Custom Shoulder Pads Pricing Update

Hello Everyone,

Since Custom Minis got started, Custom Shoulder Pads have been the largest requested item to be created and ordered.  I've tried to keep these cheap and easy for you, but in the last month there have been a couple changes made, and it's time to share how the changes Shapeways has made to their pricing structure is affecting Custom Minis and you.  First off, Shapeways is now charging a minimum fee per item in their store.  In the past I was able to sell shoulder pads individually at $1.25, but they are now charging a minimum $2.50, which throws a single shoulder pad all the way up to $3.75 which is not acceptable for you or me.

Because of this I will be bundling Shoulder Pads in minimum orders of 20.  I have also decided to keep the price of the White Detail Material Shoulder Pads at $1.25, eating the cost of the $2.50 and keeping the bundle to a price of $25.  The Frosted Ultra Detail material will keep it's price at bundle price of $30 for 20. 

If you have any questions feel free to send me an email or comment.

Thanks!

Shapeways Price Changes

Update:

All prices on Shapeways have been fixed.  All single shoulder pads will now be using the White detail material instead of the Ultra Detail material.  For more information on White detail materials please visit the material page on Shapeways.

Hi everyone, I just recently received an email from Shapeways letting me know they were changing their Pricing on the Ultra Detail material to a five dollar minimum per item.  This changes was immediate and has changed all of the pricing for shoulder pads completely.  Basically making a single shoulder pad $5 + material costs. 

I will be working on restructuring the pricing method for all of the items I currently sale over the next week, and this will most likely cause a minimum purchase of each type of shoulder pad (10 pads) to make it echonomical for me to sale them and for you to purchase them.

I apologize for any problems Shapeways price change might cause over the next week, but the prices should be fixed and hopefully back to the normal level at volume by Wednesday, July 6th.

Thank you for your patience.
