Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in a GB of olive silnylon?

It would be purchased from www.diygearsupply.com.

I've been in touch with them already regarding a personal order and they are happy to ship to the UK, so I'm sure I could sort a 'volume discount' out if there were enough of us etc.

I'm just looking for a show of hands at the moment with your approximate quantities required etc.

Don't forget that a yard is less than a metre though ;-)

Cheers for now

Mark.

Subject to prices etc, count me in for a few yards (about 5)
Thanks

That's great, cheers guys. As I posted the original, and this post whilst 'mobile', I shall endeavour to get more info after work tonight or in the morning.

If anyone else comes in on this can you please copy and paste the most current name list then add yourself on.

Cheers!

What's the width of the roll ?

EDIT:

If it's 64" then I'm probably in :)

Trunks

23-08-2011, 21:18

Would it be possible to order other items from them and get them posted over in the same package?

What's Olive Brown as a colour?!

oakhill_wanderer

24-08-2011, 07:38

Ok, so some more info - the Silnylon 1sts is 64" wide, and the 2nds is 62" wide.

I'm willing to open this up to include other items from www.diygearsupply.com as its an overseas order - please PM me your requirements.

Once I receive the order, I shall then re-package accordingly, and work out UK postage - which will be charged at cost, and then request you to Paypal me to cover this.

EDIT - Buckshot - I'm not sure mate, I cant remember the name of the colour I had (but I think there wasn't any colour choices at that time). I does sound ideal though :-)

Cheers

Assuming it's not more than about £25 I'd like three or four yards please.

TinkyPete

24-08-2011, 10:22

Could I put my self down for 5 yards please

oakhill_wanderer

24-08-2011, 10:30

guys, please please please state exactly what you want - 1sts or 2nds, colour, and exact length required so I can start making a proper order list out.

I'm going to let this run until the middle of next week, and then close it out and do the admin and ordering etc.

You will need to do your own financial workings too. There is a very accurate and up to date currency converter here: http://www.exchangerate.com/currency-converter/

Thanks James but no need, if you recall I've already made one hex tarp but used a very heavy fabric. This is for one hex and a very brave (read narrow) lightweight jobby. The 30 yards came from comparing prices with a supplier who only provided in feet - too many unit conversions for my poor head to cope with!

Hi Guys,

Well, its time to close this GB and get the ball rolling. I have been in touch with Scott, and he is willing to do us a 10% discount - which is very kind of him. He has given me an estimated shipping cost of between $48-$70. Now that I have everybody's order, I'm going to ask him for an exact shipping cost, so the figures can be worked out more accurately etc.

I'm unsure how other guys do GB's but what I do know is that I don't have £350 + postage (approximate cost of the order) going spare to simply order it and then collect funds afterwards. So...if you could have a little patience while I work with Scott, and then calculate everybody's total payable that would be very kind of you indeed.

Worse case scenario is that postage is $70 USD, which works out at £5.36 GBP each (approximately).

Attached is a screen grab of the spreadsheet for the order - could you all please have a glance over it, and double check everything is in order for your own items. Please pay particular attention to the quantities and units (i.e. feet, or yards etc).

When I have more info, I'll post back in here. But in the mean time, feel free to PM me if you have an issues etc.

Cheers guys

Mark.

I'm happy to pp the money upfront if it helps?

Dangerous Dan

02-09-2011, 09:12

Yep, Paypal upfront is the norm. All's well with my spreadsheet entry, thanks for arranging this Mark

Dougster

02-09-2011, 17:18

Looks good to me. I'm happy to PP next week when my sales have gone through.

Neumo

02-09-2011, 18:23

The spreadsheet is good but I have no idea how much I need to pay for this. Does the price on the spreadsheet include the discount? Can you PM me with what I owe you (which should be $56.15 + postage, from what I can make out). Thanks.

PS Once I know what I owe then I will send the PayPal gift straight over.

Trunks

02-09-2011, 18:27

My spreadsheet entry is fine too. Thanks again for running this :)

oakhill_wanderer

05-09-2011, 07:08

Hi Guys,

Well, the spreadsheet is complete, and I have totals for all of you. A revised spreadsheet is here (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36253521/BCUK/SILNYLON_GB_01_REVISED.xlsx)

I shall PM you all privately aswell with your individual order total, and where to send your payment.

Once I have received all funds I shall place the order with Scott, and let you know via this thread.

Cheers

Mark

05-09-2011, 17:59

Morning Campers,

Just an update on the process of this GB.........All monies have now been received, and the spreadsheet is all up to date etc.

Scott is just waiting on an order from his supplier to arrive today or tommorow to make sure there is some Sil 2nds Black in there before he invoices me.

Fingers crossed It'll all be ok, and I can pay the man his money and get everything sorted.

He is going to bag up each persons order individually, so that it is easier to distribute from this end.

Any questions, let me know

Cheers.

goodjob and it sounds like Scott is a good guy to work with as well, him packaging things up that end is very handy.

oakhill_wanderer

09-09-2011, 13:03

Hi Guys,

All is ok, and the bill has been paid.

I should have more info over the weekend regarding delivery times etc.

Tony - yeah Scott is a very fair guy, and great to deal with.

Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Cheers

Any news on this as it looks like it cleared customs a while back on the 21st. Thanks

oakhill_wanderer

28-09-2011, 06:01

Hi guys, sorry for not keeping you updated as regularly as I would have liked. We are in the process of a house move so its a little chaotic to say the least!

Ive just tracked it again and in the 'status' column it says: Customs clearance processing complete

Date and Time: September 28, 2011, 3:21 am

Expecting to receive it sometime in the next few days hopefully.

Cheers

Mark

29-09-2011, 09:49

Hi Guys,

An update on this. The package has arrived, and is at my local Parcel Farce depot. So this is very good news. The not so good news is that there is a customs charge of £60.13. I am happy to pay this upfront (obviously), and when I am ready post out your individual packages I shall be requesting 1/6th of this charge (£10.02) along with additional postage from me to you.

I will try and get it tommorow afternoon (Friday), but please bear with me as i'm moving house on Saturday and things are very hectic at the moment. If I do not collect it tomorrow, then it will be Monday for definite.

Any questions etc, just PM me, and I'll do my best to answer.

Cheers

Mark

Neumo

02-10-2011, 19:51

Thanks foe the update. Can you PM me with the amount & I will PayPal it over. Cheers

Same here, just let me know & i'll PP the money through.

Hope you get sorted out in the new place and the move has gone ok :)

oakhill_wanderer

07-10-2011, 19:41

Hi guys, thanks for your patience with this one.

The move went relatively smoothly, although some teething problems afterwards.

I now have all your orders packaged up, and all are present and correct etc.

I've been and got postage quotes today for the individual packages and will be PM'ing you privately with details etc.

Cheers

Mark.

All those that have paid their dues, are now ready to be posted off, which shall happen tomorrow AM, via RMRD.

Hi Guys,

I forgot to mention earlier that Scott put a packet of black plastic whistles in with the order as a free gift, so you all will have one in your parcels etc.

Neumo - no worries mate, I'll post asap

Cheers

Mark
