TheAncientOne Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Cancelled due to ridiculous price hike. Sorry folks, got way to expensive for now. Will take another look towards Sept 2010. (original post) I've had to rewrite this, because Pactec have put their prices up considerably, and the UK price reflects this. The only other UK supplier is ACAL, and they have no stock, and are drawing direct from Pactec, so we wouldn't see much improvment. Last time I got them from ACAL, and delivery was very long. Do another 15 people in UK or Europe want a PT-10`case (for the MB6582 or the x0xb0x)? If enough people want one to warrant an RS order, I don't mind doing another batch. Since these would be coming through my UK based, VAT registered, Limited Company, I have to show a small (5%) mark up. Anyone in a non-EEC country would get it VAT - free. If 15 people want one, the cost would be £25.24 plus Packing, Postage and Paypal fees. This is a ludicrous price hike in my opinion, but there is not much in the way of options. Mouser have them, but they work out at 26.60 plus an unknown amount for import duty, plus PPP; even worse. I've emailed Pactec themselves, to see what the cost of a standard carton, (16 - 20 as I recall), would be, shipped direct, because the baseline price here is about $27, though I need to see if once the carriage, customs and handling charges are added, it's enough to make a diffference. Stay tuned, and I'll see what I can do. One thing: If I go for an import, we will need to move fast once I get the price.

TheAncientOne Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I just had a glance on RS's site, and the price seems to have gone crazy - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2508440591Im confused, and hoping that im i looking at the wrong thing!NO - it's looks like a massive price hike. Checking the maker's site doesn't do much to raise the gloom either:http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/PT-10-pricing.html. In the days of the printed catalogue they at least had to keep the prices for 3 months.When I did a batch before, I bought from the UK distributers Acal, but they are showing no stock, so we would be in for a long wait, even with a better price. I'll check with RS, but I think we might just have to suck this one up or find another case.I'll revise things when I know what I can do.

boops Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi theprof what do you planned for the pactec? best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestle Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 how much was the case before? 26$ doesn't seem that bad??? I think I will use pt-10 from my xoxbox kit until you guys find cheaper alternative. I want to get my sids running :DNestle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 The PT-10 case is cheaper on the Irish RS site: http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2508440591 15 @ €17.03 Ex VAT 25 @ €13.82 Ex VAT. Prof what weight are these thingies? Irish post is probably more expensive than Royal Mail, the rates are here: http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/MainContent/Business+Customers/Sending+Mail/Standard/StandardPost.htm What do ye think?

Smithy Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Flemming just pointed out that products with the "Global Range" status, must be shipped in from Texas, and additional costs apply. I will find these out tomorrow. PBE in germany also sell this case for about 18 euro inc VAT according to an old post on the x0xb0x forum: http://www.pbe-shop.de/shop/448.html If anyone in germany reading this could request a quote from them it would be great. I'd imagine PBE stock them directly, so it would be much better to buy from them instead, instead of waiting for RS to get them in stock after you order, and having to pay extra for the inconvenience. :ahappy: Edited November 8, 2009 by Smithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flip Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) I just checked with PBE, they have the following conditions: Minimum order quantity: 3 (50 EUR) Prices: 1-49: 18,49 EUR 50-249: 17,91 EUR 250+: 17,32 EUR Shipping costs: Standard UPS shipping rates: <5kg: 13,20 EUR They have to order the cases, so delivery time would be 3-4 weeks.

Smithy Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Cheers Flip. Just spotted some good news on RS. "Orders for Global Range items with a total value of less than €100 are subject to an additional shipping & handling charge of €15.60" Click here, look on the right hand side. This additional charge is free since we'll be ordering more than €100 euro worth of PT-10s. Some other good news is that there is no standard shipping charge either, i.e from RS to my house, because there is free shipping on all orders over €100. Its only €4.40 for anything under €100 anyway which is really good. I have confirmed this by looking at the total in the checkout. So if we order 25 or more of these babies, the price per PT-10 including VAT is €16.80. Then its a matter of adding on the cost of postage and packaging from Ireland.
