FishBuddy

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process doing a group order from Kensfish soon.  I planned to place the order by late evening of Thursday, July 17.  If we have enough participants by then, I'll proceed with the order.  Similar to previous orders, here are some simple rules to follow:

-  gas money is $25.
-  border fee is $6.
-  shipping is free if the order is above $75.
-  HST of 13% on the entire at the border.
-  receiver fee of $5 per box of item.  I will calculate the amount for each person based on how much and what type of item(s) each of us ordered.
-  all fees and gas will be split proportionally (based on your total) so it's fair for everyone.
-  NO DELIVERY.  But I will be meeting you all at the parking lot of Home Depot Barrhaven.
-  cash only please; no cheques, Paypal, etc...

Ken's website is here:

http://www.kensfish.com/

To avoid confusion/error, please list your item of interest by copying the actual link of the item (as well as the quantity) from the Ken's website and pasted in this thread.  

So far, we have the following:

After hearing about Cloram-X from FishBuddy at the last pickup, I might be getting Cloram-X.  I was just going to get 1 lb but if anyone else is interested, I can be persuaded to get the 5 or 10 lb and sell it back to you per lb.

If 5 lb is bought, $7.80 per lb or if 10 lb is bought, $6.50 per lb. (During pick up time @ Home Depot)

If 5 lb is bought, $9.80 per lb or if 10 lb is bought, $8.50 per lb. (If I have to deliver to you afterwards)

Let me know by Wednesday (noon).

List updated...  Since you are getting 1 lbs of the Kens Veggie Wafer and I am getting 2 lbs, I could take another lbs if you are willing to take another lbs so that we could get a 5 pounder, if you like....

Roughly 1lb treat over 3500G (121mg/G), and you could overdose it.

 I'll take 2lbs cloram-x if possible .
Thanks Mike



FishBuddy

Ok folks,

I've just updated the list and I think I've got everyone.  Please take a look at the items under your name at the front of  the page to make sure I didn't make a mistake.  Since I did a cut/paste of your original link, I think I got it done correctly.  Whenever possible, I tried to order a larger bulk of the same item to save everyone money.  I don't mind doing the splitting/measuring since I have done that in the past and I have an electronic scale at home.

An update on this.  Ken shipped the goods today.  I am hoping to go to Ogdensburg to pick them up next Wednesday.  If so, I'll meet u guys on Saturday probably late afternoon in Barrhaven for pick up.

One other thing which I forgot to mention.  When I did the order, there's a link on Kens site which if you 'like' it on Facebook, you'll get an additional 5% off the entire order!  Hence, we save about $38 on the order. 

Here's what I am going to do....  I am going to use this saving for the gas money as well as the receiver fee (which is $10 for 2 boxes of stuff).  Therefore, we all pay less at the end.  I hope everyone agrees with it.

Ok folks...  I've went and pick up the stuff today.  I am in the process of sorting them out and total up what each of you owes me.  I'll pm you with the total soon.

As for pick up, how about this Saturday late afternoon, say at 17:00, at the far corner of the Home Depot (Barrhaven) parking lot along Strandherd Drive?  Please be sure to bring exact change as I won't be carrying loose change with me.
