freight costs oilsump
Hi guys,
the cost for freight for one package from 10 up to 20 kg to the US is 82 Euro. A package with 5 to 10 kg costs 52 Euro.
One oilsump weighs about a little more than 5 kg. So you can only put 1 sump in the small package which costs 52 Euro.
But you can put 3 in one big package up to 20 kg which will cost 82 Euro. This means that the freight costs for one sump in a 3-pieces unit is 27,30 Euro. So itīs 25 Euro cheaper per sump as if you buy single. Donīt know what freight costs for a single unit in the US is, but I think that it must be much cheaper than 25 Euro. Here in Germany we pay between 5 and 7 Euro for such a package.
The oil pick up tube has indeed to be shortened, as the sump is 5 cm less in height than the original one. Itīs a quite easy job to do and I think everyone who is planning to do such a conversion will easily manage this.
So think it over and arrange group buy of each package with three sumps. That would be the cheapest way to get the sumps I think. I donīt mind sending single units with one sump inside, but itīs more expensive.
Cheers Martin
