Title: DEADLINE for Kensfish.com Group Order
Post by: daworldisblack on November 12, 2012, 01:18:35 AM
Post your orders on here ASAP - deadline has been set for 18th. As Tigger mentioned, please supply link to the item from Kensfish.com and the quantity. You can also PM me directly.

Your order is not confirmed till you have made a payment to me (price + HST) by the 18th.

PM me for address (Meadowlands/Fisher area)and availability. Plan is to have pick-up done on the weekend of 24/25th November and have the goods ready for pick up by the group-order participants the following week. I will let you know how much the gas etc. amounted to per person so you can pay when you pick up your stuff.

I would like to change the deadline to 6pm Sunday Nov 18 please. Does that give everyone sufficient time to decide and arrange deposit/payment to daworldisblack?

Nov 22 is US Thanksgiving. My plan is that I will submit the order to Kensfish.com Sunday night, Kensfish will process it on Monday, 2 days to ship, Thursday is US Thanksgiving holiday, hopefully shipment delivered on Wednesday or Friday. And we will go pickup on Saturday/Sunday morning.

+1 on date change - thanks Tigger for the heads up. Definitely more comfortable with this. PM's replied.

*NOTE*

Once you have made your payment, no additional changes can be made. If you modify (delete item, update quantity/amount/size etc.) your original order prior to making a payment, please follow the following steps:

1st: Modify your original post [Add item details as per normal AND annotate each new item entry with the date added]
2nd: PM me to let me know of the update (deletions accepted)

This should diminish the chance or errors since we've got pretty big orders with multiple items and participants.

Yeap! Tigger informed me that UPS is slating the delivery to the pick-up place to be Monday. So the p/u will probably take place not this weekend but the next.

Too bad it's not this weekend 'cause the boarder services agency will probaly be letting tons of people through without paying duty or taxes just to reduce the waiting times with thanksgiving / black friday shopping.

Post by: tigger on November 22, 2012, 01:59:29 PM

Like daworldisblack (thx for replying Rah :)) said, the delivery to Ogdensburg will be Monday Nov 26. UPS got the order on Tuesday, and it doesn't deliver on Black Friday. The order will come in 4 packages totalling 120 lbs.

Well, tigger and I made it back safe and sound with the group order.  It was a rather fun day.  The 2 of us carried 4 boxes of fish stuff to our car, unpack 2 of the boxes as they are too big for the trunk, then throw everything into the trunk.  The owner of the store where we picked up the stuff also finds it amusing that we've order so much fish-related stuff.

It was also fun explaining this to the Customs official at the border although it went thru very well with no problems.

Once home, we laid out, sort and count all the stuff we've bought, I can't image how much stuff we had!  Here are some pictures to prove a point :)

Thank you daworldisblack for organize this group order, thank you FishBuddy and tigger for picking them up. You guys are all rock.

You're welcome new_hobby.
Thanks daworldisblack and fishbuddy for helping make this happen. Now that I have tried it, I will definitely do it again!

One side benefit I didn't anticipate before is I get to know what fellow hobbyists use by looking at what you guys buy  ;D

Lol...that is a benefit!  In retrospect, I wish I had ordered 2 light fixtures for my tank.  The prices were just so good!

Thanks so much for organizing this order and driving to pick it up.

I really enjoyed the trip going down to the States with tigger.  And yes, it's fun looking at what people are buying.  There are stuff which I don't have a clue what they are for. 

Best of all, it's fun looking at the Customs officer's reaction after telling them what we just bought.  They probably think we are nuts but yet, it is legal :)
