Value of headsets and pouches for 10 pack orders?

[Chris Hogan]

Hi all,

Yeah, with or without extras the customs cost will be the same... and it works 
out (I think) at about $425 per phone - higher than the cost of an individual 
order (which falls below the $1000 threshold and so doesn't attract customs 
charges).

So the only 'savings' we're getting are the extras packed in with the bulk 
orders. If they're only worth (say) $20 each, it's not worth the hassle, it's 
just as cheap to order individual phones and the extras too if we need them. 

But if the extras are worth more, we still might saving money.

Hope that makes sense :-).
