KurtB I'm in schaumburg, so if needed could pick up your order and get it closer to you.

If this does not happen this weekend, I may have a problem picking up next week/weekend. If the pickup gets pushed to next week, hopefully somebody that lives out in the western burbs can grab my order (its just 1 sack of grain), and I can work out the detais with them to pick it up. I live in South Elgin, but work in the Villa Park/Lombard area.
Thanks,
Kurt

Looks like 5 people still owe. Randar is targeting end of the week for funds to Bill for palate #4. Excluding that subgroup, the remaining buy has 91% of the money collected.
Yes, I have collected about half of our funds and we have a club meeting Thursday where I plan to collect as much of the remaining as possible.
Hopefully I can put a cashier's check in a fed-ex envelope to Bill on Friday.
so looks like delivery on Friday is not going to happend, Bill do you think its better to plan it for next Friday 27th or you would prefere to get it in the middle of the week (assuming you collect all founds).
I would prefere Friday delivery Saturday pickup as i can be there on Saturday morning and help with hops and grains but if you go with midweek delivery i should manage to be at your place on delivery evening (7-9pm probably)
I feel like we have all had ample time to respond with payment so far. Those who haven't paid yet let us know their circumstance and a projected date of payment. That being said I don't really care to wait any longer than it takes for "Randar" to collect his payments to process the order. With that response I don't see any other option but splitting the delivery charge among the remaining buyers, so I'm OK with paying my share.
I would like to see the order come to an end sooner than later, so I wouldn't mind a division of the $22.50 amongst each buyer. Another thought (which may not seem logical from the organizer's end) is to open up the purchase of those ten bags. If they can be PAID for by the time Randar is done, people can acquire up to those ten more bags. Whatever shipping cost on bags that haven't been paid for by the time Randar pays can also be split amongst us. I could be interested in a bag myself.
I sent a second email to astronomical a few minutes ago. If his payment is not submitted by the time that Randar's payment is received, which should be on Monday, then the group needs to decide if we keep waiting or just drop him from the buy. He ordered 10 bags so the delivery charges on his order ($22.50) would need to be made up by the group. What's the group consensus on this?

I thought of that option as well, but I figured that once the quote came back the items were fixed. So we would have to purchase the exact order, and not switch anything out because that would change the pricing and we would have to ask for a new quote. I'm not sure if that is correct but I just figured that the quote was for any exact order and any changes to that order would require a new quote.
I would say the delivery charge should be split as a % of the size of an individuals order....maybe that's just because I got 1 item though...either way it sounds like people want to move this forward.
I'd take the golden promise.

His HBT account shows no activity since July 9th, so he may be traveling?

KurtB said:I would assume the actual items would have to stay the same as well, but if anybody needed:
Pilsen Light DME, Oat Malt, Maris Otter, Golden Promise, Pale Wheat, Distiller's Malt, Rye, Pilsen, Flaked Oats, or Flaked Corn
they could simply work it out with bmason to have him move that item to their own order. This would be the best solution. If all 10 bags could be claimed and paid for, then there is no problem. If they cannot, the shipping charges go up for everybody else, and the extra bags still would need to be cancelled off of the quote/order.
In the event the shipping charges went up a lot, I would agree with RC0032 about splitting it as a %, but with roughly $22 being split among 40 or so people in the group buy, it is not worth the extra time to calculate it as a percentage ($.50 or .60 per person is not a big deal in my mind).

RC0032 said:Thanks for everything Bill! With a buy this large its getting to be a PITA.
bmason1623 said:I think we should keep a running tab of who wants how many bags. First 10 (I think that's astronomical's quantity) that get added *and* paid are in. start the tabulation now, gents.
