This thread will be kept open throughout the buy to facilitate communications related to the buy. Please set up a subscription so that you'll be notified of any updates.
You should have also received a PM from me with my email address and PayPal info.
As previously mentioned, this group buy is focused on getting the maximum quantity discount possible for any pen kit style, by purchasing a total of at least 100 kits. Remember, the minimum purchase must be 10 kits for each group buy member.
Discount Process: BTW has a process they call Mix & Match that is used to calculate quantity discounts for pen kits. By purchasing a total of 100 kits, we will qualify for the maximum discount possible for any pen kit model. You can read BTW's Mix & Match Information Page for a detailed explanation of how this process works.
I am not willing to order other kits/projects at this time, but tubes and bushings that fit the kits you order can be included. There is NO discount on tubes. Most bushing sets are discounted $1 each if 2 or more of the same type is ordered.
PAYPAL only....I will be placing the order no later than Friday, September 30, but will do it before then if I have all the information, and payments in hand prior to that date. Must have PayPal funded by Thursday, September 29, 11:59 PM Eastern US (avoids the midnight/AM/PM questions! I know we have a few sticklers running about). If you have not made the PP payment by that time I will drop you from the buy. We are all big boys and girls here and I should not have to remind anyone to send the PP payment.
SHIPPING:
Will be defaulted to $10.95 via USPS Priority Flat rate medium box (within USA). It will include tracking. For smaller orders that will fit the smaller priority box (within USA), I will refund the difference in shipping.
If you have very large orders, they may not be able to fit into one flat rate box. I'll give you my best estimate on shipping once you place your order and we'll go from there. USPS now has the large priority mail flat rate box for $14.95 which is 50% bigger.
PAYPAL FEES:
PayPal fees will be $.31 + 3% of product & shipping total.
Shipping and Packing Materials:I will add a 1% fee for shipping and packaging materials.
International Orders:
There may be additional shipping and/or Paypal fees associated with international orders. I will contact you to clarify any additional charges you might be responsible for.
Selecting Your Kits
Download the attached spreadsheet. It has sections for you to include ALL the information I will need to process your order. There is an instruction section, a section for entering customer info and your insurance option, and a final section for entering the pen kits you want to purchase.
You will need to complete the spreadsheet, and email it back to me ASAP, but no later than September 16. Use your IAP username as the name of the completed spreadsheet (i.e. timbo.xls).
The subject line of the e-Mail must be – BTW Group Buy September 2011
• Include your IAP name at the top of the e-Mail.
• Don't forget to attach the completed spreadsheet.
Payment – Once I have everyone's list, I will calculate your total, including S&H, insurance if selected, and paypal charges. I will send the product list and totals to you to verify. If you agree with the product list and totals, please process your paypal payment ASAP. I will not place the order until I have everyone's payment.
NO Backorders. See that little dot, it's a period. Out of stock items will be refunded.
Domestic Insurance:
I do not require that you pay for Insurance. But I also will not be responsible for what happens to your order after it leaves my control. The domestic insurance charges are below. Shipping cost is not included when calculating insurance costs.
$1.80 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.30 ................ $50.01 to $100
$2.85 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.75 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.80 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.85 ................ $400.01 to $500
$7.90 ................ $500.01 to $600
For those interested, there is enough information included in this post to allow you to get a pretty good estimate of what your final costs will be. Assume you'll be getting the highest level discount for the pen kits you're considering.
I hope these terms are acceptable to everyone. Thank you
Please indicate your NAME and IAP USERNAME on all payments and correspondence.
Thanks for playing....and thanks to others like Jon and Mannie who I stole and modified their spreadsheet and write up from previous group buys.
So...........here we go!
