The retractable roof solar shade briefly sold on this forum by a few companies, and presently sold by RPM for $561 plus $100 shipping, is available on Alibaba for $125-$150. This is without shipping, and the differences appear to be required minimum order.
I propose a group purchase. I'd orchestrate for free, but I've literally no agenda and don't care if somebody more known to the forums steps in to do the work. Frankly, if somebody on the west coast does this shipping is probably cheaper (I'm in illinois).
Here's what I'm thinking:
1) Those interested respond herein.
2) The lowest minimum order quantity is 4. Once we pass that I'll/whoever holds for 2 weeks, summarize to all where we're at, and request pricing. If we hit 10 or more then we can save 20-30$ each.
3) Each of us to investigate our own shipping from me/whoever. If I do it we're shipping via one vendor, either UPS or FedEx, TBD. I suppose I'm mildly agnostic.
4) Those electing to commit will need to pay upfront. A receipt for literally everything should be scanned and shared herein.
5) Before you provide funds I/the coordinator will engage whoever is the longest tenured member and the member with the most posts deeply enough that they should be able to determine if the elected coordinator is legit or not. Again, anybody can offer/insist to be the coordinator.
What are the risks?
1) You don't know me/whoever. This ain't a lot of money to become a felon, but I suspect there are low-life's that would do worse. Buyer beware.
2) If I do it consider this: I'm not RPM. I offer no customer service, warranty, or etc. Obviously I won't accept obviously damaged products, but none of us really know what's inside those boxes. Nor do I consent to become an arbiter of problems. I MAY, I'm not an ass, but let's be clear up front: You should expect nothing other than I collect funds, forward it, fill out some labels,and forward parcels to you. End. Remember, I'm doing this to help us all, not for profit. Nor would I accept anything.
What else:
I have literally no idea what a mod might say. We may need to each throw a few dollars to the forum, or the mods may agree this is simply forum members working for the greater good of the members. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
What about RPM:
Personally, I wish RPM wasn't out of their minds about pricing. Had they marked the product up something reasonable I'd pay for some convenience and accountability. A 400% markup? Shipping to them is not that expensive. Not only nope, but I'm reconsidering what I think of them.
