Thanks Andy for getting this under way and almost over !!
Below is a copy of the updated post.....amended showing balances to priority mail flat rate fee of 4.95 only.
There members that are under/over funded for getting the diodes to here and flat rate shiping to them. Mophead has been generous with his overpayment and willing to share....provided he only wants the flat rate... If a couple of others don't mind a 1 and a few cents to apply to help others it would be great... USPS Priority mail shipping at 4.95 flat rate box ...This will enable others with small shortages to get under way with flat rate postage..... if he/others wants insurance and delivery confirmation this will reflect in an additional cost. Please PM me with your addy to mail this stuff to....I have boxes on hand and will get it out ASAP...expected icing conditions today and for next week... DrLava if you could send me a 10 spot I will go and mail yours as well......other than that, if the above applies and simple flat rate USPS Priority boxing is good, the diodes will be packaged up and go out. Please let me know your thoughts...... BTW......insurance from USPS website up to $100 coverage is 2.25 and delivery conf. is average of .75....
Andy has informed he thinks that the order has been filled and shipped from the vendor.
The shipping from Andy to the US has cost $76.37 insured Airsure.
I have calculated the overseas shipping to a weight based fee.
So I have set out as Andy and calculated 50g for the BR diodes{no matter how many were ordered} and 50g for each 815 sled for each member.
Our parcel is $76.37 for a 3050g parcel. This comes down to $1.25 per/ 50 gr.
Paypal fees shared by all involved to send funds to vendor is $4.54 each member
Paypal fees to send funds to Andy from me $20.78 or $2.30 each member
So a total of $6.84 each member is shared for total shipping and fees to get the parcel into the US minus the weight based fee from above.
SF-AW210 Blu-ray diode USD25 each
not 100% sure of this diodes power due to recent issues with them but somewhere around 150mw.
GGW-20L: USD45 each
never tested one of these but everyone says 200-250mw each
PHR-803T: USD5.5 each
max power of 100mw
LPC815: USD5
comes as a full sled, so you get a coated mirror for the diode. this is an open can red diode which is good for 250mw in a heat sink.

I have eaten some of the shipping and no charge for time involved. I think we have saved a small amount but shipping killed the joy. Lets get something built...already started machining parts ....
