Roushon,

I don't mind sending you the parts, but I wonder if it would be cheaper for you to get them direct from APexJr.

I will find out the cost for UK-India shipping at the weekend and let you know.

Thanks Richie. I just wrote to Apex Jr and I expect a reply soon. Then I will tell you my final decision.
 
reply from Apex Jr

Hi Richie,
I received reply from Apex Jr and YES it is cheaper for me to get the things directly from Apex Jr. Thank you very much for pointing out this possibility. On the other hand now that I am dropping out you have to make the whole calculation again and you guys have to pay little more now. Feeling a bit bad, that I should have enquired it before.

Regards.
 
hey bud, good to get back online again, i see that the parts are ordered, i asume that means you got the payment???? paypall confirmed that it went out, but as ive been ofline, i havent had chance to get intouch with you. see you later bud, steve.. ..
 
oh well, what is one more day? great to hear that all is well, look forward to getting my hands on the bits.

did you have enough to cover all the expenses? not that im checking up, but will you post up how much you donate to the forum?

ive almost got a board ready, single sided, similar to the one thats gone up recently. no files yet, coz where im lookin at getting them done he wants transparency art work. he is cheep though, he says bout £35 for 10, depending on how many and the final board size/etch area.

c you soon bud, steve.. ..
 
I have just got back from the Post Office. You should receive your stuff in the normal post tomorrow or Wednesday.

As for the costs, I will have to see how much I get charged on my credit card (to see the $/£ conversion) before I can work things out properly. I was about spot on with the UK postage calculation (about £2 up), but I got an £8 VAT handling fee from Parcel Force, which I didn't expect, so I think I may well be down a bit 🙁
