Hi All,

I received a reply from Marcos Heritage regarding glass pricing.

I have attached their letter below.

I went with 5 fronts and 10 rears as our estimate. I was happy to see that they do indeed carry the Perspex rears.

It looks like the glass converts to:

Rear Glass Screens $345.00 each

Front glass $452.00 each

Rear Perspex $145.00 each

It sounds as if we would be facing an additional 3216.00 (worst case for 10 glass rears-see below) to get them shipped to ONE destination here in the US. I think that we will also have to pay some type of customs charges as well. I\u2019m not sure what they would run, but I would guess the customs would be a few hundred dollars.

Then we would incur more shipping to part them out and send them to their individual destinations.

I guess we need to go ahead and contact Pilkingtons (sp?) to get an estimate from them. Lee can you do that?

Although, I\u2019m not sure how we would estimate shipping with this method. I guess we could have Pilkingtons estimate it for shipping them to one US location as Rory did.

I\u2019m very disappointed by what I have found so far as the shipping will add so much to it that it probably will not be viable for most.

Although, there is still the hope of getting Perspex rears from Hayes (which I am still pursuing) and maybe getting someone in the US or Canada to do some front screens (which I would like for Paul to pursue with the place in Canada once he gets some time).

Please LMK what everyone thinks.

Jeff

We can supply rear glass or perspex ( lexan / polycarbonate ) screens.

We carry perspex screens in stock at \ufffd95.00 Each.

We can supply glass at the following prices:

10 x Rear Glass Screens ( Retail \ufffd350.00 ) \ufffd225.00 Each

5 x Front Glass Screens ( Retail \ufffd375.00 ) \ufffd295.00 Each

In all honesty the perspex screens are a definate fit because they are supplied oversize as opposed to the glass rear screens.

Regarding the shipping, it would be much cheaper to send the screens to one destination.

We would have to pack them in batches of 5. And you would be looking at around \ufffd200.00 to have each batch of 5 screens professionally crated ( our shippers insist on this ) - in all \ufffd600 for crating.

To ship the screens ( 3 boxes ) to North America is going to cost

in the region of \ufffd1500.00. The 3 boxes volumetrically work out at approx 840kg therefor making a very expensive shipping cost.

I have quoted for "worst case scenario " - i.e everybody wanting glass rear screens.

To ship a quantity of perspex screens would be a lot less - i.e to ship 5 perspex screens would cost \ufffd200 - \ufffd300.
