Ok interesting. I wonder if a large order would be more likely to attract customs charges. Then you're losing the shipping saving. Might be best to make small groups!
I just played with the Light Bicycle shipping estimator. Basically you stand to save about £15-20 on shipping if you at least pair up with another buyer. But then savings diminish as you add more.
Shipping 1x rim: .......................................£45
Shipping 2x rims: .....................................£53
Shipping 1x wheelset: ..............................£88
Shipping 2x wheelsets: ...........................£131 (£65/set)
Shipping 4x rims: .....................................£79(£20/rim)
Shipping 6x rims: .....................................£105 (£17/rim)
Shipping 3x wheelsets: ............................£219 (£73/wheelset)
Shipping 2x wheelsets + 6x rims...........£237 (£67/wheelset, £17/rim)

I’ve not paid any import/duty tax yet. They emailed after the order was placed to confirm I was happy for them to value the goods at $120 or so. I also went for the cheaper shipping and they got here in 5 weeks, for what it’s worth. I’m not sure whether a large order would be handled the same way though.
