Faux Clays for Service Men & Women--Update 06/25

[beekeeper]

I will update the original post by tomorrow (6/4) to reflect new info.

Wolfpack, the price on the Davinci's sounds great. If we bought Oldcycles 5 decks, that would make 11 sets. I think we should stick with the faux clay.

I like the idea of figuring out a price per set of 300 to quote to donors.

I have a paypal account. Would it be better to have people send money to me, and then I pay you one final sum, or have people send money to you?


Kimdol13--which would be better racks, or racks with covers?

Everyone--we picked up another couple of pledges. The last time I figured expenses, I figured about $25 per pledge not including shipping. I think complete sets will end up in the $20-$30 range.

I have to look up these sticker because I don't know what everyone's talking about.

Is this $3.99 per sticker? Does anyone know who I can contact about possibly getting a price break for order 13 of these?

Thanks, Bee

Keeper of the Bees - Just regular racks are fine. With the foam and a closed lid, they can't go anywhere and would make all of you proud.

I can't wait to see pics of these "carriers."

as far as payment I can except paypal or credit cards. Before anyone send sme money though logistics should be worked out. Where are these going to e sebt. Shipping will be cheaper if they are sent to someone stateside, and that person ships it overseas through usps.

WolfPack --

Although I really appreciate all the work you've done to get your distributor to give us a good price on the chips, I wonder whether the shipping cost might be the deal-breaker. To me, it makes so much more sense to just order the faux clays through 5star (or perhaps Discount) who will ship them directly to the FPO address via priority mail. This would not only save a lot of time, but would probably be cheaper in the end.

Just trying to save YOU some hassle.

As for money, it would no doubt be easiest for everyone to PayPal whoever is actually making the purchase.

And as for a break on the sticker prices, I'm not sure that can be done -- I believe that since these are sub-contracted out to CafePress, there are no discounts. But Ten would be the person to ask about that!

I can ask my distributer Monday about shipping to the FPO, but if you want to order somewhere else that's fine to.

Wolfpack: Please do. You've been so helpful so far.

I talked to TenPercent. We can probably get a price break on the chiptalk stickers. I checked the thread, and I'm confused. Kimdol13--are you looking for 13 stickers for your chip cases, enough stickers for the chip boxes?

I plan on posting an update tomorrow. Thank you all.

Although I would like to take credit, the ChipTalk stickers weren't my idea. I have my can already painted with a ChipTalk logo. The sticker idea came from someone else within the thread. Still like the idea of it, but don't make it a necessity.

I'm pretty sure gambling is against US Army rules, how about the other services?
