Good News, I just got confirmation from R-Theta that they will prepack the US shipments and put them on a skid for consolidation. This means niner should not have to buy any packaging or have to repack them when he gets the shipment. Just take them to the Post Office and mail them, he may have to add a proper address label.

Well the wiki is updated with as much information as is available. I will now start collecting the funds. I will send all of you an email with my Pay Pal address and the invoice amount. I will be collecting the entire amount and paying R-Theta for everything upon completion of the Work Order.
I am not expectng anyone will pay anymore than what is reported on the wiki, the amount Payable is for door to door service.
niner I will send you the payments for USPS shipments as a lump sum transfer.

BTW, this is you last chance to add to your order. I have sent the Pay Pal requests to those members who have confirmed thier orders.
As soon as you mark your order confirmed I will send you a Pay Pal request. We are now all waiting on you.

Hi Anthony,
Do you rough idea of when the super load will be delivered to Niner's location?
Since I will be out of town from end of May until 6/9, I just want to check whether I need special arrangement with Niner to delay the shipment if needed.
Thanks,

Well if I get all the funds by the weekend, place the order on the 20th, (19th is a Holiday), R-theta should have the order ready about June 3rd. The truck shipment to niner would likely be at niner's place around 9th or 10th of June.

So the funds have started coming in, I will update the wiki. A little bit of bad news for me, Pay Pal is taking 3% for fees not the 1% I thought it was.
I will make a change in the PP fee calculation for those that have not yet submitted funds. I may have to back to the members who have already paid with hat in hand and ask for a few more bucks.
I will see if we can save some money on shipping to cover it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am just waiting for three more Members to transfer funds and then I am placing our order!
Yay 😀 😀 😀

Payment sent.
Anthony:
It would be easier if US members send me money directly. Anyway, please email me first before you sent any fund to me. I want to use a different paypal account for receiving money.

Well it's mostly all collected now, one more member to send funds and I will be able to place the order.

Well I was not able to collect the critical mass of funds required to place the order by Friday as planned. My new Target is Tuesday if I can get the last critical payment confirmed. Monday is a Statutory here in Canada.
R-Theta have not been able to cofirm an exact delivery as they cannot freeze the material until the order is in hand, but they are still indicating 2 to 4 weeks. That would be to thier dock of course, Canadian members may see thier heat sinks arriving in 5 to 10 days after that. US members will need to add an extra week for the consolidated shipment to reach niner.
My apologies for all the postings, I just want everyone to have a high confidence this is going well. It has been 2 years since I last did a Group Buy, and I understand that in that time some have gone not so well.

Shucks. Just missed it!
Wow, just barely missed this group buy. Oh well. Just curious for my records, what the total cost for 2 12" heatsinks to the US came to?
And would 2 12" heatsinks be the appropriate size for a First Watt F1?
Just ordered a PCB, now on to all the other stuff.
If I get too impatient for the next group buy, any suggestions on where to look for surplus heat sinks? I see a lot of reference to them, but no concrete suggestions on where to look.

I spoke with them a few days ago and they told me the order is being processed, but no delivery date as yet.

Re: Shucks. Just missed it!
Sorry Roscoe, the order was in already at the time you posted.
The cost of 2 x 12" to the US would have been around $180 including shipping.
You could try this GB

R-Theta left me a voice mail at work today, I was a little busy will call them back on Monday.
They are almost ready to ship and would like me to confirm the shipping info. This could mean packages on the way starting next week.

Well niner, the truck with the consolidated US shipment is on it's way.
The cartons are all individually packaged and if a members order was over 48 pounds it was broken into two boxes. So a few members will get two parcels.
All the packages are labeled with the Members Name, City and State. I am not sure why they could not have put the complete address on each box, but that should not be too much trouble for you. I will email a listing of complete addresses to you for your reference.
I will send you the cash for the calculated USPS charges via Pay Pal. The cash is tight so please let me know if there is a problem posting the packages with the estimates provided.

Anthony, do you have more information on the shipment. I'll try to keep an eye on it, but it helps a lot if I can track it. I'm sure I have to be at home to receive it.
Thanks for your effort!
