In my absence

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been around, I'm still working on the group but, I've been in and out of the country, and I don't have Internet access a lot of times. Anyway that's the scoop, I do have a total on our shipping services, and I'll be able to update everyone about a week from now when I have a computer. I'm typing this from my phone. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Send a PM to Rot, because he locked the thread. I know there are quite a few of us wondering whats going down?

The thread will NOT be unlocked until I get some answers first... no matter how long it takes...

No amount of begging or coersion will change my mind... I'm waiting for responses and will wait...

Any of you guys have a prob with that... come into chat and talk to me...

PS. @N80G80... It's nothing personal... I just want to resolve a few things first... Consider the bulk buy on HOLD until then...

I know you have the best intentions Rot, never questioned that

in before this one gets the inevitable lock

Rot,

It would be nice if you would just let me know about this mystery email. I have been a good member for a number of years now, and I already have done one group buy, that went fine. Please just at least pm me some details. I should have Internet access for the next 3 days

N80G80 are thier any cabs left? Either a new versus city or a new astro city because I have the money and I need a new candy.

It seems a legit email... so I decided that the prices there were a tad low and a large discrepancy from the prices offered in the Bulk buy.

Therefore... before the lads caused a bit of grief... I'm starting to look into shipping costs and potential customs fees for a bulk buy from excellent.com...

You indicated you were selling at COST price... I don't mind a bit of profit being made in all fairness... seeing as you've had to arrange the whole affair... but the discrepanices in price are TOO large for me to ignore...

I have NO personal or monies invested in this... I'm just looking after the community which I feel is the right thing to do...

THAT'S why the bulk order is on hold...

PS. Seeing as you've asked and TBH... I was sick of explaining the same thing to everyone... you might as well have my thoughts on all this eh?

Rot,

That's the correct supplier. I believe my prices were quoted close to that. However there's another $8k in shipping and customs, and I'd require 3-4 storage units for 1-3 months (where I live in the city not very cheap) I was also purchasing new sticks and buttons for everyone that purchased a cab. I think if I sold every cab not including the 2 I was going to keep it gave me like $1-1.5k roughly. That said the last time I did a bulk but I lost 6 cans in transit to damage, or they had non working parts. I took a bath last time, and was trying to avoid that this time. DevilRedeemed and myself both lost money on the last bulk cab purchase. Anyway, that's pretty much it. I'll check back tomorrow, should you have any further questions or concerns.

That does sound about right with pricing however you also talked about damaged cabs. Do you not insure the deliveries (cross ocean and cross country) against damage? On items like these it is a no brainer depending on the price quote.

I hate to sound like a broken record but if this is still on I NEED A NEW CANDY!!! THE EAST COAST NEEDS MORE CANDIES!!!

I haven't gotten a response from anyone yet. I may not have Internet access the next 3 days. You can insure the shipment, but it doesn't work the same way as regular shipping, it's not like you can just go get a new cab. Anyway, I look forward towards some response.

Cool once you guys have more sorted out let me know if you have ANY available candies.

Hello...

Just to say... just got an email from excellant.com with projected shipping costs... it was complicated but i figure each cab is gonna cost about $450usd each... I think...

You're more than welcome to figure it all out...

I find that a reasonable sum... sorry for teh inconvenience lads... but I assume you're pm'ing like a crazed monkey on heat sorting out the bulk buy...

PS. I will unlock the thread now... just take the usual buying precaution lads eh...
