8/29 update: All orders shipped. Some of you may be seeing then today or tomorrow.
8/30 update note:
Since some of you are getting them now, I'm sure you will be checking them to see how they work. You may have some concern as I did when I first put one in a bottle as I was used to the Berea type stoppers and the tight fit they had. I e-mailed Ruth and this is the response I got:
While I was waiting for that response from Ruth, I popped a stopper into two different bottles. One of those bottles was a commercial bottle and the other was commercially made for bottling wine at home. The bottles were filled and layed on their sides and turned upside down. In both bottles, not a single drop ever leaked out. I was really amazed considering how easily the stoppers fit and how they seemed to have a lask of seal. I felt like I could have been a magician at that point and decided to show my wife the trick. :biggrin: She was equally amazed. :biggrin:
8/26 update: The stoppers are here and counted out. I am in the process of making all the address labels and will start shipping tomorrow. I'm not sure how many I can get out for tomorrow as I just got home from school. (kids' orientation was tonight)
Group buy is closed. All stoppers have been ordered and I have been told I will have them by Wednesday. I'll start shipping packages by Friday.
Since there is already more than enough interest in the stainless stoppers from Ruth Niles I am opening up the buy. The buy will be open until the 20th which is 2 weeks.
Stoppers will be from http://www.torne-lignum.com/stoppers.html and right now will be the #301 with the 3/8" x 16tpi threaded stud.
Pricing on the site is: (our current price in blue and has been changed to reflect the probable current discount)
1-9 $5.95
10-19 $5.70
20-49 $5.40
50-99 $5.20
100+ $4.75
200+ $4.60
In addition, there is an extra price break past 300. Since some people usually back out I would just count on the 200+ price right now. What I was thinking of doing if we get additional discounts is to donate the extra $.15 per stopper (according to 300+ pricing or whatever discount we get above the $4.60 price) to the IAP fund. That would be at least $45 on a 300 order. I hope this would be acceptable to everyone.
Cost will be $4.60 each plus $5.30 for postage ($4.80 me to you plus $.50 for getting them to me.) and Paypal fees of 3% +.30. (cost + postage *1.03 +.30) If you would like insurance, add appropriate cost to the total BEFORE you figure out Paypal costs. -insurance will be based on cost of stoppers alone without shipping. If you would like to avoid the Paypal fees PM me and I'll give you my home mailing address. If we go even higher it is likely we'll get an additional discount. I'll figure that in when I request payment. For those in Canada, I may be able to use a flat rate envelope which would be about $9. I also estimated a 2lb package to Canada and it was about $8.50. I don't have an actual weight though, so everything at this point is a complete guess. I'll start sending out totals and payment information on Sunday now that I know what we'll be paying per person.
Insurance fees
$0.01 to $50 $1.70
50.01 to 100 $2.15
100.01 to 200 $2.60
200.01 to 300 $4.60
300.01 to 400 $5.55
400.01 to 500 $6.50
500.01 to 600 $7.45
I added everyone's name from the guaging interest thread. PMs and/or e-mails have been sent out to everyone so far.
