If someone else wants in, then I could cut a bag of two rowe. I'd like it, but I'm already being greedy. So cut away the bag as you see fit.

Got it. I re-read your post.

Hey Reel, If someone else needs a bag, you can cut one from my order, I hate to do it, but I was taught to play fair
, just let me know, thanks.

Any word on a delivery location yet?
Couple of options, but nothing definite yet....
Awesome Reelale, I will split the bag of wheat with you. I will also take the two bags of 2-row which will cover me and my neighbor. I can also pick up whatever Mike wants if you hear from him.
subscribe so I don't have to keep searching for the post.

How we doin' Reel? Are we close to collection of moneys yet?
Still waiting for someone to come up with a delivery location. I won't be able to get an actual freight quote until we know if it will be a business location or if we have to off-load by hand....very different prices. Still waiting.....

Can we request what time they deliver the goods? Is that possible? If not I have another possible idea. Might be a long shot, but I guess I could ask. Both places are in Durham though.
I think we can request within a couple of days window, but they ship when they ship. I'm gonna try to contact them tomorrow and see if we can pick it up at their carrier's terminal...I'm open for anything. It'd be a shame to let this slip by.

I've got one, but it's in Greensboro... Probably not helpful.

Let me know what they say about picking up at the terminal. It wouldn't be FedEx correct? I will try one place here in Durham and see what they say. How big a truck does it come on?
At this point, everything is an option.
Not fedex, I think it came on DHL last time...I don't know for sure, my co-worker unloaded him. It's gonna be a shrink-wrapped pallet full.

what exactly do we need reelale? a place of business with a loading dock?
Yes, that would be the best situation. I know if we had that, we could knock $95.00 off the top.

Should we take a vote on Greensboro?
I'm in for either Raleigh or Greensboro. Whatever everyone else wants to do.
Obviously, Greensboro is closer for me, but I am kind of the outcast here.
What the heck, I ought to be worth at least 1/2 a vote anyway. I say Greensboro is fine.

I'd probably vote against Greensboro seeing how far away it is, it would cost more in gas then the hand offload fee. Unless we get a large carpool organized...

I would rather drive to Greensboro than pay the extra $95 which is really only around $2/bag, but this is all about saving $.
I'm still trying to get some info regarding the spot I had in mind in Durham, but if we decide on Greensboro, so be it.

My office is right off Wendover too, which makes it really easy to get here from Raleigh. 40 to 70 and that turns into Wendover.
Just got off the phone with Jeanette at NCM. Here's the deal; $75.00 lift-gate fee, but we still need a commercial address for the delivery. I also contacted Old Dominion Freight Company, and we can have it delivered to their terminal on Evanstown Road (Greensboro) for no additional charge. Then we can pick-up from their loading dock. They will hold the pallet for a day or so, but if we choose this option, it is imperative that we pick-up the grain as soon as possible, and at the same time. I'm open to either option.

What time frame would we be looking at? How late do they stay open? I should be able to sneak out of work a bit early one day to go help unload.
Sounds like we are making progress now. Someone make a command decision and say "this is what we will do" and get this puppy on the move.

I don't know that I can commit a drive to Greensboro...
I may have to bow out? I'm sure someone would be more than happy to take my place.

Perhaps one of these other fine folks would be willing to pick yours up for you. After all, it will already be paid for, so no one would be put out in that way.... Just a thought.

Yeah maybe Raleigh guys can carpool the grain back east.

I can gladly carry a few sacks back other than my 2, but I can't carry it all as I only drive an Impreza. I'm hoping some of the other guys can head that way as well.
HAHA. I was going to drive my smart, but I am not sure I can get 5 bags in that thing along with another passenger.

You know what, I think we'll lose a lot of interest from Raleigh guys if we pick up in Greensboro. I dunno how many of the brewers on this buy are from Raleigh but the more I think about it 2 dollars a bag extra for hand unloading would be worth not having to drive for 3 hours. I would strongly prefer to pay a little extra and pick up in Raleigh. Thoughts?

Yeah, I agree with this. However, I don't have a spot to pick up so I guess it's really a moot point.

I have one idea for a Durham pickup point. I will see what they say. The time of delivery is the point that is the hang up for me.
