hi all
from the prices that i see you are buing too expensive isnt cheaper to have a group order from jlaquatics :confused:

Eli:
We're piggy-backing on Tony's order, to reduce shipping costs. The original post is "group order proposal."

$.25 per snail isn't much when we can split $40 in shipping.

No change in my order as far as I know. Eli if we keep talking and splitting hairs, we will never get anything done. :(

Bob: great, has Jayson got your particulars, or is Tony passing them on?

Sean: you in on the conches (if available this week)?

Let's be very clear, and get this done.
O-tay?

What I did was collect people's wishlist and passed them off to Jayson. Sorry that I didn't make this clear. So as long as your wishlist is what you posted, Jayson knows it. Of course, it doesn't hurt to verify with Jayson yourself, as I have been known to make errors on occasion. ( ;) )

As for the shipping. I have been sent on the road again so I am once again in the fair city of Edmonton as I type this. I was hoping not to have to go again, but things turned out otherwise. My plan is to be home sometime Friday. There is a chance I could come home sooner but there is also a solid possibility that my stay be extended. I have been back and forth so often the last few weeks I would much rather stay on this time a little longer if it means I don't have to go back anymore. Whine, whine, whine. HOPEFULLY all goes well and I will be home sooner rather than later.

I hate to ask this, but how would you feel about a Sunday delivery. Only if I'm not home as soon as I hope to be. As a last resort kind of thing.

I haven't thought about payment. I guess I don't take credit card. So if you want to use a CC can you make the appropriate arrangement with Jayson. Probably what makes best sense is everyone makes pre-arrangement with Jayson minus the cost of shipping. I'll pay the shipping and let you know what your share comes to.

It sounds like we're out of luck on the conches. Sorry Sean. :( I wanted one too, after having been sold on the idea by you guys...

[AJ_77]

Sunday would be OK, Tony. That works for Jayson and Air Canada?

We could still meet and split the order at my house (or Bob's) in the NW.

The payment idea works for me, seems good for you also. More convenient, less on the hook. ;)

Thanks again, talk at you soon.

I just wrote a long reply, but this d***n board told me I was not logged in. Now it is gone grrrr. Anyway I keep being confused how this order is to happen. The way I thought it would happen was that Tony as Coordinator would collect the orders. He then said he would post the cost on the board. Somehow this did not happen. I thought (wrongly perhaps) that one person would pay for the order, and tell each of us what his share would be. Then when the order was divvied up we would each hand over our share. I realise this would involve using money, but I resolutely refuse to use a credit card. That is why my tank has not been ordered yet. :confused:

[AJ_77]

Bob - not to worry. Tony has offered to organize and collect payment.

He only offered an alternative: "So if you want to use a CC can you make the appropriate arrangement with Jayson."

I'm sure cash is still fine. If you read the initial thread it's almost clear. The problem is that this is a poor method of communication.

Fear not, one day your snails will come...

AJ ;)

Excellent, I have tried to contact Jayson to confirm what my wish list was. I have also made contact with Mitch. He is supposed to working late tonight, so I am going by to look and get my tank :D order in.
