[COMPLETED]GB (surfury)Paramount Centenary Wave (play.com Exclusives - Iron Man, etc)

Please note that this Group Buy operates under the Terms of HiDefNinja's Group Buy Rules Thread: For Members and Group Buy Hosts Can I draw your attention to clause #12 and as such the charges applied are a bit different to those I have charged previously. However I intend to keep them to a minimum for the benefit of all members. Enjoy the experience. :movie: :oohyeah:
THIS GROUP BUY IS NOW CLOSED TO NEW PARTICIPANTS
I don't anticipate any problems, so members can request 2 copies of each title from the get-go (but see post #121 :) sorry no more both Iron Man and Iron Man 2 now OOS) and hopefully we'll have a lot more join as well. However Paypal payments will need to be by normal Paypal (Goods) as I am no longer accepting Paypal Gift and don't forget you'll need to cover fees. For those with no or little feedback I reserve the right to request funds by Amazon Gift Card in GBP (or a mutually agreed currency). Charges this time will be £2.50 per Steel for the first 4, reducing to £1.25 for any subsequent Steels. Postage will be at cost, however I reserve the right to pass on any charges for Insurance, Tracking Services or similar. To guess postage (all I can do) you are probably looking at 1 - £4.98 or £6.76, 2 - £7.98, 3 - £10.42 or £11.64, 4 - £14.08, any more I will quote once in hand. If you want to know more go to www.royalmail.com. To Australia will cost just a little bit more and none of these prices include Tracking etc. Please do not PM me about other postage charges atm I will not reply, please wait till I have the Steels when I can give you an accurate figure. Please note that if members are wanting me to combine with any other Group Buy or purchase then this is likely to create a short administrative delay.

:D Group Buy is now fully active, :D as prices have been announced, Retail is £10.99. Release date is 13th August.

Titles and release threads so far are listed below.

Personally have a feeling there will be a 2nd Wave so no requests for these below please atm.
G.I.Joe:The Rise Of Cobra
Watchmen
As usual this play.com exclusive Group Buy is only for members who cannot order direct from play.com.

Now I'm going to say this once and once ONLY as clauses #7 & 8 of the HDN Group Buy rules refer specifically to this, if you join the Group Buy you are giving a commitment to buy, and you are therefore expected to stay in the Group and pay promptly. I realise that there are sometimes valid reasons why you cannot, but please tell me or one of the trading mods if there are problems.

Please, please subscribe to the thread to catch any up to date info, if I hear anymore I will post so follow the main release threads. As usual please refrain from PM'ing me please. :)

PLEASE CHECK THESE ARE CORRECT. IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO CORRECT ERRORS. IF I HAVE NOT BEEN ADVISED.

USA This is kindly being handled by apsmith21. The Steelbooks have been sent to him and I believe most if not all have been dispatched.

"Rest of the World" (includes some USA too) This is being handled by me, OP not 100% uptodate. Mainly the multi item parcels which will be sent bycourier as too heavy for Royal Mail.

from the sound of surf's post, the amount in the spreadsheet is what you owe minus shipping. Once he figures that out, he'll send out invoices.

and if you want a general idea of postage..

So we should make our payments now before any invoice?

No clue. :wtf:

Then again, Dave did say that he would send PM separately on how to make payments. Maybe he's pretty busy right now. :) I'll wait for his PM.

Nope, I would wait until you get a confirm for Dave before sending payment. I believe he is away for the weekend, with limited access to the interwebz.
 
Folks at ther moment I have all your IM1's & IM2's and have paid for them myself (that's what Credit Cards are for.) You will get invoiced and if you want to know fees I can tell you, in fact I may tell you in invoice. Please don't send me PM's as I want to keep that clear also now I have them I can add shipping costs as well where appropriate. :scat:

Thanks a lot Dave for all your dedication and hard work. :)

About the shipping method, I just want to inform you that I will need a shipping method with insurance and tracking, just like the one that you use for the Fox GB. :scat:

Regards,

hey guys, so the rough plan for Dave's group buy is as follows.

1) All members that do not reside in the USA: You will get an invoice from Dave that includes all applicable shipping costs, etc. Please pay in full when you receive this invoice.

2) Members that do reside in the USA - if you requested only the Iron Man 1&2, or Shooter + SPR. There are a number of you that will be receiving an invoice for your ITEMS ONLY. These invoices will come from Dave, please pay him promptly.

Shipping will be combined via UPS to me and then I will repackage your items individually and ship domestically via USPS.

Your shipping invoice will come later, upon the arrival of these combined boxes to me.

The remainder of the USA members that have asked for combo shipping, etc will be handled as in #1 above.

To be clear, these are the members that will be "hosted" by me in the USA.

PM me with questions please.

Sorry to be a pest but is there going to be any extra fees associated with this method?

2 paypal payments and 2 seperate shipping methods?

Each person is responsible for paypal fees that are associated with the payment.

In terms of shipping, it will be cheaper on the whole considering that the rate for UPS shipping bulk over Royal Mail direct to you.

In addition, we as a forum, can't simply ask Dave to take over individually packaging, addressing and shipping every member of the group buy. Dave has graciously offered to also be the intermediary of masterblasters group buy as I cannot order directly from play.com.

As a result, he is now at the head of a massive group buy that exceeds 500 total steelbooks.

I believe the total for all the USA participants, including members of the other group buy exceeds 300 steelbooks.

I have offered to take these on, at no additional cost for my time, effort or labor to assist Dave in this group buy.

As a result, yes, people will have to pay another dollar or two in paypal fees and a nominal shipping amount for domestic service.

Personally, given the alternative of not receiving a steelbook at all, I thought this was a good compromise.

Sorry to be blunt, but I'm also answering your question + more in advance of any other queries from USA members.

I have no problems with bluntness, I'm from NY we expect and prefer that. I did not know he took over for another GB. Very commendable. :scat:

Although I don't think the items will package and ship themselves to the group buy members. :p
 
After seeing the look on my wife's face when I said in total how many I would be handling, I wish they would package and ship themselves. :hilarious: :ohno:

I have to say something here, my wife doesn't know about the next lot and I think I snucked this one under the radar. No :boobies: for me atm :ohno:, more like :violent:

I have moved all my own steels (no mean feat, boxes within boxes) to make room for all these.
