South Jersey/Philly Group Buy... ROUND 8!

[merc1]

Didnt realize I was throwing my +1 on such a hot button issue here (havent been involved since buy #2). I'm not that concerned with the extra wait..

This thread got nasty quick

It sure did. I am not that concerned with the extra wait either, was just trying to make a suggestion.

Ok Merc, you win. Whatever, dude.

You made a suggestion, just as I did. You just didn't like my suggestion, as I didn't like yours. "And just for the record", you'll notice that in my original post that this wasn't only directed at you. There have been quite a few people complaining about having to wait a few more days for grain, you weren't the only one. I think that the majority of the buyers are pretty much tired of hearing it as Jeff is kind enough to use his time to organize these buys and none of us want it to end.

"Please end this here and do not reply"

Whoa! What just exploded in here?!

The paypal thing has discussed last round. I do agree that paypal is the quickest way but I personally don't mind waiting a few extra days for a check to come. I will never make this a paypal only event because I don't want anyone to miss out because they want to pay with another method.

I hope this doesn't become a trend with our group buys.

Thanks Lordura....

 

[lordura]

Hey guys.. This was setup so ALL Homebrewers have a chance to buy Malts at bulk rate pricing.

You have members on here ordering for their brew club that need to pay by Club Checks. You also have homebrewers that don't have a way of using Pay Pal, or just don't trust it.
Checks, Cash, and Money Orders, all need to be a part of these group buys so everyone gets a shot.

There are no more services for individual homebrewers through NCMG (unless you were already an active customer this year), so be thankful we as homebrewers still have discounted pricing at all.

There shouldn't be any bitching or moaning about an order taking a couple weeks to get together after the pallet is filled and invoices are sent out on this board. If you made the pallet.. you will receive your grain.

If you're out of grain and live by one of us.. I'm sure you can always get some poundage for a batch until your order rolls in by asking. If not.. bite the bullet and order from one of this sites sponsors, or your LHBS.

If there is a demand for malt, Jeff will start another group buy as soon as this one delivers. If little demand is encountered, you'll have to wait a few more weeks. So shout out if you need bulk malt!

ferman if you want them you can have them i have been getting the flip tops now and again so i have a few of them.

Thanks, fitz. I will gladly take them if you don't mind. Or why don't we just split them and we both get a few?

 

[lordura]

Updated payments again. Only 2 to go!

Just a little noise as I hear it. Lordura, you have done an excellent job and have far exceeded my expectations, and i am very comfortable letting you decide what is "reasonable" with regards to methods of payment. The basic rules of the GB are on page 1 of the thread.

Thanks in advance for your efforts!

 

[twoodward15]

I've normally got an extra sack or two laying around as well, so if you are hurting, shoot me a message.

 

[ferman]

Just in case you are in need of some hops. Check out the current hop group buy:

BigGreen = PAID

 

[lordura]

Last payment was received today! I should hear back about the expected delivery date on monday. I'll keep everyone posted.

 

[ferman]

Hallelujah!

 

[vanwolfhausen]

Lordura, let me know when next buy is cause I will grab 2-4 sacks.

 

[lordura]

I will... there isn't much interest for another one yet. I might just start it up after this one is completed. I'm sure it will take a little longer unless some NY guys get involved.

 

[infection]

i will probably join in for a couple sacks on round 9

 

[lordura]

Cool... after this one is delivered, I'll start a new one. Maybe the last one until spring.

 

[Airborneguy]

I'll be back for more also, especially if it is the last until the spring.

 

[idratherbeinmexico]

Anybody in this buy from KOP area?

 

[ryan0914]

so how long does it usually take for the shipment to come in. so i can kinda schedule things with work.

so how long does it usually take for the shipment to come in. so i can kinda schedule things with work.

From the time a brand new group buy starts to the time the pallet is actually delivered is typically about 2-4 weeks. Most buys lately have filled up in a week or less, but some have taken two or three weeks to completely fill. Then it usually takes a week to 10 days for all payments to come in and another week for the pallet to arrive once the order is placed.

Hope this helps.

Spring???? Oh no. What will we do for grain throughout the winter???? LOL

 

[lordura]

I'm still waiting to hear back about the delivery date. With Columbus day coming up, I'm pushing to get it delivered directly after as long as they can accommodate. I'll call again tomorrow morning to verify.

We will definitely get one more GB together before winter.

Here's a little update!

I just heard back from NCM.
The CM-SPIL was back ordered so this will ship out on Tuesday or Thursday.
So we are looking at Oct 15th, Oct 16th OR Oct 18th for pickup depending on when it gets shipped out.
I'll call first thing Tuesday morning to check the status. So for now, let's all keep those 3 dates open!
