Anne buys two VW hubcap clocks

Hi,
I found your shop and think your VW hubcap clock would make an excellent gift for my brother, a VW mechanic. Can you explain to me the difference between your various VW clocks? I notice that they have different hub caps identifiers. VW love began with my Dad’s first car purchase in the ’60′s (a Beetle) and has continued through us kids. I’m wondering if my brother would recognize the differences and relate to one VW hubcap clock over another.
Thanks!
Anne

 

VW Hubcap Clock

nice!

I thinkhe may like any of them. however, what was the exact year of that first VW bug your father bought? I can probably match a hubcap clock to the hubcap that is used. if it was a 60s’s bug, it was probably a type 1 hubcap which I have alot of.

Great! He had a ’69 beetle and later a ’74 bus. If you had a hubcap from either, that would be fantastic, if not, I think any would be great. Which listing should I order?
Thanks!

Ordered! By any chance would you have two? My Dad’s birthday is around the corner.   If you have another, could you group the orders and send together?
Thanks!

Hi Bryan,
The clocks were a big hit. Unfortunately, we lost the number 3 on one of them. Would you let me know where you purchased the numbers so I may purchase a replacement?
Thanks,
Anne

Shoot . . . I can just mail you a 3. Which clock was it? I probably have an extra one around.

Was it this one?

Corvette Hubcap Clock

Jan 24, 2012

I ship by USPS 3-day priority mail to US addresses. I can have the Corvette Hubcap Clock in the mail tomorrow if I have payment by tomorrow noon PST, which would put it anytwhere in the 50 states by Saturday via your post man/woman. If you order later than that I could still probably swing it, but call my cell so that I know to check my incoming orders.

If need be, I could fedex 2nd day. I think that is about 29 dollars. Last pick up is around 6pm.

Jan 24, 2012

Ok. I’ll send payment now

Easy Peasy. I am in Spokane, WA.

If you order now, I ship  the Corvette Hubcap Clock tomorrow, and you will probably have it by Friday via your postman. However, it is only guaranteed to arrive by Saturday via my regular 3-day priority USPS shipping.

If you want quicker shipping, send me by paypal an extra 15 dollars, or if your budget is tight an extra 5.00

Or I could just change the cost of shipping the hubcap clock on etsy listing to cost of 2nd day fedex.

Thanks so much for your help. I just sent payment. Party isn’t till Saturday night so I think I’m good! Thanks again!

Katie Buys a VW Hubcap Clock

I am considering this VW hubcap clock for my father’s birthday gift. I currently live in Oklahoma, but I have family in Spokane and my father lives in Kennewick. If I decide to purchase this item, would I be able to have my sister in law pick it up tomorrow or Saturday instead of having it shipped to my father?

Feb 2, 2012

That would probably work. If I am around and I have the VW hubcap clock ready, it will work for sure. That way you won’t have to pay for shipping. I would reduce the sale price for you, or just refund the price of shipping afterwards.

My name is Bryan Burke and my cell is xxx xxx xxxx. It is just three blocks south of Huckleberries on the South Hill. Your family will probably know where that is.

You could choose between 1) 59.99 for the VW hubcap clock and box for it or 2) 65.99 for a clock, box, and a frame built inside the box to hold it securely in place. I always build the frame inside the box when I ship, but it may not be necessary for your needs.

Feb 2, 2012

Yes, it will be available to pick up the VW hubcap clock Friday afternoon, or Saturday. Saturday might be best, but I can accommodate friday if that is best for you.

Katie

Hi Bryan,

I used to live in Spokane and I love Huckleberries, so I know where you are! If Saturday is best for you, what time? My sister in law works Saturday, but my brother may be able to pick it up. Is there a certain time Saturday that would work best?

I will pay for it right now, if you want to refund shipping later.

Thank you!

Katie

Feb 3, 2012

Earlier afternoon would be fine for sure. Other times would work as well.

Actually, you could probably pick it up around 5pm today. The thing is I still need to glue the numbers on the hubcap clock , and it would not be fully dry. You could still easily transport it, however, especially if I put some tape over the numbers. If that is okay with you, today between 6 and 5 pm is fine.

You are welcome to give my cell to your sister in spokane.

I’ll have them pick it up tomorrow, I don’t think they can today anymore, so that will give it more time to dry. Do you want them to drop by your place or meet you at Huckleberries? I’ll give them your #.

Thank you,

Again!

Mustang Hubcap Clock for Tiffany

I need a photo of the mustang hubcap clock you would ship, it’s for my Fathers birthday so I need it as good as possible. He collects Mustangs, and I am in Calgary, Alberta.  How long to ship?

Mustang Hubcap Clock

Hi Tiffany,

Let me double check on the clocks and picture, but it should not be hard to meet your wants.

Regardless, I can ship witin 24 hrs of payment when I am requested to do so. I use to ship to Calgary fairly requently, and I remember it taking 5 business daysor less using US International Priority Mail. The post office says 6-10 business days, but I don’t remember it taking that long. I live in Spokane,WA, just over the boarder from you.

However, for an extra ten dollars I would ship via Express international to arrive in 3 – 5 business days, probably three.

Hi Tiffany,

The picture of the mustang hubcap clock that you referenced is of a specific clock that I have in stock. I have a couple that are in great shape, and a picture of them would be indistinguishable.

If you order by 2pm today Wednesday PST, I can guarantee you that I can ship today Wednesday by US International Priority Mail.  The post office says that it can delivery within 6-10 business days, but from my experience it takes no more than 4 to 6 business days to reach Calgary from Spokane, WA, most of the time. (If you pay/order online by later than 2pm today wednesday, I may still be able to ship the same day, but give me a call to alert me that you placed an order.)

If you want delivery of the mustang hubcap clock by Express international to arrive in 3 – 5 business days, probably 3 business days, let me know and I can immediately arrange for $10 more in shipping charges on Etsy.

Laura buys a Porsche Hubcap Clock

I am interested in a Porsche hubcap clock. What is the difference between this one and the one that is $5 more? Do you have pictures of what it looks like as the description says this is a stock photo?

–Laura

 

Porsche Hubcap Clocks

Hi Laura,

Both of these hubcap clocks have some light surface scratches that can be see up close (three feet away). The one porsche hubcap clocks that sells for about 84.99 has a few less of these. The one that sells for 69.99 has heavier scratches that can be seen from ten to fifteen feet away.

Neither is that big of a deal since most clocks are looked at from ten to thirty feet away. It just depends on the look you want when you take them out of the box or when someone walks up close to get a better view of the unique clock. Some like the more used, antiqued look. Others want a more exquisite look. I charge more for the ones that are closer to perfect because I can. : – )

However, keep in mind that a 60′s 912 porsche hubcap in mint condition would sell for up to 300 dollars . . . for just the cap, no clock. All the clocks I sell are definitely from used hubcaps, but they all look pretty nice for $100 or less.

p.s. I did not bother to take a different picture for the two clocks you mentioned because my skills as a photographer are not good enough to capture the differences between them. If you held both in your hands, you could tell. In two pictures you could not.

I just purchased the $84 porsche hubcap clocks. I put in the notes that this is a gift and sent the address of where I want this shipped. Please let me know if this is a problem. Thanks – Laura
