Insurance requires the shipper to make the claim, more burden placed on the person running the group buy. If you ever participate in hosting a group buy you have to minimize the thinks that can go wrong. You would be surprised after going to all the work to host a group buy at no personal profit how many people expect you to absorb the cost of some unforeseen expense.

Thanks, Blues -- looks like the best play is Western Union, which someone said was $20 <sigh>

As it is usually case, I just find out about this GB. Is it still open for the late bloomers such as myself? Please let me know.

Hi Vladimir

I have 4 matched fets on the list, you are welcome to these if Magura will swap your details onto them. I'm going to find it difficult to make the buy if Paypal is not an option so I could drop out without affecting the numbers.

Regards

Ed

I can appreciate Magura stance on this, I sold some tubes to a person in Spain, he refused insurance and I packed them extra carefully. When they arrived one was broken he filed a grievance with PayPal and they refunded him the money and basically shafted me. I was quite nervous when I shipped Teres bearings overseas that the same thing would happen, who needs the stress when you are already putting yourself out for other people.

This is the issue in a nutshell.

Exactly this has happened to me before, and considering the amounts involved in this, I am not going to take any chances.

This should be understandable.


Magura 🙂

Dear Magura,

Another matter: Any other SINGAPORE buyer want to pair up with me? Citibank charges me S$30 net for the wiring, which we can share. Plus I can get SGD->USD conversion at just 1% above medium trading rate. I can pay Magura first, when he confirmed receiving then you transfer me the S$.

Hello Zhoufang,

Thanks for the offer. I have just PM you.

It is certainly understandable, but the arrangements are problematic for many people in the USA, so it somewhat defeats the purpose at least from my perspective. I have tried to execute this transfer at both of the financial institutions I do business with and failed with both.

Thanks for putting this together, but I guess I am going to have to wait for a regional group buy.

Hi Magura,

I'm so sorry that I have to cancel my jointed groupbuy. My bank just doesn't understand and would not let me wire money to you. They need actual evidence that I have bought something from you. It's very frustrating for me and I don't know how I can send money to you now.

I'm extremely sorry.

Wachara C.

The first person has messed up already.

I can't see whom is is from here, as I won't get the print out of the account till a couple of days after the transfer, but I have received one transfer of 874DKK (approx 186us$) instead of 200us$.

Now PLEASE, make sure this works out, as this will turn very expensive for those whom mess up.

When making a bank transfer, you have to state that you pay for the full cost of the transfer, not shared cost, or receiver pays.

Magura,

I went to the bank today to send money to you. I can include the fee that my bank charges, but they tell me they are unable to determine what fees, if any, your bank may charge. Please let me know what fee your bank charges for this transfer, if any. I will send the money tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks
Jim

Hi Jim,

Your bank sure can do that for you, but how they do it in Canada, I don't know.

Could some of those whom already have sorted this with their bank, please post how they did it?

I am unable to help you here, as this is not an issue around here, so I have no experience with it. All I can tell is that quite a few have sorted it out by now.


Magura 🙂

Because some of us have problems: I you do an online bank transfer, you simply have to state, that THE SENDER takes over all fees. Normally, you just have to mark a clickbox. A problem can be unsupported characters. Just replace them by similar latin characters.

My bank asks wheter wire transfer costs should be half/half or completely on one side. If you don't specify it is half/half by default. dunno in your case.
