Sep 20, 2011 at 11:39 am #1781229I'm interested in some. I don't want 4.5 meters, but I'd be in for about two depending on price and color
Sep 20, 2011 at 12:03 pm #1781238Price would be the main determinant but I would be interested in 1-3 yards preferably in black
Sep 20, 2011 at 12:06 pm #1781239Pm sent
Sep 20, 2011 at 12:37 pm #1781255I'm interisted, but need to know a price before i commit. I'll send you a PM. Color isn't a huge deal if the price is right.
Sep 22, 2011 at 6:53 am #1782029I would be interested in a meter or two if that helps the order and it is not too expensive. Never really played with the stuff so it would be nice.

Sep 24, 2011 at 4:45 pm #1783140Care to share how much the 9meter order from Cubic Tech cost you?

Sep 24, 2011 at 11:30 pm #1783286smells like chicken of the sea, but ill bite… HOW MUCH PER YARD ARE YOU CHARGING?
Sep 24, 2011 at 11:50 pm #1783291FWIW, there isn't a lot of margin when cuben is sold by a manufacturer (ie. Zpacks, QuestQutfitters) unless maybe they are getting a super deal if they buy 99 yards or more. Even then, I doubt the margin is much more than $5/yd. Usually if you buy 9 meters from Cubic Tech and pay shipping (perhaps twice) then you're not saving much. The main advantage is you can get the color and weight that you want, while online sellers don't have everything available.

Sep 25, 2011 at 2:42 am #1783311So you want me to contact the mfg for the price YOU are charging… does that really make sense to you? give us YOUR per yard price and what you charge for shipping…
also, isn't cubic-tech the ONLY manufacturer right now?
If not, please provide links to somewhere else that's the OEM for cuben, sorry if I come off as brash, but your post has me confused I suppose…
but PLEASE POST YOUR PRICE PER YARD and shipping. If you dont mind…
Sep 25, 2011 at 8:08 am #1783357It seems pretty obvious that the OP was only buying 9 meters from Cubic Tech, and arranged with a few people upthread to go in on the buy. All of it was spoken for, and the OP made the purchase. I didn't get the impression he has any extra, or is offering any material for sale to anyone other than those who originally went in on the buy with him. I might be curious about the price Cubic Tech offered him, but as I missed out on the buy, it really isn't any of my business…
Sep 25, 2011 at 11:07 am #1783413Yes, the nine meters of fabric are all reserved, I will let you guys know if someone quit.
There is a registration process I need to go before I get the price list from the Cubic Tech, I don't want to get into any trouble to post their price list. Hope you folks can understand!
Cubic Tech is the only manufacturer as far as I known.
I am very sorry if my posts have you confused.
Sep 25, 2011 at 11:15 am #1783416Ruohao,
I was unaware that you were bound to a non-disclosure agreement to not distribute their price list. I'm in the market for some Cuben and was simply trying to find the best deal. I thought you could help in getting me an idea of the cost. I'll contact Cubic Tech on my own behalf.
Thanks
Sep 27, 2011 at 1:26 am #1783905I'm must missing something on this one… what was the point of your offering if they were spoken for?
or did the first posters get your "deal"
Sep 27, 2011 at 3:34 pm #1784108First posters were the ones that got in on the deal. Pricing from cubic wasn't that bad. But shipping made it a little pricier for a group buy. imo.
Sep 27, 2011 at 3:40 pm #1784111The minimum buy is 9 yards.
The OP wanted to buy.
The OP needed less than 9 yards.
He let other people go in on his buy.
The order was placed.
People will get their cuben and life goes on.
There never was any for sale, it was spoken for before the order was placed.
There was never any offered as a "deal" , the deal is you could have gotten in on the order, and bought less than the minimum 9 yards you would need if you wanted to order direct yourself.
Sep 28, 2011 at 12:31 am #1784295FYI, I got this price list from Cubic Tech just before they started with the non-disclosure agreement. If you want color is an extra 10% on top of these prices, and I assume 2011 prices are up a couple percent for inflation. You also need to pay them to ship it to you, which is probably reasonable if you are in the USA but they want like $150 if you're in Canada.
