Britax Parts Co-op

I am opening up a Britax parts co-op for anyone interested in placing a parts order.

All orders will be tallied and cost calculated prior to you making payment. Once I have everything figured out I will send everyone an individual invoice through paypal. Please keep in mind that I am required to pay a fee to receive payments through paypal. Having said that each order place will have the paypal fee added to the invoice. Its only a few cents on small amounts.
When paying by paypal I will only accept funded paypal. If you send your payment with a credit card or bank transfer you will be required to pay the fee. Sorry, no IOU's. If you have not paid prior to the order being placed your item/s will not be ordered. So, expect to send payment by Tues April 1st. Order will most likely go in by Thurs April 3rd.



If you want to place an order, PM me with your order.

Co-op will close on Mon Mar 31st @ 12pm, so be sure to have your order in by then.

Anyone who feels like helping out with the co-op let me know. I could probably use at least 1 extra pair of hands.

I need some tan comfort pads, but have been putting it off due to tax/shipping. How will this co-op work? Do we all split shipping for one order?

Is there a discount for this co-op, or is it to save on the Britax shipping rates?

Alot of you seem to be interested in covers this time around.

So, I'll tell you what. If someone wants to jump on the wagon and help me out with this co-op I will include covers as well.

I planned on just doing a parts order and no covers to keep it simple.

This is my first go at a co-op and don't want to get in over my head. So, if someone wants to volunteer their co-op expertise and give me hand so I don't screw it up.....LOL I don't see why we couldn't order covers as well.

So, please bear with me here, I'm a newbie co-oper.

Ideally someone that is located in the US that could accept the orders and then sort and ship them would be ideal. I am in Canada and will be shipping everyone's order from Canada unless someone else wants to accept the orders.
You will need to keep in mind that because I am in Canada all orders need to clear customs ,both from Britax and then again from me to you.

Here is some info we had on a couple of co-ops we ran for Britax parts. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=344001#post344001

From what I can deduct...
- if there is a US address for Britax to send parts to, then it would make better sense for US and Canadian mamas to participate
- if there is no US address and Britax is to send parts to Canada, it would only make sense for Canadian mamas to participate. US mamas would be dinged for higher shipping and possibility of duties and taxes and wait time for the parcel to clear custom at the border
- Covers don't seem to worth the bother with a co-op since we are only doing it to share the high shipping for a small item like a chest clip. If you are interested in a cover, just order directly from Britax because it is big and heavy enough to justify the shipping Britax charges (either for Canadian or US address)

Thanks hipmaman . That should answer everyone's questions.

I do have a member in the US that is willing to accept the orders. So this co-op is good for both those in the US and Canada.

I wouldn't be able to confirm that without calling Britax directly. You can also give them a call to double check before placing an order.

If the shipping is only $8.50 for the entire order then I will pay the shipping for the original order.
If the shipping is more then that it will be equally shared by everyone who places an order. For ex: if shipping is $20 and 10 people place an order then we'd each pay $2.00.

You will then need to pay the shipping from the receivers address to yours.

Anyone who wishes to place an order needs to PM with their order please.

For those of you who have PM'd me an order please be sure to send me your paypal address's .

I will be sending out individual invoices through paypal for your orders.

Your orders will need to be paid for before I can order them.

You also need to remember that any fee's I have to pay to paypal to receive your payments you will need to pay. I JUST CHECKED PAYPAL TO ENSURE EVERYONE PAYS THE APPROPRIATE RATE OF FEE'S FOR THEIR PAYPAL PAYMENT. EVERY PAYMENT I RECEIVE FROM A US PERSON IS SUBJECT TO A RATE OF 13%. SO PLEASE ADD 13% TO YOUR INVOICE TOTAL TO COVER THOSE FEE'S. THAT IS WHAT I HAVE TO PAY TO PAYPAL TO RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENT.

Co-op closes tomorrow, so please submit all your info before the co-op closes.


Thanks a bunch Munchkin for being willing to accept the orders and sort them. Much appreciated.

OK, THIS IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON YOUR INVOICE THE PAYPAL FEE'S HAVE BEEN ADDED TO YOUR TAX BLOCK. YOU ARE NOT PAYING TAX. THAT WAS JUST THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD CALCULATE THE RIGHT AMOUNT TO CHARGE FOR THE PAYPAL FEE. WHICH BY THE WAY TURNS OUT TO BE 13%.

I HAVE RECEIVED A FEW PAYMENTS NOW AND WAS CHARGED WELL ABOVE WHAT I ACTUALLY CHARGED FOR THE FEE ORIGINALLY. SO NOTE ON YOUR INVOICES THAT THE TAX AMOUNT OF 13% IS FOR YOUR PAYPAL FEE'S, NOT TAX.

THIS FIRT INVOICE IS ONLY TO PAY FOR THE PARTS YOU HAVE ORDERED. YOU WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER INVOICE WHEN ITS TIME TO SHIP YOUR ITEM. THE SECOND INVOICE WILL BE FOR YOUR SHIPPING CHARGES.

JUST TO UPDATE EVERYONE WHO PLACED AN ORDER. BRITAX SAYS UP TO 10 DAYS JUST TO PROCESS THE ORDER BEFORE IT'S SHIPPED.

SO, PLEASE BE PATIENT. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE THE ORDER HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

SHIPPING TOTALED $15 SO EACH PERSON WILL NEED TO SEND $2.50 TO MY PAYPAL ACCT#. THANKS
