CSUSA Group Buy - Closed - Completed

[kent4Him]

The order has been sent to CSUSA.[] Hopefully, I will start receiving the kits next week and start the shipping process then. Thanks for all of you that ordered. So far, things have gone very well. I'll see after dealing with the shipping whether or not I'll ever volunteer to do this again.

Could all of you that ordered, send me your shipping address via email?

 

[kent4Him]

The first shipment from CSUSA is expected on Tuesday the 16th. I received word that the following should arrive at CSUSA by the end of next week:

Black chrome Panache rollerball
Rhodium Panache rollerball
10K Father Sing pen
10K Father Sing pencil
Chrome Artist Sketch pencil
Bushings for Sketch pencil

The 10K Americana rollerball are out of stock until the end of the month. []

I will ship the orders as soon as I have the kits available.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I received notice yesterday that the second shipment was sent and will be delivered on Tuesday the 23rd. That will leave only the 10K Americana Rollerball.

I shipped out the first two complete orders this morning. (GregMuller, eastern47) Should be there Saturday or Monday.

 

[kent4Him]

Boy, I got my new CSUSA catelog today. Looks like we did this at the right time before the prices went up. This will make group buys event more important.

 

[kent4Him]

The second shipment came in tonight. I will have the finished orders in the mail in the morning. Now we are just waiting for the 10k Americana Rollerball. Three of you are waiting on those kits.

Other than the back orders, things have gone pretty well. Thanks everyone for your patience and your orders.

Chris - Thanks for doing this. I'm really looking forward to getting these kits! I know that group buys must be a real headache - and I appreciate those folks who are organized enough and determined enough to make them work for less organized guys like me. []

BTW, I was able to snab a 12.5 mm bit off the fellow who was selling a 5 bit set on eBay - he must have had extras - 5 bits for $15 including shipping is a very good deal for HSS. [][][]

I'll let you know when mine arrives.

Best,
Roger Garrett

I checked with CSUSA about the Americana Rollerballs. They said there supplier did not include them, so they won't be in until the end of June. I am going to go ahead and ship the last three orders and will ship the rest when they get here.

 

[kent4Him]

Just received and email saying that the remaining kits should be into CSUSA by then end of next week.

 

[TexasJohn]

Chris - Thanks much for the update. Also, thanks for doing the buy for us. I will be anxious to see what these kits look like. I have not seen or turned any of them before. Texas John

 

[turff49]

Chris,
Just checking to see if the rest of the order made it in yet.Thanks much, Brian

 

[turff49]

Chris,
Any news yet on when the remaining order will be in? I figured they'd be here by now. Haven't heard anything from you either. Thanks, Brian

 

[kent4Him]

I heard from CSUSA yesterday. The kits arrived in Utah on the 14th, but for some reason, they are stuck in customs.

 

[turff49]

Thanks Chris. 2 weeks in customs.Geez, you think that pen kits wouldn't be so hard to get across the border. Drugs come across everyday. Maybe next time CSUSA should have the supplier mark the package as prescriptions. Keep us posted and thanks again for all the hard work on the group buy. Brian

 

[turff49]

Chris,
Any news yet? Can't imagine them still being in customs. Would really like to get these. What is CSUSA saying about it taking this long. Thanks, Brian

 

[Dario]

Brian,

I am not Chris but...if your items are with the same boat/container as my group buy...it should be out now. I am expecting to mail mine out mid next week...Chris probably will do the same. []

 

[kent4Him]

I received the shipment last night. I sent the remaining orders out today.

 

[turff49]

Chris,
You are the man. Really, thanks! My wife has been wanting one of the Americana's for awhile and I don't have anything even close. Hopefully these will satisfy her. Thanks Again!!!! Brian

 

[turff49]

Chris,
Just wanted to let you know I recieved the package just a few minutes ago. Guess I'll be on the lathe tonight. Thanks Again, Brian
