CSUSA October 2013 Group Purchase

[killer-beez]

I lost count of how many are in but if there is room I would be in for at lease 10.

 

[southernclay]

Don't worry if you didn't get in on this buy. I can tell you there will be another the first of November.

Hey Monty to clarify and thanks for the heads up as well, will it be a CSUSA buy in November? If so I will hold onto the spreadsheet for a guide to be ready for it

 

[The Penguin]

Yes, Monty told me he was planning an early November CSUSA buy.

Please DO NOT hold on to this spreadsheet for the next buy. I've been informed there is a set of tubes not on the sheet, prices may change, etc. Plus - I'm going to tweak a few things before I pass it on to Monty.

 

[southernclay]

Thanks and you got it. I'm in on the November buy thanks for handling this one

 

[The Penguin]

just in case anyone is wondering - there are officially 31 people in this buy

I have received 12 of the 31 orders.

totals so far: 285 kits, 11 bushing sets, and 61 tube sets have been ordered.

 

[The Penguin]

Hello people - I've been out all day (visited our very own Wizard, and then went and cut up a bunch of pecan logs) - so I'm catching up on entering the orders that came in while I was out.

As of right now - the following people are "in" the buy - but have not submitted their order:

I believe I have sent totals to everyone above. If your name is above and you have not received a final total from me - please let me know.

thanks all!

 

[The Penguin]

All payments are in, the order has been placed. I wasn't able to get it in first thing this morning as intended, but I did get it in before the shipping deadline for today.

they say I should have it by Monday at the latest.

 

[longbeard]

Thank you Shawn for the update, your time and effort.

 

[ChrisN]

Thanks for the update. Just out of curiosity, do you mind sharing some stats about this buy? How many products, total cost, etc. Just curious!

 

[The Penguin]

off the top of my head, 741 pen kits, + assorted bushing sets and tubes

total after discount was $8200-ish

and I've got another 100 kit order I'll need to place with them next week for a commission I'm getting firmed up this week. I couldn't nail a price down before I placed the order today so I went ahead without it.

 

[The Penguin]

pen kits, what pen kits? I'm going to the Bahamas!

:biggrin:

 

[plano_harry]

Just go down to the ship channel - it is almost the same and easier to get to Plus by Monday you will want to go home.

next time I volunteer to conduct a group buy for this many people - someone remind me to have my head examined!

:biggrin:

I'm sorting packages, counting and re-counting...and I have pen kits left over!

since tomorrow is a holiday (but I still have to work) - my goal is to have everyone's package in the mail on Tuesday.

 

[rkimery]

I might be interested if kits are in fact left over. Let me know the kits.

[The Penguin]

that's why I'm double checking EVERY order.

I also think CSUSA might have shorted me a few kits. I was up very late last night sorting, so it could be an "in-house" error. :biggrin:

 

[The Penguin]

Good morning all - I figured out my sorting errors last night - and it just figures out of 30+ orders, I found the error in the last few that I re-checked.

everyone is boxed up, tonight I'll tape them closed, print labels and drop at the post office tomorrow morning.

 

[kovalcik]

Thanks for all the work. I can't imagine sorting through close to 1000 items and getting them all in the correct piles.

[The Penguin]

everyone's packages were dropped at the PO this morning except for Scotian12.

almost all packages were sent using Regional Rate boxes, and I think all will arrive on Thursday or Friday. SteveG may be the exception since his goes to Hawaii.

 

[keithbyrd]

Shawn,
Thank you very much - I appreciate your willingness to work on this and provide a perk to others!

 

[LL Woodworks]

[longbeard]

Yep, a little too late, but if you keep watching the group buy forum, should be another early november
