>Looking at the list of parts and the size of the shipping box(70 x 27.5 x 23.6), will fenders even fit in that size of a box? With the side skirts and lips, looks to be a tight fit right now.

I will confirm with Edd again, but seeing as this is his largest box I dont see it being too much of a problem.
I think we are getting pretty close to a full box but I am looking to get a few more people in with smaller items.

So the total shipping amount for the package will be around $500
This is the part were I would like to get some community input on.
The easiest thing in my mind is to evenly cut the shipping cost among all the participants and have them add that cost to their payments for their item(s) they are buying.
People buying smaller things this may not be fair for because at 8 people the cost would be around $60 for shipping when in reality shipping would have been around $40 or so if they were to get their items individually. Also is it fair for a person who is getting 4or more large items to pay the same as someone getting just a pair of spats.
Although this is a favorable price for people getting larger items, I myself would rather have this price alot lower (which means we need more people in the GB) so that when it comes time to ship items out within the US, that price wont be another bourdon to add. BUT we can only pack this parcel so tight, and I will speak to Edd about what is our limit.

I can have the package delivered to my local post office or like courier service (UPS/Fedex/DHL) and pick it up from their facility as to prevent any sort of odd variable of handler damage or theft that might occur if having it delivered to my house. Since I will be getting the package that would mean I would not have to pay for more shipping to my residence as everyone else will have to do, to even this out or make it more fair I can increase my shipping charge from the UK, how much that will be we can figure out along the way

>Damage:>>
Upon receiving the package I will meticulously inspect every item for any damage I believe to have been caused during its shipment and notify the affected buyer and Edd of the issue and will take steps on resolving the problem.
>>Shipping within the US:>>>
>Cost:>>
At this moment I only have a few large boxes, I can get a bunch more from a local bodyshop to use to ship out the larger items. I am going to grab some of the dimensions of the larger items and start to grab some estimates for shipping.
I can use a specific courier service at each persons request (USPS/Fedex/UPS) along with any desirable insurance additives. USPS will probably be the cheapest for the smaller items but I know you all have experienced some bad times with them in the past as I have too. I believe if I pack the items smartly everything should remain intact.
Shipping payments will be made to me prior to shipping.
I am going to take the location that is listed in your profile and add it next to your name on the list to get an idea of where things are going. Later I will ask for everyones address they would like to use and use that for more accurate shipping costs.
