Seriously, I miss one day here and the "deal of 2011" unfolds right before my eyes
smackhead.gif


Let me know if another 50 get released :)
 
If you decide to do this again, I would bump the price a couple of bucks each just to give yourself a little buffer in case there is an unforeseen hiccup like this. Speaking for myself here, but I would have no problem with you making a few bucks for bringing us a deal like this, and I can't imagine anyone else would either.


If you need to, I can switch mine to a commercial address to.

I can provide a commercial address as well.

Payment sent.

Yeah, if you come across more in a month or two, I might be willing to pick up a couple more for a few bucks more.

Round 3 is not going to happen sorry guys, after paying ups.com shipping its not going to be worth it. you be paying 20 a keg plus another XXX for shipping making the deal not so sweet.

if anyone wants to change from a residential address to a commercial address ie (your work) please shoot me PM with your new shipping address.

I always have everything I buy shipped to work because well I am at work and I don't have to wait until I get home and shipping is usually cheaper.

Never say never.

It seems the price of kegs is going up, fast. They might be a good investment, if you can get them cheap enough.

Me too..I'm hoping he's getting these for like $10 a keg to make up for the royal PITA he's about to encounter shipping 96 kegs out. Cheers to you flomaster, whatever your profit, (if any)! :tank: :mug:

After shipping I will have about $1.50 on it for me. not to mention my time or gas.

I'm just trying to pass on the savings.

Here is my take: The guy takes 2 days out of his week to pick up the kegs. Then he has to handle every one of them to prep for shipping and get them to his work for pick-up by UPS.
It is 400 miles total to pick up the kegs, estimating 15 MPG for his truck and fuel at $3/gal, he stands to pay about $80 just for his gas. So, if he is actually "pocketing" $1.50 per keg, less the $80 for gas, that leaves him about $70 as compensation for devoting 2+ days of his time, not to mention the aggravation of putting this together, typing out and printing the shipping labels, etc.
Keep in mind that used kegs from Keg Connection are currently $40 with new seals, shipping not included. $27 per keg SHIPPED is still an awesome deal! Take it for what it's worth......

I am certainly willing to pitch in $2/keg after receiving them in satisfactory condition. Still a great deal.
 
Thanks flomaster I may be able to use a commercial address it is uncertain if I will be working at that time. Can I let you know when the tome gets closer?

Hey humann, I will have his ship them to my address since it is commercial. Then you can drop by and pick them up whenever you get time. No, really. No problem at all :D
 
Flo I would love to be able to use my work address but can't. I say once this whole ordeal is done you let us know what it "really" cost you; then if you need more that just $2/keg more then we chip in some extra $ accordingly. I was thinking you were getting these kegs at like $10-15/each and were giving yourself a good buffer. And really you should be making enough from dealing with all this to make your 8 kegs free besides covering your gas and shipping.

I am in the same boat (cant ship to work) and agree that we should chip in extra if the costs warrant that. I have no problem kicking in a couple extra bucks once I receive the kegs.

I agree with Bull that this is still a better deal than kegconnection.
 
ok, there might be a delay in shipping guys.

if I ship in plastic wrap like I had planned UPS is going to charge an extra $8 per package.

so I need to find boxes for each keg I apologize in advance....

Will your boss allow you to ship them a couple at a time? Or are you going to wait until you get all the boxes?
