Sigh... doesn't look too good. Just have to be a little bit more patient. Hopefully it'll arrive before mid November.

Cheers! =)

Heya. Keep us updated on the progress. I hope Gary can put more attention on our orders since its volume and not individual.

Can david just update on how many pieces of each type are there so we have an idea on our bargaining position?

FWAH, so many Nikon units, compared to Canon. This is a first.

Hi Vince123123,

Now that you have the number, you want to bargain with Gary Fong on our behalf?

 

[Fluorite]

Just to ask, is the lightsphere on sale in any shops here in Singapore?

Come on guys be patient for the stuff as it takes some time for the things to become really avaliable as what is stated in the link. Good things comes to those who wait patiently and i assume everyone wants to have a good lightsphere and not one where there is some problem in the end.

[vince123123]

Hehe only if I was the MO organiser, which in this case, we'd have to leave the honours to you

try to get an amount with transport charges included from them, easier, normally air freight charges are based on volume weight or gross weight, which ever higher, so in this sense, you won't know whats the actual weight. in negotiating terms, i'd rather they waived off the transport charges than to have a 1-5 buck discount... you won't know how much the transport cost will kill you...

suggest u use Telegraphic Transfer better.. or use a money changer to transfer to them... (they will be grateful cos they save on the bank charges... but they might be too rich to be bothered) also save on future arguements...

pm me if you going to use TT, i recommend u a few of my regular money changer.
