Re: [DML] Extended convex mirrors

The shipping of more than one set is so expensive that it just makes no 
sense. To ship 10 sets in one box I would have to pay over $150 for the slow 
sea shipment - 6 weeks delivery time. So, I don't really have much choice 
here. The way I ship it now takes 6 DAYS to deliver. There is no tracking 
like UPS does, but this is registered and numbered mail. OK, I cannot go to 
a website to check where the package is, but I can go to my post office and 
they can tell me exactly what happened to it and when. So there IS tracking 
available. It's just a bit more complicated to track the shipment and takes 
more time.
Another thing is that I'm not making enough money on those mirrors to grant 
any real discounts. For the time and trouble that went into this whole 
thing.....
The problem is that I live half a world away from most people that own a 
DeLorean. But, I didn't choose where I will be born :) And the DeLorean... 
its like a serious illness, once you catch it, there is no cure :)

Take care
