Closed, closed, closed.
A group buy is now open for pen kits from Craft Supplies USA.
This group buy includes pen/pencil kits only, no other projects, no bushings, no drill bits, no finishing supplies, no blanks or anything else. The only exceptions for pen/pencil kits are the two limited edition kits, plus the copper Jr. Gent II, which are not offered for a group discount.
I intend to keep this group buy open for exactly seven days from the date and time of this posting, but reserve the right to shut down the buy at any point if it is growing too large. Likewise, if there is insufficient interest to be able to obtain the lowest prices, the group buy could be canceled entirely (not at all likely).
By participating in this group buy you will be able to obtain CSUSA kits for a 25% discount from the single kit purchase price, the Apprentice kits are only about 10% discount.
I've created an excel file with the product numbers, descriptions and group buy prices of all of the items available in this buy. You can download the spreadsheet from this post. To use it for ordering just fill in the quantity you want and it will total. I prefer that you use the spreadsheet, but if you don't want or are unable to use it, you can just include the information in an email or even post it to this thread, but in either case you must provide the CSUSA product numbers.
Payment may be made by check, money order, or PayPal. If you are using PayPal, the fee is 3% plus $0.30. The PayPal fee is on the spreadsheet, if you are not using the spreadsheet please make sure you add the fee. In all cases please submit your orders and wait for my response/confirmation before paying. Any excess funds will be donated to IAP.
International orders will be accepted, but the PayPal fee and shipping will be different. Send your international orders and I'll respond with an estimate for PayPal and shipping and then send your payment.
Shipments will be made by USPS flat rate packages. Up to 25 medium (Sierra) sized pen kits will fit into the smallest flat rate box which will cost $5.00 to ship. I could probably get about 20 Jr. Gent size pens in a $5 flat rate, about 30 smaller pen kits. If your order is for more than that, the next size box will cost $10.40 and it will easily hold 100 pen kits. The spreadsheet calculates the shipping at $5.00, if you are ordering more than will fit in a small box, please change the shipping to $10.40.
I have made a stock status check and everything is in stock as of the day of this posting. It is possible that there will be sellouts before the group buy is placed. If there are backorders I'm willing to accept late deliveries and ship any missing items when I receive them (you will have to pay for shipping twice or wait for all of the items arrive before shipping). If the items you ordered are backordered I will let you know as soon as I know. I'll also cancel the backordered items and refund your money if you would like.
You must comply with all of the forum requirements for group buys, specifically you must provide your name, screen name, email, name on PayPal account, snail mail address and business name if you are having it sent to your business.
Please let me know if you find any errors on the spreadsheet or have additional questions.
