    GGW x2 = 45 x 2 = 90usd
    815 x 54 = 5 x 54 = 270usd
    803t x10 = 5.5 x 10 = 55usd

    Thanks for doing this.. by the way, have yo locked in that 946nm line yet? Every time I see your sig I think that must be one slow modelocker.

    No its just thaa real pain to max out te 946nm line.....so much competition at the third level in the Yag. I will address it soon.......right now I have another one beating me....the diode tec comes up to power to do it's job and the crystal tec goes cold after thresholding at 28.6 C. Go figure....bad LM358. New one on me for a CNI....

    my apologies, work, vacation and other crap got to me. Do you need money to cover the shipping since everyone was expecting to pay one price and is probably another now.

    Question USGB so far..........

    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.

    funds rcd. total with fees
    Mecheng3 > Paid 125 1100g 144.34
    LPC-815 -22 pcs

    DrLava > Paid 62.61 500g 69.34
    LPC-815 10 pcs


    It has been a long day of looking over numbers...stress load factors....etc. Here is what I feel was a fair fee structure based on weight as Andy has charged his customers for shipping. As you can see a couple of bucks here and there.....Please let me know how you would like them sent to you from me....as shipping estimates were almost double what was expected for the overseas trip. Please let me know errors and the likes...
    Thanks...Mike

    just to try help on this one

    815 and t803 comes in sleds and the sleds weigh 50g.

    the ggw and aw21 do not come in sleds, but will need to be packaged in some way. so i added 50g for one of these diodes no matter how many someone ordered. probably not the most accurate way but it just made my life a million times easier.

    padded envelopes weigh someone like 25-30g i think.

    The difference has been sent thanks again! uggh so I paid the difference for nothing, give my excess to even out the rest of the shipping as in mophead below noted (this post was edited after the second adjustment).
