Frag-a-Lot Lower Mainland Group Order - Now Closed!

[Ron99]

Anybody interested in a Lower Mainland group order?

[tikkle]

I am in

[Ron99]

Received some PMs too so 4 are in so far. The only thing we need to figure out is who can receive the order. I could receive it but folks would have to come pick up frags in White Rock that day as my big tank isn't set up yet and I won't have room for any extra frags in the wee ones I have at the moment.

[04scoobysti]

Im in

[plutoniumJoe]

I would be interested. I live in East Vancouver.

[Ron99]

Looks like we have enough interest. I'll try to work out the details by tomorrow. As for Receipt, KPG007 may be able to receive them (depending on the date of shipment) and float them in his tank for the day but then he won't be available for pick up until after 5:00pm.

Otherwise, I can receive them but I won't be able to float them in a tank. They will have to stay bagged and boxed until pick up.

If anybody else has the ability to receive and float them let us know.

[VFX]

I'm up for a group order unless you guys have enough already.

.

[Ron99]

Okay, I heard from Burc so we can go ahead. PM me or post your requests. Burc wants one single payment so you will have to pay me I guess and I'll send him payment for the whole order. Let's close this by Friday at noon? That way we can get our order to Burc before the end of the day Friday and try to arrange shipping for next week.

PM'd you for eleven (my wife's going to kill me) frags.
Cheers,
Matt

[Toxik]

Do you want payment before you make the order or when we pick up the frags? Is the group order big enough to get the free shipping yet? I think I'm game for 2-4 of the $10 specials as long as I can find room for them :biggrin:.

[Ron99]

We have more than enough frags for the free shipping I think so that should not be a problem. Burc will likely want payment before he ships the order :) I am trying to figure that out at the moment. I realized that if peoeple pay me by Paypal and then I pay Burc by Paypal I will be hit with Paypal fees on each payment sent to me and will end up short. I'm hoping we can each just pay Burc individually.

[originalozzyo]

Is it too late to get in on this, I definately don't want to miss this.

[Ron99]

We are taking orders until noon Friday so you will have until then to decide. Sooner is always better to ensure Burc holds the frags you want before they sell out.

[Ron99]

Hi Folks,

Burc has agreed to take direct payments from each of us so that will simplify things on this end and avoid anybody having to cover any extra Paypal or interac fees.

So this is how it will work. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT YET. As soon as I have confirmation from Burc regarding availability of all the frags I will get you your totals and you can send him payment. He will need your user name and the order numbers.

Again, please wait to hear from me with your totals and I'll send exact payment instructions then.

Thanks,

Ron

One please of #84

[Ron99]

One please of #84

http://www.fragalot.ca/newsh/frags/t3.jpg

OK, got it.

[icecool217]

Anyone know what #57 and #58 is?

[Ron99]

Chalice. 58 looks like bubblegum chalice. 57 may be UFO chalice?

[icecool217]

I want #57 and #99. I want other frags as well but put these ones on hold for me :D

[plutoniumJoe]

If we have PM'd Ron do we need to display our order here to reserve our frags?

[Ron99]

If we have PM'd Ron do we need to display our order here to reserve our frags?

PM is fine too. I have been keeping the list and updating Burc.

[Toxik]

I can't wait to get the corals now :mrgreen:

[trix25]

Ron99 you got pm :mrgreen:

[Ron99]

Just over 2 hours to go :-) Get your orders in now if you haven't already. We're doing well though. Over 100 frags so far.

Payment will be made directly to Burc once we confirm your totals. He takes Paypal, email money transfer (email interac?), and credit cards. Full payment instructions will be sent with your totals.

[hockey nut]

Wow!!!!!!

[icecool217]

that's a whole load of frags!!
so who's the one that ordered more than 50 :lol:

[04scoobysti]

Any news on when we can pay?

[plutoniumJoe]

With such a large order will they be able to be floated until they are picked up? Also might it make sense to split the order into 2 geographically provided it works out? If there are enough people in the Burnaby, Vancouver, North Van area it might save a trip to Surrey. Just a thought not complaining.

Might be a good idea.

Let's see what Ron comes up with. Either way I'm sure we can figure it out.

I like long weekends !!!!!!!! :)

[Ron99]

Hi Guys (and Gals),

It looks like Burc has enough of all the frags. The only slight problem is that he says he may not have enough 3" frags of #36 so some may end up being 2". If that is a problem let me know and we can cancel those out of your orders (for those that ordered that one).

Anyhow, I'll send out totals and payment info tonight as soon as I have a chance.

Cheers,

Ron

[hockey nut]

payment sent via paypal.

any idea when it's going to be sent Ron?

[Toxik]

I'm ok recieving a 2" piece of #36 if that's all he has.

[Ron99]

No shipping date yet. I guess it depends on how quickly all the payments are made. I still have to finalize shipping details etc. The recipient(s) will partially depend on the shipping date.

[Chowder]

Made payment threw paypal.

[imisky]

OMG am i too late?!

[Ron99]

Okay, I may have messed up the payment instructions. So if you haven't sent payment yet just hold off for a bit as I wait to hear back from Burc.

Sorry about that!

Ron

[Ron99]

OMG am i too late?!

Yes, sorry. Orders closed at noon Friday.

[Toxik]

Payment sent via email money transfer.

[hockey nut]

So what are we supposed to do about our payment? Was that the wrong e-mail acct ?

[Toxik]

Payment cancelled pending final payment instructions.

[Ron99]

Yes, sorry, I had the wrong email address for Paypal and forgot to add the GST :redface: My Bad!

New payment instructions and totals have been PMed.

Sorry about that folks. Just to much going on right now.

Ron

[Whiskey]

<-- Very Excited :)

Payment sent with GST to the correct address :)

[Toxik]

Ron99, thanks for organizing the group purchase.

Update:

Burc believes all payments have now been received but will confirm that for me tonight. He has been pretty busy dealing with Customs on a new shipment and because of the size of the order he would like to ship it on Monday. But he has offered us all a free frag from his new shipment as compensation for the delay :smile:

So we need to determine who can receive the shipment on Tuesday. I can receive it but will have limited ability to float frags if pick up will take a while. Who else can receive on tuesday? Another good suggestion was for two people to meet at the FedEx depot and split the shipment there. Surrey/Langley/Valley stuff can go one way and maybe Vancouver area stuff can go with somebody else?

Anyhow, let's sort out who is available for receipt and work from there...

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

If you can get the boxes to me from the Fedex Depot, I can probably float everything in my tanks. Have over 600g of tanks & sumps or about 34 square feet of heated surface area at my place in Burnaby. I can meet you at my mom's in SE Van and bring them over to my place for floating. Or just meet you at my place.

Let me know if that works for you. I can post my contact info so everyone can swing by to grab their frags asap once it arrives.

Anthony

[Toxik]

Ron99
Do you have a list of everyone buying frags and where they are from? I don't mind picking up frags for people in the abby area to reduce the amount vehicles having to drive out to Burnaby or White Rock, providing other members are ok with that.

I'll try to do that tonight or tomorrow. The plan is to split the order between Callum (in Surrey) and Anthony (in Burnaby) for pick ups on either side of the bridges.

[VFX]

Thanks for organising everything Ron.

Much appreciated!

As long as it's cool with Anthony, it'll be most convenient for me to pick up from his place.

.

[plutoniumJoe]

Ditto, Thanks Ron for getting things underway and doing all the leg work. I too would like to pickup form Anthony in Burnaby, if that is OK. What time do they usually arrive, any one know?

[Whiskey]

Any news on ship dates for this? Picking up from Abbotsford? Anyone?

Cheers :)

[Toxik]

I don't mind picking up for the Abbotsford and surrounding areas (Mission, Chilliwack, Aldergrove). I just can't float anything cause the tank it too small. I probably don't have enough room for what I'm getting.:lol:

[Ron99]

I'm just waiting for final confirmation from Burc about receipt of all the payments and to confirm the shipping day. I'm still hoping for Monday.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I'll be home all day on Tuesday (if the frags come in) & I don't mind having a bunch of people over. Once we know what's happening for sure, I'll post my address &/or phone number.

Anthony

[fragalot]

Hello Guys

Your frags are on their way too.

Thanks for the big order.

Burc

[Ron99]

Thanks Burc, We're all looking forward to receiving our new frags.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Everyone picking up from my place in Burnaby should have received a pm from me with contact info. If I missed anyone, please let me know.

I'll be home all day to receive and send out the frags to their rightful owners.

Anthony

[Ron99]

Also, just to let people know I probably won't be at Anthony's with the frags until about 11:30 am. If you go before that you will have to hang out and stare at Anthony's tanks (which may not be too bad either) :biggrin:

And there are a few changes in pick up location from the list I PMed earlier but I have it all straight here and will make sure the frags go to the right place.

[hockey nut]

For anyone picking up from my place I'll be home from work around 5:30pm. I will be taking the frags strait home from Fed EX to float them and then back to work. Pls PM me if you have any questions

Cheers
Callum

[hockey nut]

Shipment has arrived. All looks great. boxed well and warm.

[Snaz]

Houston the invertebrates have landed!

[Ron99]

Mine are floating in my tank now. Everything looks good.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Frags are at my place & floating. Mine & Marie's are in the display with good polyp extension already. Come and get them. I'll be staying at home all day to make it convenient for people to pick up their frags. Everything is comfortably floating in one of my display tanks so keeping warm & fuzzy.



Burc,

Good job on the packaging & shipping. Everything looks healthy with lots of polyp extension in the bags. Each person's order is packaged up so easy to sort out with names written on the bags.

May be organizing a second group order for those who missed out this time.

Anthony

[fragalot]

Thank you Anthony. I hope everything works out well. If anyone has DOA please PM me.

Sorry i couldnt reply earlier we packed over 1200 frags yesterday and today. It was very long 2 days..

Thank you all for your orders.

Hi Burc,

First of all thanks, (and also to Ron99, Anthony & Callum) for making the group order a fast easy procedure. Like others have said, pretty well packaged & conveniently arranged so that it was easy to part out.

Having said that, I did have a couple of issues with my order.

I pm'd you the details.

Anyway, thanks again to all for arranging this.

[plutoniumJoe]

Another big thank you to Ron for organizing, and Anthony for hosting the Burnaby order. I would definately be in for another order.
