CSUSA Group Buy - waiting, waiting, waiting

[sbell111]

5/21- I've received the first couple of boxes from CSUSA. I'm almost done inventorying them. They did not include an item or two that they stated was in the shipment, but I'm sure that they will straighten out the issue quickly.

As most of you are no doubt aware, there was a problem with some of the barrel trimmers in Daniel's group buy. The company is shipping him replacements, but they will need to be shipped out individually to their owners. Rather than Daniel eating the cost to send those out to each affected person, I suggested that he send me the ones that belong to people that participated in the CSUSA group buy and my barrel trimmer group buy. That way, he'll only have to pay to have those trimmers sent to me and I can send them on to you with your order.

In order for this scheme to work, I'll likely need to delay shipping some of the CSUSA orders for a few days. I'm confident that this won't be a problem for most of us because it will help out someone who has helped all of us out, but if there is anyone in this group buy who is also awaiting replacement cutter heads from Daniel and does not wish for his/her order to be delayed for a couple days so their CSUSA and replacement trimmer head can be shipped together, please let me know.

OK, I think I'm ready for this group buy. You are welcome to order whatever you want, but I've only put pen/pencil kits and accessories on my list.

I've created a spreadsheet to aid in this group buy. It can be downloaded at www.flipdrive.com. Sign in as user 'Groupbuy' with password 'turner' and click on 'My Drive'. The file name is 'Pen Group List(1)'.

Once you have downloaded the file, all you will need to do is enter the quantity of each item you are purchasing in column F and add the appropriate insurance amount from the included table (at the bottom). The spreadsheet will calculate the exact amount that you owe (assuming that you live within the US). For international shipment, use $21.85 (the base, regular, online flat rate) as your shipment amount and we'll settle up if it's off. For US shipments, use $8.95 and I'll refund you if it's less.

If you do not want to be bothered with my spreadsheet, just list what you want and I'll calculate the amount you owe.

The miscellaneous costs are as follows:

1% for insurance from CSUSA to me.
$0.31 + 3% for PayPal.
Shipping from me to you, as explained above.
Insurance from me to you, calculated based on cost of order, as follows:
$1.65 ................ $0.01 to $50
$2.05 ................ $50.01 to $100
$3.45 ................ $100.01 to $200
$4.60 ................ $200.01 to $300
$5.50 ................ $300.01 to $400
$6.40 ................ $400.01 to $500
$7.30 ................ $500.01 to $600

These charges are all calculated by the spreadsheet, or I'll do it for you.

Here are the items that are on the spreadsheet with discounted prices:

I'd appreciate it if you are patient with me. This is my first group buy and I'm going to try to work my life around it.

Edited on 5/3:

The plan, for now, is to end this group buy next Saturday.

Good catch. I fixed it above.

The truth is, I was pretty tired. I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are other small errors.

 

[altaciii]

Holy cow, that looks like a whole lot of work, great job! I'll see what I need and then join. Thanks

Steve,

With regards to ordering items other than pen kits will there be a discount associated with these items also?

Regards, Steve

 

[1JaredSchmidt]

How long does the group buy go for?

 

[1JaredSchmidt]

Ha! A dangling preposition.[][}]

I figure that we should be ready to submit an order by the middle of the week.

If CSUSA offers a discount on them and we order enough to qualify, they'll be discounted. If that happens, I'll refund the amount of the discount to any affected person.

Steve,

Can I use some gift certificates I got at Christmas to pay? Thanks in advance either way.

Mark

 

[PaulDoug]

Looks like you need excel. Is there a way to order if you don't have excel?


Didn't know anyone knew what a dangling preposition is anymore. Good for you!

 

[stevers]

How about the Jr. Gent II?? Thats the one I turn. I dont see the "II".

I've never used a gift cert from them, but I assume that it has a code that you enter when ordering online. I assume that you could use it during a group buy. We'll try it and I'll let you know if there's a problem.

Just post what you want and I'll do the math.

BTW, Google docs will allow you to access Excel spreadsheets. However, I locked some cells out of the one I posted. I don't know if that will affect Google docs.

The Jr Gents listed are 'IIs'. Does anyone still sell the previous version?

 

[Darley]

When would be the closing date, I would be interested to order few things

When would be the closing date, I would be interested to order few things

I was thinking about ending it on Wednesday, but have decided that next Saturday <s>(5/8)</s> (5/10) would be better. That gives everybody an entire week to put their orders together and pay.

Saturday is the 10th. The 8th is Thursday which one do you mean?[?][?]

Ok, I've entered my order on the spreadsheet, how do I get that information from the spreadsheet to you? Copy and paste here on the forum?

You can email it to me at <s>XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</s>. Use grouppenkits@gmail.com for emails. I'll send each person a paypal invoice, so you don't have to worry about that.

By the way, if people could include their IAP username in their emails and when they pay by PayPal, it would really help me out.

&lt;Edited to update with a better email address.&gt;

Hi Steve;
thanks for the spread sheet, it makes shopping easier to compute what SWMBO will allow me to spend. Once we e-mail you the order, I'm assuming you will e-mail us back with your pay-pal info?
I'll be sending my order soon.

I'll send you an invoice.

Didn't know anyone knew what a dangling preposition is anymore. Good for you!

You can also use OpenOffice to import and export Excel spreadsheets. It is free open source software, and can be downloaded from openoffice.org. I've been using it for a couple years now without major complaint. Works well, and I like the price.

Steve, PM sent with order.
Thanks

I assume that you meant email (since I don't know how to PM). If so, I haven't gotten it yet.

As soon as I do, I'll send you a PayPal invoice and add your order to the master spreadsheet.

Mitchm has me freaking out that my crappy old comcast account is bouncing people. Therefore, I created a gmail account for this group buy.

The account name is grouppenkits@gmail.com

My primary email is gmail and it never bounces an email, so I'm confident that this account will work well for our purposes.

 

[mitchm]

Apologies for freaking you out Steve. Not my intention! I have resent the email to the qmail address.

No worries.

Gmail flagged your email as spam, so perhaps my junky comcast account blocked it. Either way, all is well.

I just sent you your PayPal invoice.

 

[mitchm]

Thanks Steve, PayPal payment made.

Mike

 

[1JaredSchmidt]

I have g-mail too. I love it. I'm trying to get my order in.

Does C.S. have something equivalent to the Sierra [?]

Thanks

Does C.S. have a pen equivalent to the Baron or Navigator kit with a good finish?
Thanks,

You'll want to check out the Jr Gent II, Jr Statesman II, and Jr Retro kits.

I don't think so.

I'm going to try the broker pen as a replacement for the sierra myself.

The broker pen is a nice kit, but it does have a couple of drawbacks. It is a heavy pen for its size and the turning mechanism to open an close the pen will cause the clip to rub against the wood on the pen. I've made a number of these pens and I personally like them.
