Raleigh Area Group Grain Buy-Round 4

[Hannable1975]

I. Am. So. There!

 

[Reelale]

I should be ok. Walker and barc have volunteered to help. I'm gonna have a buddy helping me more than likely as well, so I should be fine. It really doesn;t take that long to get it all sorted, although I got off easy the last time with a whole pallet with just 2-row on it. I've got a system now though that seems to work pretty well.

I'll take all my splits in the original bags, if that's ok. I collect them. I'm weird.

I. Am. So. There!

You. Are. A. Good. Man.

Saturday sounds good. I can help sort also. I'm not sure about drinking that early in the day, but someone can probably twist my arm.

 

[HoppyGus]

I'll try my best. My hangover doesn't usually subside until at least 11.

 

[Walker]

Dallas is slowly wallpapering his garage with them, so... you might be weird, but you aren't alone.

I am in on three splits. C60, Carapils, and Maris Otter.

I've got two large tupperware containers that each hold about 12# of grain, so I'll bring those for my portions of the crystal and carapils.

The sack of maris otter is actually all going with me. Chad needed grain, so he came by Monday and took 27.5# of the Maris Otter I already had on hand.

Unfortunately I will be in Myrtle beach next weekend. Anyone in the Raleigh area that can hold my 3 bags of grain + 1 split for me?

 

[TheSeether]

Walker, I'm still keeping you as my contingency plan but I will try to actually make the pickup the day of either in person or have my Raleigh friend do it. I'd like to meet some fellow HBTers but driving in from Winston Salem on a Saturday morning isn't the most likely scenario. I foresee me leaving WS at or around 10-11 and I think it is roughly a 2 hour drive.

Walker, I'll keep you posted by phone on pickup day.

No problem. Just let me know.

 

[mtbrider]

If there's anyone from the Clayton/Garner area that ordered and cannot make it, I can grab yours when I'm there and we can meet somewhere later that weekend.

Of course if it's raining, This may not be the best option in my truck.

What's the address of the pick-up loc? I want to know how long of a drive I'm in for.

I'm afraid it's gonna be a long road for you, wherever you are coming from.

Must be an Idaho thing.

I'm afraid it's gonna be a long road for you, wherever you are coming from.

PM me - may can help

Started drinking already? Let's go

 

[Barc]

I'll try to make it Saturday, I'd like to see everyone. Don't know yet though. If I can't, I'm gonna ask Barc (hint, hint), to picky my 3 lbs. up. He's my brother from a different mother.

Just let me know if you need me to pick it up. I can drop it off Monday.

 

[Reelale]

Ok. I want to be completely up-front on these orders. I went back through the invoice last night. I did not see a line item for tax. NCM invoices by unit (bag) price and extends it by quantity. Going through the invoice, item by item, I did notice some discrepancies. For instance:

NCM invoiced BD-MOPA @ $35.83/bag. The spreadsheet had it at $35.20/bag.

NCM invoiced GW-2ROW @ $25.00/bag. The spreadsheet had it at $27.00/bag.

As you can see, there is no pattern to account for the differences. The bottom line is the invoice came in at $159.43 less than what people paid me.

I don't relish the thought of calling NCM and going through prices, item by item. I didn't check the last order as closely, and it would have been even more convoluted with the refund of the shipping charge. I do not have that invoice as I destroy them once the sale is complete. I simply take the paypal balance, transfer to my bank account and pay with a credit card.

It appears to me that everyone is satisfied with the price they are paying for their malt. I'm not doing this to make money, I'm doing it to help people out. I have ordered, for myself, about 50 lbs. total on the last two orders.

So, if anyone has any problems with me retaining this overage as a "service fee", please PM me and I'll refund your pro-rated amount, if we can figure it out. Thanks.

 

[Barc]

If everyone else "tipped" you as much as I did, you should have gotten that much anyway...

I'm personally not concerned. Buy yourself and your wife a nice dinner.

Nah, total "tips" came in at a whopping $22.00. I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on.
