At under $10 a piece for a wah enclosure, that might be worth a group buy.  I bet you could get a bunch of people willing to buy a few of them.  Shipping cost could be an issue, though.

Let me do some math and check what I can do fund wise on my end...lets try and get a big buy together.
I also now have one of the best paint shops in Texas doing my printing and painting, over 3500 colors to choose from so I can probably set all you up way cheaper than PPP for this, and way higher quality.

Rupert Neve had his stuff done here.

Give me a week or 2 to figure this all out.

That's a lot of freakin enclosures.  At that price I might be able to do orders of raw enclosures 10 at a time, small beans.

Yeah, I'd be in for a few wah shells.  And probably some 125Bs/1590BBs if we were getting those.

Who ever is going to do this group buy be warned, you'll need a broker which will cost $$$ to import
also you'll need to pay customs and duties depending on the dollar amount along with the shipping costs.
So, this will add to the cost.

Smaller quantity stuff I ship DHL all is included, fed ex adds customs and duties after delivery

I got stuck already with a high cost I didn't expect. I got a great price on a part but with shipping
brokerage fees and customs turned out to be way to much.

Bottom line, do your research

Yea I just realized this after an email today.

going to be too much of a headache on my end for the time Id need to wait, on top of broker cost, shipping, customs and VAT.
