Group buy in Chicago #2?

[bmason1623]

Thats cool.

I will owe you the cost of a 1/3 sack. PS: the hops have shipped and will land this week.

Please email me the cost of my hops because I have no idea what I'm spending! Thanks.

I forgot to mention something importanat about the grain quote. All of the malts went up in price by $0.03/Lb. except for the Best Malz malts. Those actually dropped a couple of pennies. They really should update their cost sheet. But over all it's still a lot cheaper than buying 5# bags at the LBHS.

Looks good. Are we ready to paypal?

 

[bmason1623]

If you're satisfied with the spreadsheet and quote from the distributor then proceed to submit payment. If you're using paypal send it to the email address that I've been using all this time. *Please* pay the transaction fees yourself. We can arrange a cash transaction also. And finally, you can snail mail the payment to the address listed on the quote. On the paypal and mail payments please reference your HBT user name so I can update the spreadsheet accordingly.

Thanks,
Bill

Payment sent! About how long did it take last time from day the order was placed to delivery?

It takes about a day or two to receive the shipment once they receive payment. Please check the spreadsheet carefully regarding the amount required. I think you paypaled the amount without the paypal fees. Thanks

How close are we? I'm jonesin to get my bags...

I've transfered the money from those who payed via paypal to my checking account. This transfer takes 3 days to complete. Paypal is quick in receiving money but not in paying for a transfer to a bank account. There are 3 people who have yet to pay. 2 of them plan on giving me cash (or at least I hope they still plan to) instead of paypal or check. The 3rd person I have yet to hear back from. Once I have everyone's money I will place the order and pay with my credit card. A couple of days after payment we should receive the grain. Maybe the end of next week?

Sacks not bags

Drats, I *JUST* missed this!

Would it be okay to ask here what the per-sack pricing on a bulk buy like this comes out to?

a 55.12 Lb bag of Canada Malt 2-row is $27.00. There's delivery fees ($78/42 bag=$1.86 per bag) and nominal paypal fees. So about $30 by the time all is said and done. There will be more group buys so don't worry.

 

[n2deep]

Nice! Thanks for the info and I'll def. keep my eyes peeled.

 

[bmason1623]

I think by this weekend I should have the money from the 3 remaining participants and my paypal transfer should be complete. Maybe, just maybe, I can order on Monday with possible delivery towards the end of next week. It's possible that we could be doing grain pick ups next weekend? We'll see.

[bmason1623]

Just waiting on payment from one more person which should happen tomorrow. I might be able to order grain on monday or tuesday at the latest. You guys might have your grains by next weekend.

Sounds great!

 

[bmason1623]

The final person just confirmed with me that he's stopping by to drop off his payment. Almost there!

 

[bmason1623]

OK. everyone is paid up. I will order on Monday and ask for Thursday delivery. I'm going to ask that once the grain is delivered that people pick up their grain as soon as they can. I have limited floor space and don't want this stuff laying around for too long. Thanks.

Sorry I missed this call next time.

I can also pickup this Sat or Sunday.
