Looking for the Travel Bezel for the Ultrabay Slim Drive on a T4x laptop. I am located in Canada, looking for someone willing to ship through postal mail.
Please send me a PM if you've got one to sell

I must have a collection of hen's teeth and not have known it. I used to throw them out by the dozens with the boxes before realizing they were NOT packing material

, then I gave away a bunch. I'm sure I still have some around. Maybe I could sell them for enough to put my cats through college?

I recently purchased a travel bezel from Yak (Brainpicker). I found him to be honest and reliable.
If by chance he does not have any, you could call IBM parts at 800-388-7080. The part number for the bezel is 13N5108. The bezels were rather affordable but the shipping charge was twice as much as the part it self.

I can check for the part here in the netherlands. I pay no shipping costs. And shipping something like that from the netherlands to the US costs almost nothing. What did you pay for it?

I believe the part was around $8.70 US. The fore mentioned phone number gives you an option to use an automated system to price parts, assuming you know the part number

that's 8.70 without shipping right? what is it with shipping. than I can look and see if it's cheaper to order here and to ship it to you from the netherlands. I believe the part is like 3 to 4 euro's here (inc. shipping).

I live about 30 miles from the parts warehouse in Boulder, CO. If I remember correctly shipping was about $15.00 via DHL. I seem to remember that DHL was my only choice for shipping, but things may have changed.
All said and done, I paid $23.70.
I know, I know but I wanted instant gratification and I was willing to cough up the cash.

The automated part pricing service rocks! The bezel you're talking about cost usd 8.16, and I'm going to try with the hard to find localized keyboards !
