Group Buy: Genesis Carpet Plates

[iolaus]

Backstory

After searching for logo'd plates for my Genesis floor mats I was unable to find anything. I contacted some sellers of similar items and found an ebay seller in China who is willing to manufacture them.

The manufacturer needed a graphic for production so I created one based off of the puddle light logo on the 2015 Genesis (below).

Product Details

Material: Aluminum Alloy
Size:110mm x 35mm(4.33in x1.38in)
Thickness:2mm(0.08in)
Weight:27g/pc or 0.95oz/pc
Logo style: Laser Engraving Technology

As an added bonus, according to this post on a MB forum, similar plates seem to fit nicely as replacements for the WeatherTech mat factory stickers. I'll do my best to confirm the sizing when my WeatherTech mats arrive this week.

Pricing

The price, quoted from the seller, is $32 per pair with a minimum order of 20 pairs.

That price includes shipping the units from China to my address. From there, I would simply charge the actual shipping cost of $5.75 (US destination) for USPS flat rate priority shipping to each buyer. A single flat rate envelope should be able to hold several pairs of plates without issue.

The total price for each buyer would then be $32/pair + $5.75 shipping. Please PM me for payment details.

Timing

According to the seller the manufacturing turn-around time is 7 days from when the order is placed. After that would be the shipping to from China to me (in Minnesota) and then the shipping time from me to the buyer (1 to 3 business days).

Do the weathertech mats have logos in the rear as well? If so, interested in 2 pairs. If not, interested in 1 pair

I believe the WeatherTech cargo liner does has a logo as shown below, not sure about the rear mats. I'll confirm when I get my mats.

If confirmed to fit weather tech mats I am down. I will check my rear mat if there was a logo plate

The rear mats don't on mine but the trunk mat does.
I'm in for three.

Just to clarify, the plates come in pairs (pricing provided is per pair). How many pairs would you like?

Any update on this?

Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from the local dealership yet which leaves the group buy well below the 20 unit threshold (currently at about 8). If I don't hear back from them soon I may investigate sourcing the plates locally to see if it is possible to get a smaller quantity.
