Handling$65.00
US Local Charge
Pier Pass$10.00
Clean Truck$8.00
Chassis Fee$10.00
Chassis Split$10.00
Warehouse Fee$145.00
Trucking$350.00
Bank Fees$25.00
Wire Transfer Cost$25.00
Total$1,916.35

That was for 55.00 kg of items on a pallet (but it was between 1-2 cubic meters, so it cost more) shipped to San Diego, CA.

So, the container/ship shipping cost for that was $650, now they are quoting 2-4x that amount!!!!

Damn! Well on that note... anyone interested in a far more distant future order, let me know. Thanks for the enlightenment. I just got some side vents and window gaskets from DreamWorks in last week. It too was outrageous. They encouraged a group buy to knock down shipping some, but were very up front in letting me know it’s way higher than usual. Looking to get the side dump exhaust, but given the weight I’ll hold off until things chill out!
 
As mentioned in the other thread, we're doing a whole container from Taiwan, so I would suggest listing anything you want in the other thread!
