Last minute change of plans, there’s a $20 off $50 coupon coming out on Thursday, will submit then and pass on the savings.

If that means there’s still time to join in, I’d like 2-3 if you can reach the next increment before ordering

Yep, as above send me $7 for each board you want. The coupon will likely cover the taxes. I’ll round up to the next multiple for 5 and hold the boards at my expense.

@mike you’re good for that second board too.

The next increment after 30 was 50, I didn’t want to take that risk. All 30 are spoken for, I need to refund Patrick but I don’t have your email or slack handle to contact you.

Pretty fast … sadly not fast enough to save me the 15 minutes I spent this afternoon trying to figure out why a firmware flash kept failing … another cable into the dust bin.

Shipment is making good progress. At least it didn’t go through the uk like the last two I made did.

Here’s the final accounting. We’re about $14 over. Some people paid $10, am planning to split the $14 amongst them proportionally. Is that ok? Would be silly to get 10c from everyone.

@robbat2 @Janet @cory pls DM email addresses and I’ll send you you change (or let me know if it should go into Donatio).

Is that accounting for the duty charge? I always get dinged an extra $20-$30 when i order from jlc. Either way, keep or donate the extra from me as well! :slight_smile:

Yes, thanks for checking. I chose DDP, delivered duty paid so I’ve paid all the duties to jlcpcb (which they pass on to dhl etc.)

The initial estimates were for 10-15 boards, the increase to 30 dropped the price a little, that saving covered the duties. You can see the duties and taxes in the invoice at USB Cable tester group order - you know you want one! - #37 by TomKeddie

This isn’t the bargain it seems like, the shipping price goes up when you choose DDP. I think the $15 processing charge is in the shipping charge. In my experience DDP works out about even but with an order like this, the convenience of one invoice wins.

Oops, so we’re $21 over. Will try to repay those who paid $10.
