Group Buy - TRD Rear Lip Spoiler
Hi everyone,
After gauging for potential group buy opportunities in this thread, we ended up with 24 people interested in a TRD Rear Lip Spoiler group buy. With these numbers I went around to see what sort discounts we can get. Ended up talking to Jesse Streeter and he was able to sort us out with a pretty good deal. See details below. Item - TRD Rear Lip Spoiler Colour - White, Black or Unpainted Price: So there will be two different prices depending on your shipping choice (the below is for a painted spoiler, once unpainted pricing is confirmed, I'll update this thread). We're getting a 3% discount with this group buy.
With the combined shipping option, it is up to you guys to organise yourselves into 'groups'. I will however be keeping track of the groups in this post. The reason behind the 3 item requirement is to avoid customs/duties while providing a great discount on shipping. Minimum number of sets required - either 2 individually shipped or at least one group of 3. Based on the gauged interest numbers, it seems likely it will go ahead. DO NOT SEND PAYMENT TO JESSE UNTIL THE MINIMUM REQUIRED SETS HAVE BEEN MET. Risks with combined shipping With the combined shipping option, Jesse will be lowering the declared total value below $1000 to avoid customs duties/taxes. There is however always a risk and customs/duties may still be required. If you are not willing to take the risk, the individual price is still a great deal. Also note that should you also take extra insurance, you will only be covered to the value of what is declared. Shipping information - Shipped via EMS (shipping time 4-6 days) Registration rules: When putting your name down for the group buy, please follow the below steps:
Jesse Streeter contact - any enquiry can be posted here or email directly to Jesse at jesse@jessestreeter.com. Please include "FT86 Group Buy" as reference. Finalising your order: There is no specific deadline from Jesse Streeter, but please see below:
IMPORTANT NOTE - I, this site or Jesse Streeter do not guarantee that the item on offer for this group buy will be legal to use on public road at your state.

eleu2166, thanks for organising.
just a few points about this GB. 1. please enquire with Jesse about lead time. last time i had to wait about 3 weeks and stock availibility might vary depends on colour etc (another Japanese seller quoted September to me on Yahoo Auction Japan). 2. you might want to briefly explain how Jesse calculates exchange rate which flutuates daily (if not every minute) and will effect the final price. i have to say my experience with Jesse Streeter has been positive. As i posted before he made a mistake but he owned up to the error and was very easy to deal with afterwards. He also offered to compensate me for the trouble so i would definitely engage him for future purchase. |

In for unpainted in Brisbane postcode 4061. Prefer combined shipping, but if not enough takers will go individual.
My car on order is Dark Grey but am thinking Carbon Wrap may be the go. |

also forgot to say, Jesse has an aussie bank account for receiving direct deposit so there should be no fee from payment using this method.
and btw, with shipping 3 together, there are potential custom duty,GST and custom brokerage fee implication and the price quotes do not include these extra fees. also you might want to enquire with Jesse about insurance during shipping. i think he arranged it for me for an extra amount. not sure if the above price quote includes this as well.

I have purchased several times from Jesse. Never had a drama. Car parts and also breakable things (bonsai pots). Never had a broken pot!
Happy to buy through Jesse. Prefer combined shipping if possible. Unpainted, which should also bring the price down. |

have also purchased through Jesse on numerous occasions, am I better off just emailing him as per normal? As in, are there actual savings to be made on this group buy or not? If not, ill just order when I get my car.
EDIT: FOR ADELAIDE PEOPLE, I have dealt with Jesse many times and am comfortable in doing so. If 2 people are interested in purchasing this item with me I am happy to arrange combined shipping to me and will distribute the lips when they arrive in Adelaide. PM me for details. |

i'd think going thru Jesse's price is already the lowest so all you are saving is probably postage.
but be careful with duty/GST etc. |

The reason why the combined shipping is limited to 3 spoilers is to keep the total value lower than $1000 to avoid customs duties/taxes (it's a little over $1000, but Jesse will be lowering the declared value).

ie it is not possible to say the value put is $1000 and insured for $1500 under lowering the declaring is also illegal and custom sometimes dont necessarily accept the value shown (i know this because custom has done a check on me, so its first hand experience) but for what jesse is selling. its a very very good price |
