Just pick 800? Easier to calculate the cost and a round number. Rest 200 I can give to pgd84.

 

I got the cost estimate from the manufacturer and he is saying $210 for 4000 pages. We are looking for cheaper sources.

The person I know is a stationer and the low cost is given only to wholesalers.

210 is still expensive....

 

let me check in singapore....

[Dhruv_Sood]

Cheapest available is in Japan where it is manufactured. Anywhere else will give it at an additional cost. It should be available for $75-80, if that's the cost, then I would suggest going through with it. Otherwise not.

[mehandiratta]

Have you got the final quote...??

[Dhruv_Sood]

$210 is the final quote from the manufacturer. $80 is the lowest quote from Rakuten. We are trying to find something lower.

Rakuten seller will not ship to india so I will have to ask them to ship to the seller friend in Japan.

[Dhruv_Sood]

Almost finalized. I will pay by tomorrow to the seller giving the least cost.

[mehandiratta]

[Dhruv_Sood]

Order placed, waiting for invoice to make payment.

 

Edit: those who have expressed interest in buying from me

Mehandiratta - 800 sheets (sorry, mentioned in the first post that only in batches of 100)

Pgd84 - 200 sheets

M vajrpani - 100 sheets

Rishminder - 200 sheets (to be collected by Vaibhav, good for me)

Make it 1000 for me...

200 for pradeep

200 for rishminder

[Dhruv_Sood]

Okay. Will do. I will have 4000 so it's okay.

 

Edit: Btw, the price is $90 including shipped to Tokyo. It will be sent to me from there using EMS. Adding custom duties to that, it will come to $160-180.

So we are looking at INR 2.64 - 2.97 per sheet.

For a moment i mistook the INR as USD and though 180 rupees per sheet... till i came back to my senses....

yes this is fine with me....

[Dhruv_Sood]

Payment made. Order will be shipped to Tokyo on Monday from where it will be shipped to india by my seller friend.

 

You can get that sort of paper too which costs $3 per sheet. Japanese washi paper which comes with every Izumo costs around this much per sheet.

 

Where does rishminder live? In Delhi?

[Dhruv_Sood]

Alright, I have got an accurate weight of 4000 sheets which is 15kg. O.O

 

So paper is for 10,500 yen

Shipping via EMS 14,200 yen

custom duties 33-40% 8151-9880 yen

Total 32851-34580 yen

 

In INR 18069-19000

Which comes to around INR 4.5-4.75 per sheet.

Who still wants it? I don't think many.

cant we escape customs....???

[mehandiratta]

i still want it... just might reduce few 100 nos...

[Dhruv_Sood]

Good for him. He can bring back stuff to sell to us.

 

Customs can't be escaped in this case. Whenever I have escaped customs, the items were few and but expensive. So less shipping. But in this case, shipping alone is enough to attract custom duty. Plus, a 15 kg parcel cannot come into india unnoticed.
