STATUS: ALL ITEMS RESHIPPED TO REQUESTING PARTIES

Hi everyone! Let's use this thread to discuss and follow the USA shipment of the surfury's Paramount (play.com) steelbook group buy.

This thread is for the FIRST wave of Paramount steelbooks only, USA members that were part of surfury's group buy.

Going forward, if you are a member that is on the list below, please use THIS thread to discuss the group buy.

Costs shipping from me are as follows:

1) Evenly divided up UPS shipping cost to me. That's £1.13 for each steelbook ordered.

2) Exact domestic shipping cost based on your choice. Priority Mail only for shipments above 1 item.

If you the buyer, have any special instructions about packaging, if you're post office is not gentle with packages, it is on you to instruct me that you'd like special consideration in the packaging process.

a) First Class Mail : in a box, packaged by me. 1 steelbook only. $3.50 flat cost to all USA.
b) Priority Mail Flat Rate Padded Envelope. Up to 2 steelbooks, in play.com
packaging. $5.10, to any USA location.
c) BOMB PROOF packaging. G1 sized hard case for each steelbook, up to
two steelbooks. Padded Flat Rate envelope. $12 to all USA.
d) Up to 2 steelbooks, in play.com packaging, boxed in my own box.
$6.50 for East Coast, up to $11 for West Coast.
e) Over two steelbooks, quoted by location, any combination requested for
packaging. TBD cost.

*Prices above are estimates, they can slightly increase or decrease depending on your location.

3) Given that the steelbooks IN TOTAL of are of a high value, there may be US customs charges and a UPS processing fee. I will not receive this bill, if there is one, until a week or so after I receive the package.

This total cost will be divided among all members, spoke with UPS on 8/20 and it will be $2.30 per person.

4) Any applicable paypal fees for sending as a regular paypal payment.

You will be billed your total amount due when the items are in hand. Please use this thread for questions, and reserve any private messages for high priority responses ONLY. Thank you.




Here are the USA members that will be getting shipped out from my location.

Steelbooks have arrived!

For everyone that got me your zip code, I'll get you guys quotes in the next day or two that need them.

Folks that have already paid, I'm going to do a bunch tonight and send them out.

The rest of you...well, I guess I'll just roll around in some Iron Man steelbooks until you get back to me. :hilarious:

(huge thanks to Dave for making this all possible)

I prefer the cheepest option for the 3 of mine. My zip is 43537 I can pay asap thanks again!
 
"Thank You Andy!"

Sorry, I just got home from work, or I would have paid sooner. :emb:

Payment sent via provided PayPal link, plus tip sent separately via PayPal Gift.

Andy, Thank You for ALL your hard work and trouble!!!!!

It is GREATLY appreciated!!!!! :oohyeah:
 
Here's everyone that is getting mailed today. I'll invoice other people at some point today, based on the info you have provided me.

I'll start pm'ing folks as well as I guess some aren't checking this thread.

Finally, a couple of you have asked why the shipping cost is so expensive.

I'll restate in this post what has been put in other spots of this thread.

Cost per item from the UK is $1.80. If you order 3, that's 3x $1.80 per item cost.
Customs charges are $2.30 per person.
I'm packaging in a way so I don't have to re-package every steelbook (all 100+ of them), so one of the easiest ways to do that is to put 4x play.com boxes with their egg crates in a medium flat rate box. That's $10.85 to mail.
Then paypal fees.

Remember, I'm not getting any compensation here. I'm doing this free to benefit HDN and it's members.

If you are interested in sending a tip, I'm not asking for any, but before you do, please pm me - I can't accept gift payments via paypal or they will shut me down.

Thank you.

What's the live if I were to take Seven(7) of them??? What would be the total with shipping's well??? I ask so I know wether to take the steel cases or just take less steelcases or maybe none. Sorry for the hassle.

I can't do 7. Probably just the 4 hard cases if you want those.

Depending on your decision, that will impact the weight of the package and what I can fit in there.

So once I know that, I can package up, weigh and get you an invoice.
 
invoice received & paid

thanks again!

edit - I forgot to include my forum name w/payment, so PM sent
