Title: ** if you ordered tungsten ** please read
Post by: thedude on February 26, 2008, 12:30:43 PM
First off- the order is closed now and into the wholesaler.

Secondly - i'm a big fat jerk and messed up the price point for order - i pasted the prices for 10,000 into my excel formula instead of the prices for 1,000. they were right next to each other on the pricing sheet and i just plain grabbed the wrong one. The wholesaler came back with a different number and thats how i found out.

If you've put money in the mail already, the good news is that the difference is only 6% and i can still push the order through - and there is no rush in  getting that remaining 6% as i won't need it until the order ships.

I have heard back from about half the orders about shipping/pickup options. I will send out adjusted invoices today including just the 6% difference in case you already sent payment. If you opted for paypal, i will send Dan the updated prices so hopefully you only got invoiced once.

Again - i can't tell you how embarrassed i am about making such a silly mistake and i'm very sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't expect such a high turnout for this so i appreciate everyone bearing with me.

Thanks

just for the record here are the prices ( i don't want anyone to think i'm upping the price for personal profit).

My grandpa used to say two things;
1) It'll all come out in the wash.
2) No one will care after 100 years.

balance is in the mail mistakes happen I know Ive made a few  ;)

its still by far the cheapest Ive seen tungsten bullet weights and to get the 1000 ct discount is great I was hoping to hit the 300 ct discount, the timing was great I was just getting ready to make a purchase, it would have cost me triple for my tongsten weights.

now I just need a discount for zoom plastics anybody got any good zoom discounts I need about 50 bags of one kind and color?

a bulk discount on gulp wouldnt hurt either ;D

Zoom is on sale at BPS during there classic.  25% off regular price.  Also Gulp is on sale as well. Certainly not bulk price discounts, but its better then full price.

just an update fellahs -
just talked to the guy and he is expecting his big shipment in 1st week of april -
so hopefully i will be seeing ours not too long after that... so everyone should be getting them before C&R season opens. 

Also - if some of you east siders paid for shipping and are going to be at the DK open  may 3rd and don't mind to wait.. i can deliver the weights then and refund your shipping.

Works for this eastsider.

Post by: Revtro on March 16, 2008, 09:35:35 AM
That works for me.  I never got an email or PM about this.  But if you want to bring mine to the DK, whatever I paid for shipping should cover the price difference right?

Please bring mine with you the GLB Open as well, then I dont need to send you the 160 pennies. :)

Thanks

DK, that's weird.  Yep, maybe that's what happened because I never got the emails.  I'll ask my wife if she got them.  Usually she tells me.  Strange.   Thanks for the update dude.
