[xpboy]

Nah it's cheaper and faster from NZ. Shipping from the US is much more expensive >.<

Although it might be the way to go if doing a significantly large order. I.e. 30-40 items. Maybe this would work with a lot more cubers. But that's pretty much why Speedstacks AUS closed. If there were more demand...

@Paul - I'd feel a lot more comfortable if everybody involved replied to this thread within the next day or so. Then I'll order it ASAP and hopefully have it before the 20th of November.

Tim.

won't quit
and i don't need a mat.
thank you Tim

I'll get one. Timer no mat. I'll decide whether I'll have it shipped to me or not.

PS. Quick question: Is the Australian Open DEFINITELY going to take place. If yes hows the organizing going? Just needed to make sure because my parents have to buy plane tickets or something.

It's not definite at this stage. It was a proposal and I'm still trying to get more people interested in competing. >.<

Oh ok then. I'll probably come to Melbourne anyway with my parents because we haven't been there before. If the comp doesn't take place. I might come and meet you guys at least.

Invoice (NZD)
Competition Timer 10 34.95 349.50
StackMat - Blue Swoosh 6 17.95 107.70
Postage and Packaging 1 46.50 46.50
Total NZ$503.70

Charged AU$455.76 from my bank account.

Exchange Rate
AU$455.76 / NZ$503.70 = 0.90482430017867778439547349612865
1 New Zealand Dollar = 0.90482430017867778439547349612865 Australian Dollars
Paypal Exchange rate: 1 Australian Dollar = 1.10518 New Zealand Dollars
Verifying: 1/1.10518 = 0.90482998244629834054181219348884
*note: precision may be off due to the bank rounding

Postage
Postage per person (10) = NZ$4.65

I can probably calculate the price based on the weight so that those who bought mats end up being
more (i.e. $5.2+) where those who just bought the timer would pay less (i.e. $3.10+).

Let me know if you'd like me to recalculate the shipping.

Competition Timer (inc. shipping)
(Timer + Shipping) * Exchange Rate
= (NZ$34.95 + NZ$4.65) * 0.90482430017867778439547349612865
= AU$35.831042287075640262060750446669

Competition Timer & StackMat (inc. shipping)
(Timer & Mat + Shipping) * Exchange Rate
= (NZ$34.95 + NZ$17.95 + NZ$4.65) * 0.90482430017867778439547349612865
= AU$52.072638475282906491959499702166

Balancing
(4 * 35.80) + (6 * 52.00) = 455.2
Difference: 455.2 - 455.76 = 0.56
I'm down 56 cents (I don't really care).

I'm pretty sure they come with batteries. They haven't arrived yet. I'll let you know if they arrive tomorrow.
