Does anyone in LA near the LA port want to split up 1 cubic meter amount of Ytong shipped from China that I can order from Alibaba? I already have the transaction paper. I just have to submit a payment. I am ordering the ytong to make Myrmecocystus formicariums.

 

Supplier: Dongyue Machinery Group Co., Ltd.

 

Total cost with shipping is $192; we can split this cost into two. We will each pay $96.

 

These Ytong blocks come on a pellet; the pellet is already included in the total price.

 

The transaction paper is signed and sealed by the seller and ready to go once I submit a payment.

 

Order Number: 19855139501024931

 

Each Ytong Block Dimensions: H: 600 mm W: 300 mm D: 100 mm Grade: 05, 06

I didn't realize you could get it shipped to the port and just pick it up there for that low of a price. I imagine you would need a truck they can load the pallet onto. I wonder what the hardness of those are.

Yeah. I was surprised myself since I've searched through many websites and everyone seems to have trouble finding Ytong in the U.S. Not only that, this is my first time ordering from Alibaba and first time picking up products from a port. I believe they wrote some where that the pallet cost is included, but I'll have to recheck again. I don't have a truck, but I was going to stack them up one block at a time in the back of my Mazda CX-5. I would assume since they are AAC, they are light enough for a sedan to even carry, but my car can carry 800 lbs max, and the 1 cubic meter ytong is 1146 lbs. As for hardness, I have no idea, but the only info that may be related to it is Average compressi... 3.5 ~ 5N/ mm2. My 2 issues with this transaction are that my car may not be able to fit/carry 1 cubic meter worth of Ytong due to space and weight, and having too many that I don't need or won't be using, and thus I wanted to split up the Ytong and cost with someone.

I"m thinking about it. I'm just so busy. Sounds difficult to coordinate too.

I can go on 11/08 or 11/15 or 11/22. I am easy to coordinate with as long as it is a Friday.
