About the sample gift of chuck keys

Sorry, I was busy with other things some time ago and interrupted the promised gift. It will be launched today.
I will not set any conditions and do not require any return. I will explain the items and original intention of the gift.
1. These gifts are samples I made and tested. The material is 42crmo. Some of them are not heat treated, and some of them are simply quenched and blued.
2. Most of the samples fit well, but the appearance may have coordination defects. I will test the tightness of the fit (but there is no guarantee that it will be satisfactory to the recipient).
3. I will send photos for confirmation after confirming the model and size required by the recipient (the recipient needs to provide an email address to receive the pictures).
4. JOHN is required to charge 35.00CAD on my behalf (after everyone receives the gift, please notify JOHN, and then JOHN will transfer the postage to me). As the cost of mailing, it may exceed the actual cost, but it may not be enough. If there is any left I will use this as a reserve for future free sample mailings!
5. I will send sea freight to JOHN in the next few days, so friends who are very close to JOHN can contact JOHN directly to receive gifts (you need to pay sea freight - the freight is about 7.00CAD/kg, and the weight of the gift is about 0.5-1kg).
6. The number of gifts is 8 (including a complete set of tool heads, handles, etc.).
7. I know that the domestic express delivery fee in Canada is 20-25.00CAD. I think if the cost of sea shipping is added, the final cost will be almost the same. Therefore, for friends who are far away from JOHN, I will mail them directly.
8. I plan to accept international customization in the future, so this, this is a testing process, please forgive this utilitarian purpose.
10. Regarding the 11mm keys in the Amazon warehouse, the original plan was to sell some of them to friends on the forum at a very cheap price, but because Amazon’s rules do not allow low-price competition, I cannot change it to a very low price. Therefore, if anyone needs it, after purchasing 2, I will give away another set of split keys (I will bear the express delivery cost <1kg).
11. My lack of experience has caused me to have too much inventory of a single model, only 11mm. Long-term inventory will increase the cost of warehousing a lot, so I hope to reduce some inventory quantities. So, please introduce your friends to buy it and enjoy my gift as well!
12. If you have any better suggestions, please leave me a private message or send me an email: [email protected]

Friends who want to get one of the 8 gifts, please contact JOHN, I will accept JOHN's statistical form!

I think you did an excellent job of explaining how all this works and what your intentions are.

I think we can all appreciate the difficulties you face bringing your products to market.
 
Agreed - thanks for the explanation. Your efforts to improve your product by sending out samples is commendable.
It is difficult to get a small business going even when speaking the same language and on the same half of the world.
Good luck aSmile!

Aside comment (which seems rather relavent to aSmile’s efforts) - A good friend of mine had a very successful small business. A colleague commented that he had been lucky. He responded with “yes, the harder I work the luckier I get”
