Title: admin needs pager motors
Post by: Admin on September 12, 2009, 05:07:20 PM

I'm looking for two pager motors.

They *must* have the unbalanced weight on the end (most companies remove the weight before selling them).

Anyone got some to sell/give me? They'd fit in a normal envelop with stamp . . .

I'm trying to avoid the typical $7 shipping from an online store for $2 worth of tiny motors . . . ;D

http://pagermotors.com (http://pagermotors.com)

I have some. But this is a link that sells them... But I'm assuming that you've been to that place.

(MangoBot, are you sure you saw pager motors at RadioShack? None on their site search)

But motors are not paper. Regular envelops (#10) are meant for paper. Shipping little bits of metal could damage postal machines.

I hear this all the time. What should a business charge for shipping be for a $2 item?

I can send it via envelope, most likely within one of those bubble wrap type ones. Just send me a message with what's needed.

It may just be a one off thing for that store, so they wouldn't put it on the site.

But I guess it's the shipping you are trying to avoid.
