View Full Version : VehiCross Aluminum Name Plates

One of the manufacturers I've used in the past makes these Aluminum Name Plates. After pulling tons of teeth I got them to agree to make me a couple of CUSTOM sets with our VehiCross logo. The idea is to mount these to your carpet, on a side wall... or you can get fancy and mount them recessed in a wall panel. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with mine, but they are really cool and I love them. I want to get more, but it seems like the same story... it's been a couple years since I had lots of custom stuff made and now they don't want to make more unless I have a minimum order. They want a min of 10 sets before they'd make another batch.


1975

1976


Just seeing if there is any interest...

They are about $15 per set (2 plates per set) plus a few $ for s/h...

Any interest??

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... The VehiCross logo on these plates is RECESSED into the aluminum. It isn't "flat", there is texture to these and then the ink is filled in. They must have used a computer/laser to make them with the precision that I see. They are really cool...

Those look awesome. I'm in for a set, preferably without holes drilled.

Nice Tyler :thumbup:

Can they be done un-drilled??

If so..two sets..one drilled..one not.

That's a great idea! I'd also like to have a set of drilled and a set of undrilled.

So I've got the ball rolling and will see what they say about undrilled. I will coordinate everything and will keep you guys posted...

What's the status on these? Do we need to start sending some moola?

UPDATE:

They cannot provide the plates without holes. All name plates will be with pre-drilled holes. I will be placing our order within 1 week. Before I place the order I will make sure everyone on this thread has a chance to order or to change their order. After that it will take 1-2 weeks for production followed by approx 2-3 weeks for shipping from China.

I will post how to send your money soon. It will likely go to my PayPal account.

Thank you for your patience...

OK, I had to work out a few details but everything is a go.

For each set of plates (2 plates per set), please send $15 to my Paypal using the friends option plus $5 for shipping (total of $20... plus $15 each additional set). I will cover the cost of the padded envelopes. Once they come in I will package everyone's set and send it out via USPS Standard Shipping with insurance to cover the cost of $15 per set. If you wish to have faster shipping please let me know now by the notes section in Paypal or by email (tysamigo@gmail.com). Once shipped, if your shipping is more than $5, I will send you a PM asking for the difference. Everyone gets the same discounted price.

On Paypal in the notes section, please include your name and shipping address.

I will be ordering a couple extra sets in case someone wants a set or 2 after the deadline. I'm hoping to have everyone's money within 1 week from today. Once I send him full payment he will start manufacturing. Everyone should have their set with 4-6 weeks from the time I sent him full payment. I'll keep everyone posted if there are any delays or changes.

My paypal email is:
tysamigo@aol.com

My email is
tysamigo@gmail.com

I was asked if I can ship via UPS. Yes. Since there is not very many people involved in this I have room to be flexible. If you prefer a different method, yes just let me know what you'd like and I'll help accommodate... no problemo :)

Tyler - if you ship via the USPS and use their priority shipping I believe the padded envelopes are free. That may be a cheaper option since it's a one price to ship.

It appears I had forgot to ask everyone to let me know on Paypal what your Screen Name is in this group since I don't know everyone by heart. Nonetheless I have figured out most everything. So far I have received payment in full from the following people:

1 Set Each

2 Sets Each

Jay Dunford
Shinte03

vt_maverick

I have also received money from 1 other individual but I can't list them above since I don't know their screen name yet and out of privacy I don't want to list their real name here. I have reached out by PM and email to clear up who I received the money from on this 1 case.

I'm still waiting for a few others. The sooner I get everyone's money in... the sooner I can have the plates manufactured. :)

If I don't get replies from PM by tomorrow, I thought I would go to each person's profile and send an email. Most everyone here is not in a hurry but at some point I want to get the ball rolling on getting these made...

I also noticed that some folks who originally ordered 2 or more sets, only paid for 1. But that is ok because we still have enough for a minimum order.

If anyone wishes to ADD to their order, by all means please do so...

Any Q's, let me know :)

FYI...

Each time I receive payment from someone, I scroll down and edit the "who's paid list" immediately. I check the paypal twice daily and will continue to do so until this weekend where I hope everyone has paid so that we can get our plates made.

UPDATE:

I have placed our order and have paid for it in full as of today. Production time is approximately 1 week. Shipping from Hong Kong is approximately 2-3 weeks.

When I first ordered these, it took about a month-ish for them to arrive. I would expect the same.

I will update everyone when I receive them. If you have any questions let me know.

Thank you

Just wanted to give you guys an update:

I received confirmation that our plates have shipped, leaving China Wednesday Sept 30.

China Post says:
Expect delivery
Friday, Oct 16, 2015 - Friday, Oct 30, 2015

tysamigo
10/10/2015, 02:05 AM
:clap: They have arrived :clap:

They came in on Wednesday but a busy week has held me off from sending everything out. This weekend I will prepare everything for shipment via USPS Priority on Monday. I will send everyone an email with tracking to the email registered with Paypal. If you'd rather I send the email somewhere else OR a PM instead then just let me know.

This was a cool project... so I have my own idea, but I was wondering...


What are you going to do with yours? I'd love to see the ideas :)

They have all been shipped today. I'll try to get around to sending out the tracking numbers after work tonight, but everyone should have USPS Mail by end of next week (probably much sooner).
