Even paying USPS Express for an US Seller would be lower ^^

I'm in Italy, and still have a pair of them

Can you press them in an Aixiz?? because i cant :S

No problems, i built my own presstool times ago ..... not so elegant, cause i don't have a lathe, so i used a drill and a file , but it work



And i have a lot of aixiz modules too, but don't have extra glass lenses, so i can press it in the aixiz, but the lens is the standard acrylic one, you need to get the glass one somewhere.

This wouldn't be the problem, as lenses are tiny, i could get them fast even from US (normal letter)

Whats the Price?

I am actually selling them around 42 Euro, pressed in aixiz modules, plus shipping, that can be around 3 Euro for standard mail.

I checked, and i still have 3 of them that i can sell.

Sounds good. will check with a mate cuz he maybe wants one too

Could you check insured mail cost please?

Done.

Postal office site say me that standard mail can be from 3 to 4 Euro, tracked (raccomandata) from 8 to 9 Euro, and insured until 250 Euro value, from 11 to 12 Euro, depending from the total weight of the envelope.

Once they made me pay more, cause "the pc was broken and the value was estimated" ..... but usually the shipping costs are these ones .....

estimated value... lol. yeah i hear lots of bad things about italy post

Naah, are all lies ..... the reality is much, MUCH worse .....

Like a quote from an US guy with family in Italy?
"A package from the US will get to a remote hill station in India almost three times faster than to Rome."

...if my mate jumps in for the other one, then we share the 11-12€

I've had some from HIMNL9 and they were extremely well packed and arrived in good time to the UK but posting to another Italian member from here took a good while, so it seems the trouble may be getting IN to Italy but getting OUT seems fine!

Also ..... not only they get it three times faster, they also probably get it much less mangled

No problems, just let me know when you need them

True ..... getting packages from outside Italy is a half nightmare, sometimes ..... especially from east countries or "freeports" like HongKong ..... customs offices always delay my incoming packages without any valid reasons, sometimes for weeks, they opens half of them, questioning and arguing about content and value declarations, continuously asking me for documents, "declarations of private usage" and invoices / bills or proofs of purchase ..... and, sometimes, packages just never arrives, and none know nothing about them (the international tracking says always "arrived in Italian custom office in date xxxxx", but then the packages vanishes, and nor the custom offices nor the postal service knows nothing about them ..... i already lost more than 400$, in this way :wtf

At least, i'm glad to see that shipping from here to outside, is not so bad ..... other countries must have customs offices more organized (and, maybe, customs offices employees more "honests" and with less "sticky fingers" )

Do you want me to post you out some set rat traps HIMNL9? :crackup:

That might sting those sticky fingers!
