Hey Tom.
Thanx for the update on the group purchase.
I hope this gets finished ASAP, as I and the rest of the good faith participants, that have promptly paid thier portion of the group purchase, are anxious to "get er done" !
You have done a good job organizing this once again.
The history of this group purchase is a bit slower, compared to the spring purchase. I feel the frustration, as all involved, and you must as well.
Initial orders, stall, and a flury at the end. Then most paid via PayPal, more stalling from the few that can't or won't use PayPal. Now it sounds like there is a stall in getting already paid funds from PayPal.
If there are future group purchases, maybe think about setting some criteria such as :
- We need to get a full pallet
- All orders must be confirmed
- Once all confirmations are received, individual bills will be sent out.
- PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL ONLY, NO CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, CASH etc...
- Once PayPal funds are transfered, purchase will be made from NCM, based
based on the most popular delivery date for the group.
It looks like the current hold up is from payments that are slow and PayPal lag time. None is your fault.
If the 12/4 delivery date doesn't work out, I cannot pick up my share of the order on an evening, post 12/4 except for 12/7(Tuesday), 12/10/9(Friday), or 12/ 11( Saturday)
