USA and Canada Group Ordering [Archive] - Badminton Central Discussion Forums

Intended audience: people in USA and Canada only.

I am planning on ordering JP Yonex products by the end of this month, and I am looking for 1-3 people who are interested in buying JP products.

The newest 2005 Yonex catalog is here:
http://shuttle-house.com/PAGE_top/MAIL_ORDER/Meker_Catalog/YONEX_05/YONEX_05_1top.html

The reason I am doing this: By doing the group ordering, we can share the international shipping cost and the bank transfering fees, and it's like a win-win situation for everyone.

Cost:
There will be 30% off discount if our total order amount is more than 105000 Yen. So, you will need to pay the discounted item price + shared S&H fee (from Japan to US) + S&H fee (from my place to your home).

If you are interested in buying JP products together, please pm me and we can estimate the cost together :)

Everything's in Japanese! Hmmm ... maybe I'd like to try a Cab30 or something.

Well, you can get the Cab30MS in the US easily without hurting your wallet :)
(I order JP products, because the products I am looking for are not available in the US. Such as the new Cab-20.....etc)

Can you show me the page of the Cab20? :confused: That's weird.
(Maybe that's only for Canada?)
So far, none of the online stores I know have it (in the US and Canada)

Is this really an original cab 20 or a cab 20 muscle? If it's a plain cab 20, I'd love to know!

from north america probably soon

bluejeff

Well, that's what we have right now, but that's the Japan version of the catalog, and we know that US have less goods than Japan catalog.

Cooler, the Yonex 2005 Japan catalog link is at the post#1 of this thread. ;)

I wonder where in the website do they display the Yonex bags?
A catalog means it has many pages to flip;)
The bags section is between P74-P79.

I highly doubt the new cab20 will come with that many varieties in N.A. Even if it will be avaliable, I don't think all the U and G combinations will all be included as in Asian market.

I'm interested in buying some stuff, but not sure if I should...I have my eyes on the cab20 and a new bag...

I'm definately interested in this group buy idea.

So far, i have my eyes on the Cab20F, Cab20MS. Still thinking about the MP90 and the AT800 DE.

Let me know when you want to order.

hey, those spec came from north amercian yonex catalog.
Yonex japan would slap them if yonex usa don't do what they say.

The price of the items will be:

(The price listed on the catalog) x 0.7 (we can get 30% off discount)

Then, it will be the shard S&H cost and the Shipping fee to your door :)

I am so tempted to join in on this group buy...arg...but shipping kills it for me. Hey Kwun, if you plan on ordering, let's combine shipping. It should save us money right? ;)

I'm not sure what I want now. I want a new bag, but the bags are expensive. I want some strings not available to me, but it's expensive as well. And the only racquet I want from there is the cab20.

My choices have come down to the cab20 and the bag... :mad: If only I had a job then I don't think I would have problems choosing, but since I don't...the decision is a tough one.

If we have more people join the group, we will have less shared fees :)

If you and Kwun can join the group and combined the shipping, the savings are going to be significant for sure.

This is very tempting :). However, I just got rid of a bunch of racquets and don't want to pile up my room with racquets again!

03-12-2005, 02:16 PM

I'm interested into the Nanospeed 7000 3UG4 (if possible G3), I calculated and with the 30%, it'll end up cheaper than if I were to buy it here retail. On top of that, it won't be a racket made in Canada. ^_^ Made in Japan all the way, baby!!

Can you give me an approx of the total shipping if you send it to Canada, Montreal?

I have just pm'ed you :)

Ordering with our group should be a lot cheaper if you want to order a larger quantiy of strings because there is one less middle men in between!

FEND.

This is just an example, not reflecting people's orders, but data is for real.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Say, if you want to order a new orange color of Yonex Cab-20 (which is 16800 Yen) from Japan directly.

Case#1, order it yourself.
Cab-20: 13272 Yen (only 21% discount applied due to total amount is low)
S&H: 2000 Yen at least.
JP Bank Fee: 2500 Yen
Subtotal: 17772 Yen or166 USD (if we use 1:107 ratio)
Wire Bank Fee: 20 USD (or above)
Total: 186 USD

Case#2, join the group order.
Cab-20: 11760 Yen (30% discount applied) or 110 USD.
Shared Fees: 20 USD (for example, if our group has 5 people)
S&H to your door: 15 USD (with shipping insurance included)
Total: 145 USD
