Hirocks group buy?

[CH]

I've heard that reeferrocks is more porous, but I have no personal experience with it. It also cost about twice as much.
The Hirocks price does include shipping. I haven't been in contact yet to see if I can get a better price, so this cost is directly from their website - for example a 30lb box of the "best" is $52.00 shipped, which equates to roughly $1.75 per pound. Now that I look at it, if you get the 60lb box, it comes out to more like $1.55 per pound.
I'm thinking the bigger order we get, the better price we will get.

I will get all of the pricing taken care of in the next couple of days, and let everybody know.

Here are a couple of pics of the last order I got, just to show everybody.

Here it is in the box

Here's a couple of the better pieces.

You'll notice it's pretty dense, but it still looks good. Some of the pieces were very plain, but supposedly the "best" is, well, better

Hey Chris make sure to check ebay. He has a 60lb box of his best on his website for $92 shipped but you can usually win an auction and only pay $75 for the same thing. Like this http://cgi.ebay.com/BASE-ROCK-60LBS-Our-Best_W0QQitemZ7739270773QQcategoryZ20757QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

[CH]

oh yeah, I forgot about it being on ebay. I'm going to email him directly though, and see what he can do.

 

[huskerreef]

a lot of interest, is there a running total yet? I would take 2-300lbs of bigger stuff.

 

[huskerreef]

how you going to divide it up when it comes in.....will there be battles for the sweet pieces leaving someone with the scrap.

 

[CH]

I'm not really sure, I may have to go through and divide it equally first! In my experience, most of the pieces are pretty equal quality. I will probably order a bit extra, just to make up for some of the crap pieces.
So, I should put you down for 300? (big difference between 200 & 300)
With your 300, it puts the order at about 3 - 60# cases of the rubble and 8 - 60# cases of the "best", $886
Yeah, I will definately have to collect the money upfront for this!

Thought I'd chime in here a little bit. Don't want to get your thread to sidetracked but I bought some from reeferrocks and it is some awesome stuff. But I've heard that some of the stuff from hirocks is pretty good too, and quite a bit cheaper. You might want to check out reeferrocks, when I ordered mine I was trying to get a bunch of people together (they all ended up bailing) and if you order so much he will sell it to you for wholesale price. Can't remember how much iyou have to order though. Just thought you might want to check into it.

If you guys end up ordering through hirocks please post some pictures of their "best" stuff I'm curious as to how good it is.



Just thought I'd share a picture with you guys so you can see what the reeferrocks.com stuff looks like.

 

[huskerreef]

whats the final cost per Lb? and when do you plan to do this?

 

[CH]

Right now the cost is about $1.55 per pound on the good stuff, and about 0.85 on the rubble.
I am hoping to place the order in the next week or so, as long as it works out for everybody.

 

[Willie41]

Works for me. How much do I owe? Chris pm me your email address so I can send the picture you wanted.

 

[karenj]

Hi, Sounds great to me. Let me know where and when you want to be paid. Thanks, Karen

 

[rick051074]

Same here just let me know when you need/want it.

 

[Schenkelsteel]

I'm out...

got2lb sold me on the reeferrock
Final shipping of 55 lbs to my door is $2.32/lb & they will take
a picture of your order before it leaves so your happy and getting
exactly what you want.
I really don't want to put in anything too dense.

 

[CH]

Hey everyone, sorry, I've had a hectic week, and I kind of put some things off.

Ok, here is what I have so far for orders and totals:

Willie - 5lbs rubble, 10lbs best - $19.75
Fantasy Reefer - 30lbs rubble, 10lbs best - $41.00
KJ - 10lbs best - $77.50
abbalahdun - 10lbs rubble, 15lbs best - $31.75
KarenJ - 40lbs rubble - $34.00
kau cinta ku - 10lbs rubble, 50lbs best - $86.00
Rick - 30lbs rubble - $25.50
husker reef - 300lbs best - $465.00

If anyone else wants to add to the order feel free. I will place the order as soon as I can collect all of the money. I know its odd to pay for it up front, but I don't see any way that I can afford $886 out of my pocket to make the initial order. I hope everybody is comfortable with this! We can either meet someplace, or you can run by my house, or even mail it to me. Whatever works out for each of you.

 

[huskerreef]

hey chris i need to bail something has come up, maybe if you are still putting it together in a week or so I would be back in.

 

[CH]

Well, I can wait if you want me to. I really have no time frame in mind. I was just going to wait until everybody confirms and pays, and then go from there.
If you definately want in, I can hold off a bit, if not, that's fine too

 

[kau_cinta_ku]

yeah sorry i am also gonna have to bale as i was in an accident and am looking for a car so not sure when i will have the money or make it to omaha for that matter

 

[Willie41]

I'll mail you a check Chris. Thanks. Send me your email address so I can send picture of my hood on tank.

 

[rick051074]

KJ's seems a little expensive.

 

[CH]

Oops, his should be 50lbs of the best!
Sorry!
