Wondering if maybe something has happened to Elwin .....

 

[eharri446]

I am trying to get all of the worksheets entered into the master worksheet so that I can get the final prices.

Once I get those done, I will build the Invoices and get them into the email.

There were some who had issues with the worksheet, and sent me there information direct. I will have to PM those, to get the rest of the information needed for the invoices.

Since it is taking a little longer than planned for, I am extending the last date for the payment til the 25th of June.

As soon as I know the final prices I will update this thread.

 

[eharri446]

I apologize for the delay, however, work got in the way.

I will be out of town until Sunday evening, and I will get the invoices sent out when I get back then.

 

[senfschneider55]

Thanks for the update Elwin.

[magpens]

Thanks, Elwin. . I appreciate very much the mammoth job you are doing for us.

 

[eharri446]

I would like to apologize for not sending out the invoices last night I spent the weekend battling a summer cold. However everyone except for one member will get theirs tonight.

I still need some information from the remaining member before I can send them theirs.

The invoices will be sent as PDF documents so you will need to get the software to read them, or app.

 

[MTTurnings]

Am I that one member? with the missing info?

 

[brownsfn2]

I might be that one member too then. I did not receive and invoice last night. Maybe it is still coming though.

 

[eharri446]

I apologize. Yesterday evening a storm came through my area and due to it, I lost access to both my cable service and my internet access.

I will be sending them out this evening when I get home from work.

As a result, I will accept payments until Monday evening.

 

[brownsfn2]

No problem. I just don't want to be that "one guy".

I would bet "that guy" knows he is that guy.
Do a good turn daily!

Important

There was a mistake in the price for the M12X.8 taps. It was listed as $48.40 and should be $56.30.

In order to get it to the lower price, I need one more person to order the tap.

 

[eharri446]

All of the invoices except for 2 have been sent.

I have reached out to the those 2 members to try and get their invoices sent today.

 

[jwh1104]

I had sent a spreadsheet but didn't get an invoice or message

 

[eharri446]

Just a quick status update. I have received payments from all but two off the members who submitted spreadsheets to be in the group buy.

I have notified them individually via a PM, and as soon as I know what they want to do, I will notify the group.

If they opt out of the group buy, that may mean an increase of prices due to the sliding scale used by the vendor.

If they stay in and I get the payments, I will place the order as soon as everything is completed.

 

[hokie]

Any updates by chance?

 

[eharri446]

I am starting the process of submitting the order. I have sent a list of what we need to the vendor, and gotten confirmation back that the prices have not increased as of yet.

I should have everything paid for by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

I have to transfer the money from PayPal to my bank account and then either make a payment via a credit card, or send them a certified bank check.

Hopefully it should only take around 4 weeks to the get the order from the vendor, then I will get everything split up based on everyone's list, packed, and mailed in about a week.

 

[eharri446]

I have contacted the vendor and confirmed our order with them. I will be making the payment tomorrow morning. Once that is done, I will try to find out how long before the order ships.

 

[eharri446]

I have made the payment for our order and the vendor gave me a tentative ship date of the week of 8/20.

Once I get confirmation of the order being shipped I will post an update.

Once I get the order, it will take me about a week to get the item mailed out to each of you.

 

[RangeRat]

Thanks for the update! Now I need to order some nibs so when the taps show up I can get to work messing up my first few fountain pen sections!

Thanks for the update! Now I need to order some nibs so when the taps show up I can get to work messing up my first few fountain pen sections!

Recommendation -- I found it helpful to make my first few sections using clear cast acrylic acetate. Being able to see what's going on inside from the outside made life a lot easier. (I still use clear AA whenever I'm trying something for the first time.)

 

[Dieseldoc]

Very good point, I like it and will give it a try.

 

[RangeRat]

Thanks for the tip. I've watched a ton of videos and think I have a good grasp of the procedure, but it would be helpful to be able to see all aspects of the layout.

Very clever Duncan!

Very clever Duncan!

As they say, necessity is the mother of invention :biggrin: (not that I'm claiming to have invented the idea!)

 

[lhowell]

Hey Elwin! Just wondering if the order actually shipped 8/20 as the vendor had implied. Thanks!

... the week of 8/20.

... if the order actually shipped 8/20

Did they ship this week

Patience, Grasshopper -- the week isn't over yet :wink:

 

[eharri446]

I got an update on Monday and they are trying to ship them tomorrow. Have had any final word on the order shipping yet. I will let everyone know when they ship and again when I get them in.

 

[eharri446]

The order is being shipped today. I have the tracking number, however, it is not in the UPS system yet.

I will let everyone know when the order arrives.

 

[eharri446]

I received the package from the vendor when I got to my office this morning.

I will begin to prep the orders for shipping and should have them sent out by the end of next week.

Each of you will receive an email when the package is shipped with the tracking number if shipping via priority mail. Otherwise you will receive an email stating when the package was mailed.

 

[magpens]

Thank you very much, Elwin .

You can make my shipment the last, if you wish, I am not in a hurry

 

[Don Rabchenuk]
