I am hopefully in for around 10 pc.
Mike. If you get as many orders as it looks. I would think you can get the 15 per strip price !! dont think Kevin gets these orders every day ! and to sell several hundreds strips even if it might be 50 of these and 99 of those. would still be proper to give you the 15 USD per strip price ?? not the 19 USD.
Just a thought !!!

Lars.

Philip Perdue... how many?

Lars, its not up to me. But I will try. My understanding is that most of his "big" business comes from the big guitar houses (eg Taylor...)

Do you need the order from me now, or will you post details later? I'm interested, of course.

Mike,
You have any idea how many strips it would take to do a D45 style?

Put me on the list when you get around to it.

Hutch, I have no idea, guess you will have to get ahold of one and measure the perimeter. Unless someone reading this has already done it. Strips are 15" long. Zero end waste.

Just checking before committing.

You sure there is no problem shipping outside the USA ?

LMI will not ship Zip Flex outwith the US border, due to CITES restrictions.

But if you are sure there are no problems, then at anything less than $20.00 per strip, I will definitely take 20.

I can't look at this tread any longer. I'm in Mike. :D I'll take 5 at the higher price or 10 if we can get them for $15.

Hey Chuck, their website claims 4 will do a jumbo.

Thanks,
Danny

Does anybody understand the CITES and Lacy issues with regards to this product? I'm getting feedback that is making me uncomfortable with international stuff. Fees and paperwork, etc. If it is onerous, I will most likely not want to do that. This needs resolution.

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. Andy Depaul is pretty comfortable shipping from Oregon. Would this be going direct to you and then you re ship it? You might ask the manufacturer on that one. Maybe they could ship it direct.

Well, the deal is we (I) do the shipping. That's the hard part and one of the reasons he gives us the deal. I personally do not care what the manufacturer does, legal, not legal, or in a gray area. One idea that pops into my mind is to ship ALL international direct to a person in Canada. Let the manufacturer do that part, and then we are home free (assuming Canada does not have a rule like Lacy). Of course, I would have to find someone nuts enough to do what I am doing.

Hey Chuck, If you want to find out how many strips to do a D-45 trim, check out the Stew-Mac web catalog under bindings and purfling and clic any of the shell options. They list in inches what is needed to trim various Martin Dred and triple O's. Hope this is usefull information.

Probably time to bump this again. If you are posting to this thread for the first time, please tell me the number of strips you will be interested in... not that you are simply interested. If you already have posted a number, that is good enough for now. I am not yet certain that enough interest has been generated yet. I will have to go back through the posts to recalculate the total estimate. Perhaps tonight.

Mike
