PM sent. thanks

Hey Gamma, thanks for putting this all together! Extra beer money is surely deserved.

This being a group buy and all would you please post the particulars of the deal including binding cost, any additional discounts, expected freight, and any saved costs by shipping some of the binders to local distribution points.
It's just about checks and balances you know... no worries. I just know everyone will feel more comfortable with the transaction if they know all the details. I guess it could be done through PM's as well.

the prices are the same as UAN's group order +/- 2-5$ or so..

GapersGoHome... if you want to save a few bucks, I could have my bindings shipped with yours and I could pick them up in Reno. If it isn't worth the effort, no biggie.

jmulcahy04, where in norcal are you?

Davieboot... That works... I'm in damonte ranch (S. Reno), and I work at the bottom of Mt. Rose. Can pick up at my work, or at home, whichever. Details to be discussed later, but I'm down for the 1-point ship. Any way to save a buck. ;)

Cheers!

PM sent. Thanks again Gamma. davieboot, I'm a little out of the way - down in Palo Alto.

Monkey Man, I am having mine sent to you with all the other SLC bindings, I will hook up with you when the come thanks. Let's start sending some money to gamma so he can place the order.

It looks like gamma has the ball rolling on this, so i don't want to throw a wrench in it. I'll keep the shipment to me in TC.

Just want to make sure that the TLT's are changed to comforts w/ wide brakes. Thx!

I got that foreal... the TLT is the model without brakes and the comforts is the model with.. this is what the guy at the store told me..

trigger pulled ..... order shipped...

Thanks Gama. Can you order up some snow for the Wasatch too?

check is in the mail Gamma, thanks for putting this together.

If you still haven't heard from zeedashbo, I'd be happy to become the receiver/distributor for the seattle binding delivery....just let me know.

I posted this in the CO group buy thread, but it bears repeating here...

I want to give gamma huge props for organizing this buy (even though I'm not in it).

I have to say that the organizer does have quite a bit of work in these things...and there's definitely hidden cost. Some of the stuff that can go unnoticed:

* Many emails to Europe...some of which get answered, others which simply get lost in the void;
* Late night phone calls to Europe (I wasn't on a calling plan w/ good rates to Germany; each call cost $5-$10)
* Dealing with customs -- for me this included filling out forms with FedEx and a number of phone calls (not a huge deal, but it's all incremental)
* Having to track all payments -- had to create a spreadsheet and enter all the information, including real addresses and usernames. Takes some time. Also, some folks forget to give you their username, so tyou have to do some forensics. I have a file folder about 3/4" thick with payment info, invoices, etc.
* The shop might send you something other than what you ordered -- either as an honest mistake or as a substitute. Nuisance to deal with -- and extra (high) shipping costs go along with that.
* Greguar's not reshipping....but packing materials, boxes, tape, many trips to the post office / UPS / fedex, gas...it all adds up a little bit.

Why am I posting this? Just want people to know what's involved and to give props to your group-buy organizer. By the time the buy's all done, they go through quite a bit.

Is it worth it? Yeah...I think so.

People are getting HOOKED UP this early season!

Peace.

Hey Gamma, what's the status? Have they shipped and did you get a tracking number yet?

Cheers

guys binders on the way, I hope I will recieve at the tail end of this week. Out of my hands at momo.

Ok, I should recieve the first package by the end of the week.. its in transit now.

a couple of small glitches..

1. It may be another 1-2 weeks before I get all the binders in. I have placed and paid for the whole order from schindele, but they have only shipped one package. They emailed me this am and told me the other packages would be shipped this week. this may have to do with their location or binding availability (see below). This is TOTALLY out of my control. I will ship out the bindings as they arrive, so one point ship may go out the window.

2. There was a little confusion on models when I made the order. In europe they refer to a comfort without bindings as the TLT. At first I ordered TLTs for all who ordered comforts without brakes, to my distress Upallnight notified me that they send TLTs not comforts without brakes. I quickly phoned schindele to switch it up.. so If u ordered comforts without brakes, you will recieve comforts with wide brakes. Im sorry, but they dont seem to have comforts without brakes.

Here is a weblink to a page describing in detail how to remove the brakes.
http://www.wildsnow.com/articles/dyn...e-install.html
so.. worse comes to worse.. u have a 20$ back from selling the brakes on ebay..

just keep in mind, ur paying 220 for a binding that retails for 430(i checked it in a shop this weekend).

guys please remember, this is a lot of work, so be understanding about the timing and everything, remember ur getting something for 30-50% below retail value.

Have u sent your checks? I haven't heard from you or recieved a check and its been some days..

check sent, beer $$ added.

oooooohhhhhh yeah! c'mon dynafits!

It is the fabled and feared jackalope.

guys.. package one should arrive today and the other 2 early next week! i think it will be fr+'s first so if u paid via paypal and order just fr+ the binders will be on the way later today or tomorrow via USPS, tracking nos posted here!

Gamma,
Your box is full. I am sending a second check to your new addy. Did not cancel the first one yet so let me know if you get it, although it should have been there by now.

2nd try is hopefully the charm. This time money sent via BofA instant transfer.
