For those on the invert order

[cschweitzer]

We are getting it air shipped for early afternoon on Tuesday, June 19...this means hours in transport instead of a day. It is going to be a lot of items and separated, which means a lot of boxes. We are not getting charged box fees or shipping fees, so the cost is just for the animals that you are purchasing. I have a list of everyone on this deal so far and will repost it with totals. I have heard from most everyone on it saying this date is good, so we will confirm it. I have already put in everything and will be paypaling her tomorrow, so if you are out for some reason, please tell me SOON!!

The total was over $600 of stuff, so I'm taking on a load...just don't leave me without word. Sorry to anyone else that I could not help...but the good news is that you are more than welcome to contact them directly and can start another group order of your own. Shipping is pretty cheap in state anyways if you can't get over the minimum.

FINAL LIST:
ME!!! $152.50
mr.ocean $60.95
crombie15 $9.50
Lutefisk $34.60
ben&bobbi: $58.55
sttaylor $46.60
firefighterbryan $23.65
Mrs Smith $34.00
namwodahs $53.25
Bacchus_fl $78.55
venom00viper $38.75
tangers $60.75


If anyone has a problem with this total, thinks I did incorrect math, their total doesn't equal this, please contact me and we will resolve the issue. I have a list compiled of every item that everyone purchased all itemized on a spreadsheet and will send you an itemized list if desired. I am not above making mistakes, so please check with me about any questions in billing. I will ask for cash or a check(that doesn't bounce) when you come pick up your stuff...if you would rather pay via PayPal, you can, but must incur the charges that I will have to fork out(reason being is that if everyone did this, I'd be out over $20). I just sold my skimmer, so I have the money to cover you until you show up to get your items, but I cannot be held responsible if you do not pick them up on Tuesday or make prior arrangements. I will however do my best to keep your items safe, but just don't let this happen without previous contact PLEASE!!

Thank you so much for doing this. I will be there next Tuesday afternoon. Just need to know a time and place. I'm not very familiar with the side roads in Orlando so you might want to pm me directions or you address so that I can map it.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ben&bobbi]

Thanks again for everything. If you get "stuck" with extras let me know as i would be willing to pay for some extra if it comes to that. Hope that doesn't happen but want to lighten the load if it does. What time works best on Tuesday for you?

[crombie15]

[cschweitzer]

Hey, if it comes in too late and you can't make it Tues, I'm sure we can work something out. I can hold your items for you if they don't come in on time...

 

[namwodahs]

Thanks for putting this order together! See you on Tuesday.

 

[venom00viper]

Thanks again. But I think I am going to take off tues! I'm excited!

 

[cschweitzer]

Just got this e-mail, so a couple people may be down an item or two. I will look back to find the last person to place their order and will contact them. May work out to where they can get everything, but not positive yet. Right now we are down by one mated pair of coral banded shrimp and maybe a polyp or two of the blue ricordia. Everything else is still set.

"Just wanted to touch base with you. Still trying to get your order to you on Tuesday. Right now I have 2 mated pairs of coral banded shrimp. The 3 blue polyps might have to be singles. The rest of the order looks good so far.We will fill as much as the order as possible and than work out the rest. I will keep you posted."

Here is the e-mail:
Hi Craig,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I have been packing an order for dfwmas in Dallas TX. This is a large group order that consists of over 25 people. I started packing around 1pm and am still finishing it. Just to give you an idea, just like your order I am packing it individually and their order was well over $1600. It has taken me longer than expected. Unfortunately, our airport closes at midnight. There is no way I will be able to ship your order tonight for tomorow. I can ship tomorrow afternoon for for tomorrow night pick up, or if there's a better day that is convenient for you, please let me know. Again I am very sorry, I didn't realize how time consuming this order was and I had every intention of shipping you today. Thank you so much for your understanding and please let me know what is best for you.

Unless too many people call me before 12pm tomorrow, I will proceed to have it shipped for a later time in the same day: Tuesday June 19(tomorrow). If this is inconvenient(I know a couple people may have some issues), I will do everything in my power to resolve them one way or another. I know this is horribly inconvenient for many, as it is for myself(seriously), but I would still like to try to make everyone happy with this order, since I feel responsible since I started this whole group buy. Trust me, I let them know that it was upsetting and inconvenient to me and everyone in the group buy.

 

[Lutefisk]

My schedule is relatively clear for Tuesday but he mentions shipping Tuesday afternoon for Tuesday night pickup.

Do you have any idea what is meant by

I can ship tomorrow afternoon for for tomorrow night pick up

What timeframe would that be?

I posted this here because I think it would be important for others.

I'm sorry you got stuck in the middle of this and I continue to be appreciative of what you're doing.

Thanks,
Paul

 

[mr.ocean]

Same question as Paul. What time are you thinking?

 

[cschweitzer]

Good point, Paul...I've been trying to get back in touch with them to get this information and a lot of other information. I am trying to get it out really as early as possible, but with all the bagging they will need to do, I'm fairly certain they will not have it out too early in the day...I personally wish they/he/she/whoever would wake up as early as possible to start packing, but to tell you the truth, I'm not sure they'll do that. I will post information as soon as they give it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be much after dinner time...then again, I really have no clue right now. Everything's ready to be bagged, just not sure when. Trust me, I am not happy about having all this on me anymore time than it has to be.

I will make sure everyone is as happy as possible, but I am pretty sure I will not be putting anymore group orders together for a while...this is just way too much hassle(not any of your faults at all...I'd like to stress that point). With that much money looming over me, I need to make sure everyone is still on board or off before I make another move. I am too broke to end up with $500+ in extra inverts(less the people who have already confirmed for tomorrow).
