Shipping is very expensive.  I have a hard tine justifying paying more for shipping than for the 1 Koma light I want to get.  If there are others in this situation maybe we can put in a larger order and save on shipping.  

I was using the Kiley lights but it seems they redesigned them and a front light only gives 2 hours now befor needing a recharged when on flash mode.  My Koma lights seem to last longer.

it is unfortunate, i just ordered a few things from circles (basically sim.works HQ), and it was $90 shipping, in the end it worked for me since they had something i couldnt get anywhere else.  

as i understand it, international air shipping from JP is still restricted, fingers crossed it opens up again soon, its impresssive to get a package in only a few days from JP, but i dont need it that fast!

Have you tried Crust Bikes for those lights?

Joel, reach out to Jared or David at Hope Cyclery in Johnstown PA. They are real sweethearts and get regular Blue Lug orders and keep the Koma lights stocked. https://hopecyclery.bigcartel.com/product/koma-light-rear

I did the same last year when I was looking for a Choco bars and I sucked up the freight but I did add a couple of lights I just wish I would’ve added one more. Their service is impeccable.

I actually thought of posting something similar -- there are a lot of small things I'm interested in getting from Blue Lug, but I find myself adding more to my cart than what I need to justify the shipping cost.... I would be interested in going in on a group order, but with two young kids and a ft job I'm not in a position to handle the logistics of organizing one...

Soviet, ir was over $30 to ship a $30 light so it would depend on the shipping for a larger order and if it then makes sense.  Logistics ok for me.

I've put in an order recently  and have been amazed at how relatively quick and affordable it was. DHS is silly quick too. I think the key is getting odds & ends(exclusive grips, bar tape, that amazing x-pac zip up wallet, etc.) to make it worth while.

Hi Joel, ok I'm looking at getting some odds and ends from blue lug, and shipping is the same for me if I were to add your Koma light - it would be $40. If you don't mind chipping in a little (not sure what's fair?) and you don't mind the wait, I can add it to my order and ship it to you at for whatever that costs  (I'm in Massachusetts). Let me know - I'd like to place my order this week!

Sophie, thanks.  I am in MA as well.  I can definitely chip in for the shipping above the extra it would cost you.  Will send a PM with my info.

I was looking to do an order for some DT shifters, lights, bar tape, and a front rack. Shipping was $80. While still kind of a good deal for air freight from Japan, it's still much more that we Americans are used to paying. I took out the front rack and the shipping went down to $40.

So, I'd be down to do a group order, especially for SoCal friends. Also, I'm interested in your front racks and down tube shifters that you may have for sale ;)

Cheers!
Ben

Ben, I think I have some 105 downtube shifters you can have for shipping. I can look tonight.
