Update.

8 of 15 brewers are paid up.

One brewer needs till the 15th which is understandable given I know Valentines day is going to cost me some dough...

I'll keep letting everyone know how we are doing.

Should take about a week for delivery.

Don't forget to mark as a "gift" and ..
"Here's the important part...• Under the amount box, click the "Personal" tab.
• Select "Gift".
• If you are paying from an existing paypal balance, or from your bank account, no fees will be charged. BUT... Paypal charges transaction fees for anything that is paid for with a CREDIT CARD. If you are paying with a credit card, you will have the option of selecting who has to cough up the money for those fees. Do not push those fees onto the buyer. Suck those fees up yourself.
• In the area at the bottom where it allows you to type in the custom text for the email that buyer will receive, be sure to include your name, as it appears on the spreadsheet (your homebrewtalk user name), so that buyer can track who has paid and who hasn't.
• Then send the money and chill out.


So far a couple people have not done this. I'm not worried about $5, but hopefully everyone else can do this. Paypal charges my account a fee if it is paid with a Credit Card.

I love you guys but I'm wanting some discounted grain too!

Tealio, IF I'm one of those that you got hit with a fee (with the invoice I didn't have an option of changing to a gift), then lemme know how much you got hit for and I'll send it to ya.

 

[tealio]

Yeah I don't know since I sent invoices if you can mark as gift or not.

No worries. But yeah it was $2.49 so if you want to throw me a couple bucks at pickup I won't deny it!

I'm going to send reminders on thursday if we are still waiting on payments from anyone.

Sounds fair. Try to remind me - my memory sucks.

Update!

All but two brewers have paid up.

Rack04 has made arrangements for tomorrow.

Waiting on Deuce and PantherCity.

I sent them out some reminders to email and PM's so hopefully in the next day or two we will be ready for the big order.

Talk to you soon!

Almost time to start talking pickup plans!

Sorry for the delay, we switched offices last week so it was pure chaos here.

WOO HOO!

Sounds like everyone is accounted for now!

 

[mdgreens]

paid!

 

[tealio]

I called and it didn't go as well as I was hoping.

The last email I got from them said we were ready to go, now they are requesting more info... Not sure why it is so hard to just pay someone $1500 up front and get a pallet of grain.. Maddening

Time for a strong beer.

Fingers crossed we will have an order on the way today or tomorrow.

 

[RyanWeary]

That is pretty frustrating. I appreciate the continued effort though!

 

[Runyanka]

Hopefully it comes soon, I just ordered 6 lbs of hops to go along with it. thanks for the work!

 

[bubbachunk]

Darn just missed this, though I live in Fort Smith, still probably worth it for a weekend trip..

 

[tealio]

Sorry for the delay guys, but I worked through the issue hopefully. They are once again setting up the account... Once they email me I will order right away.

 

[Ravenshead]

We're having trouble with Country in Houston too. Something about needing a business tax id and credit card in the business' name. How'd you get around it?

 

[tealio]

So far waiting to here back. Jumping through hoop after hoop. I'm on a mission though.

 

[jeffast]

Looks like I missed this one. I am in Austin, would be happy to get on one of these from DFW, or possibly Houston.

[tealio]

If either of us can get through the hurdles... we are still waiting, sorry group! Waiting to hear back over the weekend has been crappy.

Thanks for being cool everyone! Hope to have news this week, but if not we will vote it out.

If we can complete this order, future ones will sure follow!

 

[jhw_murphy]

Are they not letting us order?

 

[tealio]

The last rep I spoke with said she was forwarding my info to corporate to have the account setup. That was Friday so if I don't hear back today or tomorrow I will email them again.

 

[TXCrash]

I wonder if a phone call to corporate would speed things along?

 

[Runyanka]

I am going on vacation in two weeks, do you foresee this happening before then? I would hate to be out of town for a week and not be able to pick up my grain.

 

[TXCrash]

Deuce, if no one's closer to you than me and if you can't make it I can grab your grain if you'd like me to and hold it for a week or so if needed.

Tealio, any updates? Thank you for organizing this... I thought we'd already gotten an account set up? Have you tried calling those responsible for same?

 

[Frogger42]

I'm in for a bag or two of Rahr 2-Row if we can ever get the order together

 

[Frogger42]

Realized i might have missed this one

 

[40watt]

If they cooperate, you have to think it won't be long until we do another one.

Can you tell that part of my job is being a squeaky wheel?

Tomorrow has come and gone - have we received an update? If you need help being a squeaky wheel lemme know what I can do.
