Just to let you know, Syncro Services is in the process of getting a
new quote for the shipment, as the final number of rims on order is
less than originally thought (now 25 rather than 37).
Regards,
Francesca.

Subject: Rims to Australia: final order
From: fcoles6@gmail.com

Hi Henning,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. l had to chase a couple of people.
Unfortunately, some people have changed their minds and have withdrawn
their orders. Two were in Western Australia, and the cost of 5000 km
of road freight across Australia (such is the size of our country) on
top of shipping made the rims too expensive for them. One other
withdrew for personal/financial reasons. Perhaps they also had too
long to think about it...
Below is the final order:
5 X sets of 15-inch rims (25 in total)
4 X fastener sets (one person already has a set)
1 set handbrake cable right/left
As we are now ordering a lesser amount = less weight, will the cost of
shipping be adjusted downwards? Will there also be a downward
adjustment in the German national taxes and BAF rates? The cost of
insurance should be less with the shipment being of lesser value as
well.
What I will need to ask of you is a new invoice, obviously. This time
could you please itemise separately exactly what is included under
'shipping to Australia'. The price you originally mentioned to me for
shipping was 400 euros + 85 euros insurance, but on the invoice it is
down as 550 euros. Could you explain the price variance there, thanks?
As I will be presenting to the group a price for the rims delivered to
Melbourne, I need to be able to give them a breakdown of costs and
divide the costs fairly.
Also, you mention that German national taxes and bunker fees on top of
shipping will have to be paid at our end, and you say that this should
be 35% of shipping costs. A friend of mine here (and a member of the
forum) who has extensive experience with import/export asked me to
query this amount as it seemed high to him. Could you please confirm
this, thanks.
One more request: could you please give me the contact details of your
Melbourne shipping agent. I would like to ask them to quote for
clearance and delivery. Also, please ensure that the goods are
consigned 'to order' and all documents sent to me personally. If they
are sent to your agent, I might be liable for an administration fee to
hand them over to an agent who may have given me a more competitive
quote.
Thanks for your assistance. I apologise if there is anything I've
misunderstood. I'm trying to ensure that I discharge my responsibility
to the group as cost-effectively as possible while lacking in
experience in these matters.
Thanks again for your great service on our behalf.
Regards,
Francesca.
