Is there any interest in a Goodman style handle for the DRIS 1000 and 500 lights?

I'm in. I'm an international order and assume all the shipping stuff will be worked out once the project is officially greenlit. I congratulate your initiative and wish you all the best!

You are including shipping in the cost but that rules out anybody that lives outside of the standard flat rate charge (i.e. those of us from North of the border). Who will be shipping the unit? Who will be refunding me the $5+ when the actual shipping cost is established (usually around $18 I believe)? Will it be you or the manufacturer? I am going to commit but would rather commit to the actual so I am not left to assume or guess. Also, is it you that is holding these funds until the volume requirement is met?EDITPayment confirmed.....and it is out there in my FB realm as well.

The handles will be shipped out by me after I receive them. For international buyers I will contact you about shipping and let you know the difference from the shipping amount already included in the price. Originally I was going to set this up so that I had to reach the funding goal then I would receive all the money. Unfortunately I accidentally hit the wrong button so I am getting the money as you pre-order. Indiegogo won't let me change it back for obvious reasons after orders are coming in. So whether or not I receive the full funding amount I will proceed with the prodcuton at the end of the campaign and I will put up any extra money myself. Then I will just have to sell the left over pieces later. So no matter what this is getting made.

00w.. hope your BP is good over that build capital vs. build product oops....

Question: Can more than two make it in a shipping box? Maybe disassembled? Was looking at three, but settled for two based on selection options...

I for one am willing to pay a little more (amount to be decided by me) if it meant a smaller run AND you were not on the hook for any extra (and possible loss out of your pocket). I throw the option out for discussion if people don't commit.

Thanks - I have already made an agreement with the manufacturer for 100 pieces. It's no big deal. Whatever I don't sell by pre-order I will put in an ebay store or something to sell them off. Once you guys get yours and start posting pics of them online I bet they will sell quickly.

I'm not sure. I don't have the parts yet so I had to estimate what will fit. It is likely that it will fit. If you want to order 3 I can try to fit them in one box. If it fits then I can put $5 in the box to reimburse you for the shipping.

For those of you that are interested in thumbnuts for the light you can pick them up in brass or stainless steel here: http://www.mcmaster.com/#thumb-screw-nuts/=jrxc4o
They should be 10-24 size but you should wait until production is complete and I will confirm. Since this is coming from overseas it might switch to metric bolts.

I'm just ordered a couple! Great idea. Far all of the expressed interest, there aren't a lot of orders in yet...

I thought the same thing. Hopefully everybody ponies up and commits so nobody at risk of being out of money.

13/100 after two days.... best thing is to keep both threads up in the top. These should sell. its a great idea, and appears well executed.
