haha sadly I'm only 16 and dont really have $19000 dollars laying around :), basically as i was saying about the importer/exporter license my uncle works for dunelm and ships all the items from china, japan, all far east countries, so im sure i can ask a few favors from him to help get us a container, to be honest we are actually looking at getting a container if we move to ship our stuff the the Philippines, so i can get the price for that and work on a rough estimate. I didn't say it would be an easy feat by any means necessary, but the more guys we get just ordering a case of shells the easier it would be and become more feasible.

oh and also i like pauls idea, of possibly asking a regular company to add a few bits and bobs to their order for us, that could also be an option

thanks
George

ah, so is there a possibility of joining up somehow if i get some guys together ?, i know you want to sell them, but at those trade prices it would be quite handy, i doubt anyone will ever make 600 3" shells or 300 4" shells for that matter, but its still handy having them lol :)

talk soon

The cost is far higher than the factory gate prices. You end up paying the lost opportunity costs when getting them in someone else's container as they could have had a profit making item in its place so you end up paying that profit margin. It is only fair really as they are a business after all.
Phew that was close.
