View Full Version : Any interest in a Para cord group buy ???
rapidboy
24-07-2006, 19:16
The para cord has arrived (a few length's short but i think i can cover all the requests so far).
£4.75 per length + £1.77 carriage (+ 4% for PayPal fee's if that's how your paying)
I manged to buy post bags cheaply so there is no extra cost for packing, just the actual RM cost.
So £6.52 per length by cheque / postal order / cash
or £6.78 per length by PayPal.
Carriage is Royal Mail "2nd Class Signed For" (Standard delivery is not much cheaper and it's not tracked so this is the best way and due to recent problems with standard delivery it's the only way i want to post).
Each length is being sent out on it's own due to the size of the post bags and also to minimise loss and to make life easier for me as i have about 170 to send out .
To make life easier for me please pay quickly so i can post them all together, hopefully next weekend.
I need your forum name along with with your full name and address and a reminder of how many lengths / colour(s) you want.
Several members have sent PM's thanking me for organising this and they have been much appreciated but as i have so many people involved in this buy please only send a PM if you have a query.
The list below is what has been booked so far and i wont be taking any more orders until these people have been catered for and i see what is left.

I will send out full payment details by PM today
Im working away during the week and i don't have internet access so please be patient if i dont reply quickly.
So at a rough guess
1 length delivered is £6.25
2 length's are £11.50
3 length's £16.75
So if your interested post here with an indication of quantity and colour required.
If people want to use regular parcel post i might do it to keep cost down but it would be at the buyers risk.

put me down for a length, 100' for just over six squid is a "rip your arm off" sort of bargin,
Hi RB,
Great idea!
I'd be interested in 3 packs - colour doesn't really matter, but olive for preference.
cheers
Matt
Nice one........I would be up for a length of olive, standard postage.......
Just remembered my new tarp!
I've edited my original post to increase the number of packs.

- actually, my mate has a stack of short pieces.......
Don't we all mate? :lmao: I seem to be constantly finding offcut lengths in trouser pockets, jacket pockets and bags but never seem to be able to lay my hands on a single long length when I want one. Then I can only find long lengths when I only need a short bit....
I guess thats why we keep having to buy the stuff :o
You can put put me down for 2 x 100' Olive and 1 x 100' Black.

It's too early to worry about payment as i still need to contact the wholesale but payment will be by cheque, postal oredr, paypal or cash (RMSD).
I'd rather post using RMSD but i will post regular parcel post at the buyers risk, i always get receipt of postage.

Pardon my ignorance on these matters but is this the same as Purlon? If so then I noticed:
Pre-packed Purlon, 50ft lengths price p&p
3mm £2.25
5mm £3.00
7mm £4.50
9mm £7.00
Olive Green & Black
at http://www.armytents.co.uk/purlonrope.htm (http://)
Which is nice but I was actually trying to find a camp bed for SWMBO!

I haven't used that cord so i don't know what it's like but it works out at £12 for 100' posted to England and Wales so rather expensive :confused:

I spoke to my mate at the weekend and he's waiting to hear back from the supplier on delivery times.

Several people have sent PM's about payment but i'd rather wait until i have the cord before i take any money.

The supplier is out of stock and wasn't that keen to get any more but i agreed to take 200 units so they are on order but might take a few weeks to arrive with them and then get to me.
So it's in hand and plenty to go round.
Im going to leave it on BCUK until it arrives and then i will offer any remaining lengths to other forums.

rapidboy
17-08-2006, 08:22
I have a small piece on my key ring and when squeezed flat it's 5mm.
From memory it's the same as the blackhawk cord that i got from ODS(lovely stuff but quite expensive).
rb
2 x 100 x OG please
Cheers

I might be interested in 1 length of the black...
Let me know if you are going to go ahead with the order first though please.
rapidboy
17-08-2006, 13:31
The order has been placed and im waiting to hear when the supplier will have it in stock.
Thanks a lot RB, can't wait for my string!
If there is any left I'll take two packs of olive!
rapidboy
17-08-2006, 14:33
A rough calculation and there are approx 68 lengths left.
Choice of colour will be in order of post.
I ordered 150 OD and 50 Black
Im down for 5 of each colour.
So far i have approx 15 for black, 95 for OD and 11 for any colour so still plenty of each colour.
Hi RB
Please can you put me down for 1 x black and 1 x OD. Many thanks.

Guy's one thing i noticed is that the vast majority of this cord is slightly different than the last stuff i got......
It's made by the same manufacturer as before but instead of being the cheaper cord with 2 inner strands that i had said it would be it's actually the good 550 stuff with 7 inner strands :D

Scoops
It's only a very small local post office and they are usually very good but they have to match the signed for slip to the receipt for every parcel so it's pretty slow work.
I have been working away from home for the last two weeks which was not very handy :o but i should be home for the next few weeks and will get caught up as soon as i can.
Please be patient as i have about 160 parcels to get ready :o
A few people have not included their forum id or full postal details which is slowing thigs up and a few people haven't added PP fee's whiuch means it's coming out of my pocket so please help me to help you and make sure you follow the payment instructions.
The cord is all packaged individually so your order may not all arrive together.
As i mentioned a small quantity of the cord was the cheaper stuff that we were originally supposed to get, the 7 strand cord was a bonus and i can't pick through it for individuals so please dont ask.
Most of it is the 7 strand stuff and the other cord is fine, i have been using it for years.

Hi RB,
160 - I hadn't realised it was so many, and I certainly was't moaning to you about having to wait a bit :D I don't think you took it that way but just to be clear :You_Rock_
I'm probably just grumpy as my local sorting office (Harrogate - hardly a hamlet) has just changed it's counter hours so anyone with a job can't collect parcels until sat am. Humph!
Scoops

Anyone who hasn't paid please do so asap.
I have had several people asking for more cord and some who didn't get their names down on the original list so if i havent received payment or a PM to confirm it's being sorted by next weekend i will offer the rest of the cord on a first come first served basis.
Came yesterday, many thanks RB, its good cord.........
Hi
I notice you have me down as a black name, but I sent you the money by paypal when you posted receipt of the cord and postal details/
Can you confirm this has been sorted. Cheers!
PM sent!

Ditto that.

I know it's busy keeping track of payments but just clarifying for you.
Thanks again for organising everything! :)

All the cord that has been paid for has been sent but there are still some people who have not paid, please do so ASAP.
I have also had the first "rubber" cheque of the buy which cost me a £6 fine on top of the amount for the cord :(
I still have plenty of cord left so if anybody wants more or missed out on the original sign up let me know .

Those listed above have requested cord in the group buy and have not paid.
Please send payment or contact me asap.
I have to clear my credit card at the end of the month so i need payment NOW.
A few people have short changed me with PayPal and i have had 1 dud cheque which also incured a fine so my patience is wearing thin :(
If anyone is speaking to members who haven't paid please remind them to do so asap.
Still some cord left that hasn't been spoken for if anyone wants more and when it runs out i will sell the lengths that have been reserved but not paid for.

RB,
I'll take two lots in black if you have it mate, I'll pay PP as soon as you let me know.

I'll have another 2x OG if you have them, I'm also happy to chip in a bit extra to help save you making a loss.

Thats a bit rotten - Rapidboy was quite clear on the costs for Paypal and this is exactly the sort of thing that will see the end of Group Buys. It is a thankless task at the best of times, the least people can do to show their gratitude is cough up the right amount and refrain from sending rubber cheques :(
Edit: Oops you snuck in there scoops I am obviously commenting on the post before yours :)
hey looked at my payment and noticed i didnt add up correctly so if you cheack your paypal have sent a bit extra hopefully this will make up for my mistake sorrry bout that
