Group Buy : Frunk and/or Trunk Mat From Taobao
I found this shop on Taobao which has sold quite a number of frunk and trunk mat.


ÌØ˹À*MODEL Sºó±¸Ïäµæ ÌØ˹À*Ç°±¸Ïäµæ ÌØ˹À*βµæTeslaÆû³µ¸Ä×°-tmall.comÌìè


PHOTOS
Photos of the products are available on the page. I challenged the guy for the lack of photos of their products on actual Model S, but the comments on their products seem decent enough. There are 3 colours (brown, black and beige) and two seam edges (flat and raised), prices are different.


DISCOUNT
Just wondering how many of you are interested in buying as a group as I have struck a deal with the seller, "购买满560元店铺优惠22元 送毛巾 防滑垫 ", translating it to English it says "RMB22 discount for every RMB560 of purchase, car care towels and non-slip pads as gifts" (see attached photo).


WARRANTY
3 years by the seller


RETURN POLICY
15 days (but you have to do it yourself)


POSTAGE RATES
Frunk and Trunk mat combo plus packaging weights 2.5kg. It will be free postage to Shenzhen address, but forwarding from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and my collecting from convenient store by S.F. Express 順豐速運 will cost RMB 19.0 for first kg, RMB 4.0/500g therefore (Circle K).

If one set of combo is 2.5kg, flat edge version will come at a cost of RMB236+RMB19+RMB12 = RMB267 (SF Express) is expected (discount not yet included). Raised edge will cost RMB295+RMB19+RMB12 = RMB326


COLLECTING YOUR PURCHASE
Need to arrange a meet up date, time and venue for collecting. Preferably Hopewell because we get 2 hours free parking and supercharging anyway, but DITB is organising a gathering end of this month, so maybe that day will be a good day to give out these, unless you need them desperately.


DEADLINE OF GROUP BUY

Total orders: 24
Total sets of flat = 7
Total sets of raised = 14
Total a la carte raised = 1


Total cost of flat in sets = 7 x 236 = RMB 1652
Total cost of raised in sets = 14 x 295 = RMB 4130
Total cost of a la carte raised frunk mat = 1 x 148 = RMB 148
Total before discount = RMB 5930
Total discount = RMB 330!!!
Total after discount = 5930-330 = RMB 5600


Estimated weight = 2.5kg x (7+14+1) = 57.5kg
Estimate postage cost by 4PX = can't do 4PX because I don't think I can carry 57.5kg by myself. SF Express has a Circle K pick up near my home.
Estimate postage cost by SF Express = RMB 19 (1st kg) + 95 x RMB 4 = RMB 399


Estimated total = RMB 5600+ RMB 399 = RMB 5999
Estimated total paid by credit card = RMB 5999+ 3% = RMB 6179
Estimated total paid by credit card in HKD = RMB 6179 x $1.29 = HK$ 7970.9 (7-Eleven exchange rate on 9th Jan 2015)


Estimated cost per flat set =236 /(7x236+14x295+148) x HK$ 7970.9 = HK$317.2
Estimated cost per raised set = 295 /(7x236+14x295+148) x HK$ 7970.9 = HK$396.5
Estimated cost per raised frunk mat = 148 /(7x236+14x295+148) x HK$ 7970.9 = HK$199.0
Estimated cost per raised trunk mat = HK$393.4 - HK$197.4 = HK$197.6




PURCHASE

Since the exchange rate is unknown, for convenience sake, I will collect the following amount from you all, if you paid me too much in the end, I will return the odds to you personally. Otherwise, I will collect extra from you when you collect your purchase, hope that's fine with you all:

Frunk + trunk combo flat edge set = HK$320
Frunk + trunk combo raised edge set = HK$400
Raised Frunk mat = HK$200
Raised Trunk mat = HK$200


Please deposit the respective amount into my HSBC account (to be PMed to each buyer individually, so please check your forum inbox) and email me at [email protected] / Whatsapp me with a photo of your ATM receipt for recording.

Hope you have enjoyed this purchase and will enjoy your mats even more!!!

Due to the maximum weight allowed for Circle K pick-up, the mats have to be split into 2 separate bulks to be collected from SF Express shop. Each being RMB 135, so that makes RMB 170, supposedly cheaper than estimated and that's very good news, but we will have to wait until the day I collect them to see if I have to pay extra.

Correction from the previous statement, turns out the mats have to be split into 4, not 2 separate bulks, 2 of which I have already picked up, which include 6 complete sets of flat and 6 complete sets of raised in black, plus 1 flat frunk and 1 raised trunk mat. RMB 270 has been paid for the postage but seems like there is more to come for the remaining two parcels. I hope the total will remain within RMB 399 but the chance is slim.

There might be a chance I have to collect more money from you all.

The mats have to be split into 4, not 2 separate bulks, 2 of which I have already picked up, which include 6 complete sets of flat and 6 complete sets of raised in black, plus 1 flat frunk and 1 raised trunk mat. RMB 274.06 (HK$351.24) + HK$156 = HK$507.24 has been paid for the postage, will be collecting the last parcel maybe tomorrow or Sunday that should add more to the cost. So far we are still under RMB 399 (HKD 514.71, based on 1.29 exchange rate) but will be over when the last parcel arrives.


The difference in postage arises from the fact that 1 parcel has been split into 4, thus instead of one 1st kg (RMB 19) , we now have four 1st kg, and two of them are direct delivery instead of forwarding, thus higher than RMB 19 for the 1st kg and successive every 500g.

Just to round things up, the first round of the Frunk-Trunk Group Buy is complete, all except jkhfung ( frunk & trunk -- black, raised edge) have collected their mats from me.

There will be a round 2, but this time, there will be a long trunk mat and a short trunk mat. Price for the long one is to be confirmed, but it is likely to cost double of the short trunk mat.

Since this is a product is still at the pre-production stage, nothing is finalised yet, but this is going to happen. Leave a message if you interested and haven't let me know yet.
