Group order for Tang Heaven - NO MORE ORDERS
 

Hey everybody
I obviously don't learn very well from my previous group orders but here goes another attempt (although is amazing the number of people who expressed interests after the purchases are made)

I have been interested in buying some gracilaria for sometime now but the cost of shipping have been the primary holdback for not buying it earlier. But I'll put it out there for anybody who may be interested in jumping in on a group buy to miminize the cost of shipping.
The algae that I am talking about is the gracilaria spp. which is also known and sold as Tang Heaven by some retail outlets.

The reason I want to get his is because I have an achilles tang that I really want to remain healthy and this algae is one of its natural foods in the Hawaii area. Some literature of this algae is as follows:

The place I am planning to buy it from is the University of Miami that produces these stuff in their labs for Sea Hares to feed on:

The ordering web page is:

I have been given the membership pricing if I purchase 5 lbs or more which is $8 per pound (and the overnight Fedex shipping will be around $70 for 6 lbs)

The more people to jump in on the group buy, the less that the shipping cost will be. And to make things simple, lets make the purchases at 1 lb denominations.

Please reply if you are interested with the # of lbs you would like to order. If and when I do get enough interest, I will then post a closing date.

I'm in. 1 lb.

Chin if you are willing to ship it up to me after if gets to your pad I would be in for 5 lbs.

10lbs for me. pick up.

Cost going down
 

it looks like the shipping cost is dropping rather quickly as the volume of algae is increasing rapidly.

BTW - shipping costs will be divided by the weight of algae you are purchasing. (in other words you will pay for 1 lbs shipping if you order 1 lbs)

Please post your interest ASAP as this group buy may be ending very soon.

how much quanity do you think is in a pound of this chin? would it fill a juice jug?

???

I was given the box dimension for 5-6 lbs which is 17"x17"x10" and that includes space for 2 lbs of ice and 1.5 lbs for the shipping container. So I will say 1 lb should fill a juice jug but thats just a guess.

Put me down for 1 lb Chin. Thanks.

I would also like 1 lb , thanks, Mike.

1 lb please thanx Jim
