I downloaded a free PO template I found on line and filled it out with a company name I've used occasionally, my shipping info, and the ELMA address found in Brian's email. You can just use your own name for the company name. Try here: https://templatelab.com/purchase-order-templates/ The pdf version is probably easiest.Hello,
I’d like to preface my message with a huge thank you to @L0rdGwyn for his extreme generosity in sharing his time and knowledge with the rest of the community.
I’ve been following this thread for the past few months and it’s awesome to finally have all the paperwork and PCB files available.
I’m from Spain and, after reading the BOM file, I reached Brian from ELMA by email since that output switch might be one of the hardest parts to acquire for those of us out of the USA.
Today I got this reply:
“Pricing for (1) of the part number CAS002059 / (US-B2-403N) is $122.99. Plus shipping costs. I won’t know shipping charges until it’s ready to ship. Are you able to issue a purchase order (PO) for this part number?”
“We accept all major credit cards without any additional fees. Our policy is to get the credit card information over the phone. Our shipping terms are EXW Origin. Please have both payment terms and shipping terms stated on the PO. Also, we can pre pay and add shipping to the invoice or you can use your own account. If this is non-taxable please include a copy of your tax exemption / re-sale certificate. I can help process your order when you are ready. Thank you!”
I’m afraid I’m a little more experienced with the soldering iron than doing international commerce with manufacturers, and haven’t filled a purchase order in my life.
If anybody with more experience could provide some guidance or if a group buy is set up to ease the process as @miter53 suggested, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Group buys are apparently not permitted on this forum. I don't know what the policy is over at DIYaudio, but perhaps one could be setup there.
