Greetings!

Well, as you have all read in the Off Topic forum, they are here and ready. Unfortunately, I do not have an estore or webfront in place yet. But I am starting to take orders from folks on the board. Pricing is as follows:

Regular price: $12
BBS member price: $10
Bulk box of 36: $300

Price does not include additional charges for packing and shipping. Also, payments via PayPal will require a 4% additional charge to cover PayPal's fees.

I am still gathering packaging material for shipping smaller quantities (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.), but I hope to start shipping the bulk orders (multiples of 36) this weekend.

If you have already sent me a PM, great, I have your order information. Otherwise, please send me an email with your order. I have plenty and I do not expect to run out of them, so speed is probably not essential here.

Again, I hope to get a webstore up soon. But I want to do it right... Take photos... etc.

Thanks again to everyone for their help, their ideas and their patience! I still have a day job (at the moment), so this is all done as time allows.

Paul.

I am interested in 5 but if it makes more sense to liaise with someone like skibum or geoff to get a bulk order across to the UK, then I will go for whatever is least hassle all round.

Guys - any thoughts?

I'll take one (at least). Maybe I can latch onto the bulk order too?

Greetings!

I know that there has already been a large request placed for shipping to the UK. Unfortunately, I do not have my notes here (at my day job). That is why I request that anyone wishing to place an order, send me email. It makes it easier to track, and I do not get it confused with shipping consolidation requests. Thanks!

By the way, I don't know why but I have had the AC/DC song "Big Balls" running through my mind over the last few days. Please. Someone. Make it stop!!!

Heh - the last song I heard on Sunday morning was Britney Spears Toxic. Have you ever run 26 miles with that as your pace tune? Initially the video remained in my head as a fairly motivating thing, but that soon went. Don't like that song much either...

yes I think it would make sense (and help Paul) if the UK orders were in one batch. I'm easy about however we go about it.

I'm ordering 72 from Paul and I'm in the UK. I've got homes for about 35-40 of them, so I'll have about 30 spare. If anyone wants one from me then send me a pm or email.

Paul,

Not a prob. If its easier I don't mind it if you refer all smaller UK orders to me. I work at home mostly so post office runs are easy :-)

Of course I might have to order more then :-)

hahahahaha! No worries. Just too much going on at (regular) work, and trying to keep up at the moment. All of the small orders for the UK (Europe?) will be referred to you.

How it looks isn't that different than how it tastes.

I think it's water, dye, and antifreeze, isn't it?

Appears to be "empeg BBSed"? (similar to Slashdotted)

Probably just my ISP (Verizon) being annoying. It happens a lot.

Yeah I was joking really. Forgot to put something like in there. I seriously doubt the full force of the empeg mob would bring down an ISPs webhosting.

More probable that it's some sort of antibacterial or fungicide additive to ensure it stays clear. Unless of course you need to have answers when you're outside in sub zero temperatures
