Group grain buy Pittsburgh / Western PA

[bugman9317]

Sorry this order has been filled and sent in. We are just waiting on the invoice.

Is this your first group buy? We just split ours up yesterday, and it can be a little tricky.
Of course, we may just be dumb.

Care to explain that? This is just full bags of grain.

Care to explain that? This is just full bags of grain.

You may want to hand unload the palette if you can get some help. That way if you're short, or a bag is broken, you can note it on the shipping invoice and get a credit for it. We we're actually shorted one bag of 2-row.

Also some of the bags are not easy to decipher, check each bag at least twice so you know exactly what type of grain is actually in there. We had a few mixups, but they were sorted out. Every different mfg has a different bag labeling system, some are easy to read some are very vague.

Just as an update, NCM agreed to replace the bag of malt. They're 2 day fed-exing it, right to the guy's house. Simply unbelievable.

Nice to hear they are good to deal with. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks again Bugman for putting this together. I will do the best I can to make sure everything is ok with the order when it is delivered - thanks for the advice, WildWest. Do you need any more info from me to get it here? I assume that they will give you a delivery timeframe when they send you the invoice. Lemme know if you need anything.

 

[bugman9317]

Nope I think we are good. I am just waiting for the final invoice wich should be here in an hour or so and we will get it ordered. They were missing a few bags that needed to be added. Sorry its taking forever between the shipping and everything but it should be smooth sailing now. We ended up with 107 per pallet and like 20 for fuel on the shipping so we will be right around the 3 dollar per bag...

 

[bugman9317]

Ok, invoices have been sent out..

 

[Bruwsomtin]

Did the price of grain go up? My price was 366.50 and my invoice says 382.19? Just wondering.

 

[Hermit]

I was gonna ask because after figuring out mine I'm paying a little over a $1 a bag shipping. A little less than I thought..... I figured everything at the first column price. Is that wrong? I'm about through a 9% Baltic Porter I brewed 1/1/2011 so it could be me.

 

[Bruwsomtin]

looks like I am paying 4.78 per bag for shipping

 

[Hermit]

I'm going to bring up the latest price sheet and go from there I guess.

I'll bring it forward for quick reference.

According to that sheet,I'm paying $7.30 a bag. Perhaps my total was calculated at 55# bags rather than the 50# that GW comes in?

Bugman,

Let me know when you want to do an exchange. I'm probably not going to be around this weekend much so tonite or tomorrow works for me.

Those prices fluctuate depending on when the order was placed. I have the total for the 3 bags at $90.41.

Amount received:
$103.91 USD
Fee amount:
-$3.31 USD
Net amount:
$100.60 USD

That puts it right at 3.39 per bag

Did NCM give a delivery date to spleepystevensons?

 

[bugman9317]

Hey guys, I canceled the requests through paypal. I am going to resend them today with a break down invoice so there are no confusions..

 

[sleepystevenson]

Hey Bugman - I will have cash ready for you when you pick up your grain here. (For my bags and TomA's) Could you e-mail me separate invoices for them? No hurry, I know you are busy. I believe I already PM'd you my email.

 

[sleepystevenson]

Bugman - Maybe you could give all the grain purchasers my business name, address, and my email address when you send the invoices or when they pay or whatever - that way I don't get a full inbox of PM's asking for that info, and they know where to pick them up and schedule with me. Thanks again.

 

[bugman9317]

If all the payments come in by tomorrow. It will be here Monday..

Thanks for everything Bugman.

OK. Some logistical stuff. Sleepy. What days/times will pickup be available. This may affect some folks on whether they want me to pickup their stuff or not. I may still need to act as a relay if some of these folks can't get there during those times.

Sleepy, I can probably be there to help receive the grain if you want.

I got my invoice, but it only includes my three bags from the first pallet, not my fourth bag (CM-2ROW) on the second pallet. I was left off the second spreadsheet, but you said my bag was included in the order, so that may be why it was left off the invoce.

Do you want to cancel and re-invoice me, or send a second invoice?

 

[sleepystevenson]

Hermit - Thanks for the offer - however, it is difficult to say what time of the day it will be in - you could just be standing around here waiting. If you PM your cell number and e-mail, I can call you when it gets here, and if you want, you could help me separate/sort it.

EDIT: Bugman sent the addresses, so I deleted my address here so as to not have it visible to the whole world wide web.

My regular business hours are M-F 9-4:30. However, my house is only 2 miles away from my business, so I will try to accommodate everyone's pick-up schedule. I would say PLEASE do not try to pick these up the DAY they arrive, as who knows what time they will come in and it will take some time to sort. Give me til at least the next day. (Unless of course you are coming to help, Hermit.)

I am NOT collecting anyone's money for Bugman (other than mine and TomA's). So, make sure you pay him before you come and pick up.

Bugman - Can you send me a list of what everyone gets and that they have paid you? Just wanna protect you here.

I will advise and update this thread when the grain has arrived.

Oooo my. I really should've read through the thread a little better. I saw this was being organized through bugman in Butler. West Middlesex is about two hours for me. I live in Irwin and work in Monroeville. If anyone is heading up that way, I'll gladly throw you some gas money to snag my four bags. Even if you get them halfway back twd Pittsburgh. Otherwise, I'll have to drop my wife off at the Grove City Outlets and meet up... and that sounds like a long expensive day.

Bugman, I had $135 in my paypal account and my total was $138.33. I don't know how paypal handled it. If they transfer the 135 now and then wait on the $3.33, or if they wait for the latter to clear my account and send the entire amount to you. Either way, I submitted my payment this morning.

Thanks again to everyone involved.

No big deal, but am I not reading the pricing sheet right? I get:

$.54*100 (2 bags pale)=$54.00
$.56*50 (1 bag vienna)=$28.00
$28.00+$54.00=$82.00
$3.39*3=$10.17
$82.00+10.17=$92.17
$92.17+$3.31=$95.48

It started off being delivered in Butler but there was a snag. Maybe bugman can pick your stuff up with his. I was going to relay to the guys north and west of me originally. Still may depending on how things shake out.

When I checked my bill on paypal it seems a few things did change a bit. Nothing killer but I could not come up with the same price as bugman going from the sheet. Still considering prices are set to rise as the season runs on according to some threads/articles I've read. Last years cold wet weather in Canada wasn't good for the barley crop.

 

[logdrum]

I hear ya, I just like when all the numbers agree, must be the latent math geek in me.
