Yes Andre - good point.

I read Dario's Table wrong - I did not realize that it was Total, I thought
it was for postage costs only.

I just relooked. It seems that for an order of 15 rolled posters to the
U.S., the cost to Dario is $3.00 each, $45.00 total. Shipping in the U.S. is
$3.85 for one or two or three, so U.S. delivered price should be:

1= $6.85
2= $9.85
3= $12.85

The price may be lightly higher if the number of orders is not evenly
divided by 15, but the above is approximately right. Figure $7, $10, and $13
as the max price for 1, 2, or 3 respectively.

Let me know how many you want, I'll get them from Dario and we'll go on from
there. If the volume is too great, Bob S. has also offered to do this, and
I'll offload some of this project on to him if need be.

Again, send to me off list:

Name
Address
How many posters

A PDML member from Poland just made me re-check the total amounts I asked,
so that I discovered a few of them were wrong (some were missing the tube
cost, while others were missing the postage!). So please also re-check your
costs before you'll pay me:

Just an observation: Dario can ship a rolled poster to US for 8 US $ 
(to AOHC and PDML members).  And here we talk about $9 to $10.50 per

I would be willing to be a U.S. distribution point. I figured, based on
Dario's figures, assuming the he was sending 20 at a time to the U.S., and
assuming $3.60 for USPS Priority, that it would come to about  $9.00 to
$10.00 per poster.

BUT, this doesn't allow for a cost to buy mailing tubes ($1.00?) or for the
fact that USPS Priority is now $3.80.  So, between $9.50 and $10.50 or so. I
can refine this once I have the exact number of people who are committed t
buying a specific number of posters.

Those who want me to "deal" for them, send me (Off List!)
Name
Address
email address
Number of posters
Upper limit on cost.
(With fewer posters, the price will be higher due to having fewer items
across which to amortize the mailing cost from Italy. So, at what price
point would this all get too high for you?)

I'll be traveling this week, and then on vacation 27 July through 11 August,
but I don't believe that will interfere with this project.

Again - contact me OFF list. I have a filter that routes PDML mail into a
seperate file; if I get too behind, like when I travel, I sometimes just
dump the whole file. Messages sent to me direct go into my standard InBox
which I do read.

Just add a small post-it :-)

I thought about that, and I'm quite convinced it could happen next September
at Photokina, but since 50 years anniversary was last May... at that time
the poster was OK (and still is).

2002-07-12 Thread frank theriault

Hi, Wendy,

It makes sense to have one shipment come into the country for any Canadians who
want one, then have them mailed to various points of the country from whomever
receives them.  That would no doubt be cheaper than having them shipped
individually from Italy.

I'm guessing that the comment was made about the "Toronto gang" since we
wouldn't have to re-ship them, being that we get together on a semi-regular
basis.

regards,
frank

What happens if Pentax releases a new SLR during this year?  Will you 
update the poster? :)

Seriously, I may be interested in one of these.  I assume the price to

About the "1952-2002 - 50 years of Pentax SLR cameras" poster

2002-07-11 Thread Dario Bonazza 2

Hello friends,

This is a strange period of my life, where I resigned from my work after
twenty years, and now I'm trying to setup my own business. Maybe you'll
undertand I'm pretty puzzled and busy now.

Ok, this said, here are the news about the "1952-2002 - 50 years of Pentax
SLR cameras" poster.

First, for those among you which are also AOHC members, please note that all
AOHC members will receive one poster for free, shipped together with
Spotmatic magazine No.33 next August (sorry, it will be shipped folded in
envelope). Extra copies can be ordered at $2.00 each (AOHC members) or $4.00
each (non-members), plus package and postage.

However, during this year 2002 celebrating such an important anniversary,
I'll be happy to extend to all PDML members the reduced cost per poster
($2.00 each). Then non-members will pay $4.00 each poster.

I checked the cost of carton tubes and postage for shipping it worldwide
from Italy (priority mail). For the full details following the link:
http://digilander.libero.it/pentaxday/postere.htm

Unfortunately, as you can see the postage for such a large and heavy poster
is also heavy.
Some time ago, somebody thought it could better to ship a bunch to some
PDML'er in N. America for distribution there, rather than many separate
posters being airmailed from Italy. What do you think now?
