Has anybody called to see how many Britax chest clips one person can order at a time?

Seriously! That $8 shipping for one $3.00 chest clip is ridiculous! I didn't pay much more than that for shipping for new harness straps and a new cover! If anyones tries it, I'll buy a couple from you!

by playing around with their website, it looks like you can order up to 8 chest clips with an $8.50 shipping charge. Any more than that and the shipping bumps up to $10

So if 8 people order, and split the shipping 8 ways, it will be $4.06 per chest clip...then actual shipping from the orderer to each person (probably around $1 each)

I would be in for at least 2, possibly 3

Anyone want to organize this?
I would, but I don't have my paypal account hooked up to my bank account (so I still have sending and receiving limits)

Sooooo, I wonder how many you can get for $10 shipping?

Wow, I just tried it. It went up to 25 before changing to $15!

Think someone could sell that many for $5 each including shipping?

Sure beats $11!

I'm in for 2, and would be willing to be the buy through person, provided their shipping is fairly quick (we're moving in a month) and people are willing to prepay for their order to my paypal.

If you can get up to 25 for $10 shipping, that's only $.40 shipping, each, plus actual cost to ship to the ultimate owners. Someone help me on this one. I'm guessing they should be able to ship for around $1.00 a piece? So, if we get 25 orders, the "purchase price" would be $3.50 (added .10 for processing ) plus like $1.00 shipping for 1, and like $.50 for each additional.

Would they be okay to just wrap in some packing foam stuff and put in a regular or business envelope and mail that way? Or is there a better/but still cheap way to do it?

Why don't we start an actual count of who wants how many? Cut and paste and add your numbers:

Number of clips: user name: total count:

Good thought. They very well could be cheaper.

I guess it would seem strange if you didn't know what we are talking about! The Radian started out with a Britax like chest clip and then changed to one that many of us don't like as well. Russ, a CS rep at Radian's company said it was OK to use a Britax clip (Actually he said "diff clip").

I'm placing an order for chest clips today, but I already need 4, and with my upcoming move, I don't have time to wait and/or ship a whole bunch out.

Sorry.

Well with 4, at least you're sort of getting your money's worth!

Okay, I contacted REcaro's cust service and here's what they said:

"I can’t guarantee that the chest clip is the same as the Britax chest clip. The clip itself would be $2.50 per clip plus shipping which would probably be about $25.0 - $5.00 depending on where it is going."

So, no gaurentees they are the exact same. But it's a pre-crash conditioner anyway, right? They are cheaper, and I'm guessing she meant $.25-$5.00, or maybe $2.50. I did ask about a group order, but she didn't answer that. However, even if you went for just 2, it would likely be around $10 total, instead of $14 through Britax. Plus, I'd rather mine doesn't say "britax" on it.

Also, it hit me last night, that we're actually moving in only 2 1/2 weeks (time got away), so I can't be the order through. We're moving to Alaska for three months, so I refuse to ship in and out of there.
