    I just finished getting the group buy set up.  Seems like a good company to work with.
    I tentatively have it set up to forward the order to them on Monday May 4th, with delivery on Thursday
    May 7th.  He said they monitor Fed Ex effeciency on  a daily basis.  He said their usual efffeciency is around 99%.  Occasionally they will have a problem & effeciency will drop into the 70% area.  When this happens they do not ship in order to save DOA's, our backup day will be Friday.
    Also he said if a specimen does not seem healthy at the time of the order it will be pulled.  I actually really like this as I would rather not get something I ordered rather then get it DOA, sick, or stressed.
    Discounts do not apply to sale items or lot orders.
    Payment will be made to me & I will put everything on my CC.  I would just as soon be paid when you pick it up so we dont have to pay paypal, however if you need to put it on your credit card my email address is Craigajohnston@hotmail.com.  We wont know the discount we are getting until the final order is in.  I am sure we will hit the $1000 mark (15% off), hopefully the $2000 mark which would be 20% off.
    You can pick up your items at my shop in waterloo, or at my house in La Porte City
    If you want something from the Collectors corner, I can email him at any time & have them hold them for us.
    This is basically the nicer stuff & WYSIWG.  I thought this was pretty cool of him.
    I will need the item number, price, description, quanity.
    Any questions?
    Craig

    i am shocked that only five people are interested on this group buy,maybe we should repost a group buy and see if anyone else wants anything.when casey first started this, ambergris caye(matt) looked like he was in so maybe we should post a last chance for this and see if there is anyone that wants something!

    It's ok Craig, I thought I sent a message earlier saying I was going to for sure get that lobo, but I just looked and it must not have gone through. O well.

    That is surprising that we only have 5 people in on it. We could tell some people from CR that we could meet them halfway if they wanted to order. Not sure how confusing that will make things.
