PLEASE READ!!!!!!
Everyone. I have recieved two e-mails so far concerning cutter heads that the set screw hole does not run completely through the head. one attempt has been made to drill and tap the hole and resulted in a broken tap. please check you rheads and e-mail me if you have any defective ones and how many. I will do my best have them replaced.
Package arrived thursday afternoon. I went in for oral surgery friday morning. (Had ten teeth pulled at one time) am snapping back really fast so will start sorting and packing today. I hope to mail all packages on monday. (gonna get hit withthe posage increase but think I will still be O.K I just need to adjust how I mail them. Most of you look for a padded envelope rather than a priority box. large orders will still be mailed priority regardless.
I got an e-mail from Rizheng that says our package will go in the mail on may 4th.
There is a problem. Rizheng cannot fill the order for cutter heads until the end of the month at least. I told them not to ship it unless it was complete. so there will be a two week delay in this order being shipped, at this time. will post here if there are any further developments.
Order Placed 8:15 P.M. 4-15-08
Update 4-14-08
Well I guess I will just have to call this one off and suffer the barrage. it is looking like the orders are nto going to stop so I am calling this one to an end tomorrow night at 7:00 P.M. pacific time.
Sorry to anyone that gets cut short but the shear size of the buy is starting to demand that it closes.
thanks everyone, I had a lot of people suggest that the demand for pen mills was getting pretty high. I had no idea how right they where. I started this hoping I could get 20 orders and barely sqeek one thorugh. as of right now there are 88 orders not counting the stuff I am getting for a total weight of about 55 lbs. most of that weight is cutter heads with 341 being ordered so far. the rest is mainly mill sets with 70 of them in the book.
Update 4-14-08
First, orders are still coming in so I am not closing this yet.
other news
in a shocking turn around, Rizheng has shown they can and even will do what is right. The reversed there decision that had me ready to dump them as a supplier. Basically they where starting to make a decision that I know would not be Okay with the members of this group.
You are all honest and ethical, You expect the same from our suppliers, and Rizheng was very close to breaking that trust. In short they started to stiff me for a mistake they made. After doing some checking they changed there mind and are going to do the right thing.
My biggest problem was deciding to do business with a company that I know each of you as individuals would chose not to do business with. with well over 70 people in this bulk buy it was really hard to think about canceling it. In short this bulk buy is larger by double than any buy I have done before. I was sort of between a rock and a hard place there for a bit but it looks like it will all turn out well.
Important development. I hate sounding like the used car salesman that says buy it now. But there is a situation that has risen that may cause this to be the last bulk buy I will conduct from this company. I am in the midst of resolving it so will not go into detail at this time. I just wanted to give everyone fair warning. There is likely not going to be a next time.
Update 4-13-08
Today will be the last day this buy will be open for orders.
I plan to actually place the order tomorrow evening. that will be the cut off for making changes or cancelations.
Update 4-11-08
Please check the list below and make sure that I have you credited for your payment if it has been sent.
There where a couple of people that needed to mail me payment. In the shuffle I have lost track of who so please let me know if you are one of them so I can make note of it on my master sheet. That way I won't be hassling you for payment in a day or two.
I will keep this buy open for at least the weekend. It is now saturday morning for the people in China, so the soonest I can place the order is sunday morning my time. Unless orders pick up again I will close this Sunday and place the order. Please have your payments in asap. with only 9 unpaid orders I will place this as is regardless.
There have been a couple of hickups reagarding payments. Do not worry your order will still go through and the glitches will get resolved so do not think you have to rush to get it fixed.
what a great turn out in new names. I am really happy to see that.
Update 4-9-08
There is plenty of interest in this group buy so It will be going through.
I will keep this buy open until requests slow down and no longer justify waiting.
Payments will be made by pay pal to
daniel@yourdonspens.com
If you want to do your own math from the prices and charges below. GO ahead and send payment.
Make sure I have your address. and can match your payment with your IAP username.
otherwise I will e-mail you with the total for your order.
I have received a few e-mails asking if I have any mills left over from the last group buys. I have also gotten one e-mail outright asking that I do another group buy for them. So I am testing the waters to see if there is enough demand to conduct another one.
For now please just post the items and quantities you would like to get. it needs to reach 100 heads or so to make these prices work.
