This buy is focused on obtaining the maximum kit quantity discount of 25% plus the CSUSA "club" discount of 13%. This is a very limited buy. This buy is open to the first 10 respondents to this thread OR until October 21 at 11:59 P.D.T., whichever occurs first.

REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE:
• There is a minimum purchase of 10 Artisan kits AND you must be willing to work with the restrictions listed below.
• PM me to get in – first 10 in are in.
• Also reply to this tread so others know when the ten is met.

DEADLINES:
• First 10 respondents with at least 10 Artisan kits
• Spreadsheet must be returned by Sunday October 21, 2012 (Midnight – CST)
• PayPal (only payment option) by Monday October 22, 2012 (Midnight – CST)
• International orders will NOT be accommodated

PAYPAL ONLY:
I will be placing the order on Wednesday October 24, 2012. If you have not made the PP payment by that time scheduled above I will drop you from the buy. I will confirm your total via PM as well as my PayPal information once I receive your order back. Please do not sign up and then not follow through, it knocks someone else out of a chance to participate.

SHIPPING:
Will be defaulted to $10.85 via USPS Priority Flat rate medium box (within USA). It will include tracking and delivery confirmation. For smaller orders that will fit the small priority box, I will refund the difference in shipping. Likewise, if you have very large orders, it 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.

KITS AVAILABLE:
For the 25% discount, we need to reach a 100 kit minimum from the Artisan kits only. Apprentice kits follow a different discount pattern, and will not be included in this buy! (The extra 13% discount is based on the total order dollar amount which I am sure the buy will exceed). I used a previous group buy spreadsheet but did go through and update any price changes as well as a couple of plating differences. However, any changes or inaccuracies will be corrected when order is placed with CSUSA. I believe the spreadsheet is accurate, but will not make up any differences if I have mistyped or transposed numbers. I will confirm your total via PM with appropriate discounts after all order sheets have been returned to me.

Only items listed on the spreadsheet will be included in the buy. Tubes and bushings for the kits will be included. No other items will be included.

There will be NO backorders. Out of stock items will be refunded without any questions. I have called to confirm with CSUSA and they have a large quantity available right now of all kits, so this shouldn't be an issue, but please understand if it happens.

DOMESTIC INSURANCE:
I do not require that you pay for insurance but I highly recommend it. I will not be responsible for what happens to your order after it leaves my control. You will receive confirmation of shipping, but once it has left my hands I am not responsible for it. If you desire insurance then PM me and I will calculate the cost.

The attached spreadsheet (Pen Kit Spreadsheet) will calculate your total cost for pens including both the 25% and the 13% discount from CSUSA, provided the dollar amount is high enough. The total cost of the buy must exceed $1000 after the 25% discount is applied in order to qualify for the additional 13%. If we do not exceed the $1000, it may be necessary to reopen the buy, but I do not anticipate this to be a problem. You will notice that the spreadsheet includes 2 small fees: a handling fee and a fee to cover the PayPal costs.

I hope these terms are acceptable to everyone, and please feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns.

Again, please indicate your NAME and IAP USERNAME on all payments and correspondence. I will PM you if you are one of the first 10 to respond "I am in and will buy at least 10 kits." I will give you my email address to return the spreadsheet to. There is a new block at the top of the spreadsheets. It requires:

Your IAP screen name
Your "real" name
Your email address

If these fields are not filled out accurately, the spreadsheet will be returned to you!

Post in this thread that you are in with at least the 10 kit minimum. I will PM to confirm and send you my email for you to send the filled in spread sheet back to me. These requirements are intended to be very specific. If you have any questions PM me right away.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark, I had indicated an interest in participating on Monday. I would like to be a standby to join this group if you have any spots open.

We are still on schedule. Order was placed. One issue- The Aero Click Pen Black / Titanium / Chrome is back ordered. When I asked for estimated in stock date it was mid-January. I do not want to keep this open that long - so the Aeros above where not ordered. I will work out the refund when I ship. I will send a check.

I will let you know when I ship.

Got everything last night except the back ordered Aero kits. I sorted them out and have them ready for shipping either today or tomorrow. The good news is the only order that I messed up was my own. I will send individual emails with tracking when I send out the packages.

Thanks,
Mark

Everything is shipping tomorrow. You will get trackingnumbers at that time. The Aero pens were back ordered (only one plating) so I cancelled them They are expected in in January and I did not feel like holding open until then. I refunded your money in the form of a check. It is in the amount of the kits minus the 13% taken on the bottom - so you are even, One set of bushings did not come in and I credited that person also.

Please let me know when your orders come in so I can completely close this out. Two already have their orders - so I assume everyone will be either today or tomorrow. Thanks.

Everyone received their packages (one to still confirm content - when they get in town). I am considering this post closed and I thank everyone for replying to my emails and posts. This was rather painless for those who want to run one. I also want to let you know dealing with Craft Supplies on a mid size order was flawless. Thanks all.
