This is a NIB (and as far as I can tell out of production) kit which I won't get around to building, so it has to go.
Nicest fiber glassing I've ever seen.
Multistage capable with 54mm MMT in booster, 29mm MMT in sustainer.

$185 - Buyer pays shipping, PayPal preferred.

For those wondering what it looks like, this is mine. I have it set for single stage flight but it's a lot of fun that way, too.Screenshot_20231216_104757_Gallery.jpg

Think I have a box......so next step is taking to UPS when they open again - to verify shipping cost for further discussion.

Go to pirateship.com and open an account, it's free and easy. Once you have your account, enter shipping address and then box dimensions and weight. It will give you options, UPS and USPS. Choose the one you want and buy the label using PPal or a card, print it and stick it on your boxed kit. Drop it off at UPS or a UPS store and you're done for a lot less money than you would pay them directly. For me to ship a 48 x 8 x 8 box weighing 15 lbs. to Oregon from Georgia is under $32 using pirate ship.

Sold a bunch of kits this year, usually went directly to both UPS and USPS with the box (since they are close together in my town)....to compare shipping rates.

UPS usually beat USPS ......(just don't wrap the box in brown shipping paper like I did recently as UPS raised the amount some ridiculous amount -like another $40, as they said it had to go on a different conveyor system - guess to keep the sorter from ripping off the paper and the address).

USPS has been not to good a service in my area recently ....a seller paid extra for priority delivery to me and it took two weeks...when the seller complained they told him "delivery date was not guaranteed".

So how does Pirateship save you money?
Some discount arrangement with both UPS and USPS ?
 
Yes, they apparently have a highly discounted commercial rate. You can go and check rates without buying a label, it's pretty amazing how much they save you. It also makes it easy for me to buy something with buyer paid shipping. If I was buying one of your kits for example, you would prep the box and give me the dims and weight. I open my pirate ship account and buy a label from your address to mine. Email label to you to print and stick on box. All you have to do is drop it off at the shipper, none of your time wasted checking rates and I know I got a good deal on shipping.

Thanks...do you have to be a "business" to use it?

I've done the same with the usps click and ship online.. use box dimensions and weight, to and from address then you pay and get a pdf label to print and tape on the box.. saves a ton of time at the post office. I haven't used the pirateship yet..

Yes, Pirate Ship gets special rates. Of course, you'll need a scale. Do an experiment. Take a package to ups and see what they'll charge, then run it on Pirate Ship. You'll see the cost savings.
