Hi Derek, Martin,

If you are able to be the Perth drop off point Derek it would be very handy for me for one. Your offer is very much appreciated. (did not find any other mention of Perth drop off point in the thread, but could have missed it).

Can't wait now to get my hands on my first Besseys.

Cheers
Pops

Hi all,

The TG’s with the wooden handle are made now, as they have been switched over to the two component handle. These handles apparently (from the manufacturer) last longer - the wood handles have a life of 20 years, the component handles have a life of 25 years and that's why Bessey have made the change. As far as I'm aware this only applies to the TG clamps and not the k-body clamps. The TG wood handles clamps will NOT be able to be supplied with the great clamp order, only the component handles. I've included a picture of the new component handles.

Ciao,

M.

The two component handles are fine by me Martin, I'm sure they would give extra gripping power as well.

Hi All,

Ok I'm pushing all the orders thru to Colin at Northwood for the Clamp orders and now I need drop off points for the following locations at this stage:
Perth
Melbourne
Hobart
Adelaide
Newcastle

The drop off points already confirmed:
Brisbane (Colin @ northwood tools)
Sydney (Me @ Eastwood/Denistone - I get to finally meet some of my fellow woodies!!!)

To be a drop off point, I need you to be available one weekday for the delivery _and_ be available at least one week night (after 19:00 - 7pm) and one weekend day to allow other people to pick up their clamps and to be one of the people who have placed an order for clamps.

I know there have been people volunteering for this already so if you are still interested then let me know. For those who volunteer there is a foilie cap in it for you (at my expense) if you are selected as my way of saying thank you!

Thanks in advance,

Martin.

I would be happy to do so, but am a bit out of the way for most people.

Anyway I think Greg says he would be happy to be a drop off point for Melbourne.

Have you got any drop off points for bundaberg yet

Hi Martin,

I'd like to confirm my order from post #95 but add another two K150s. So the total order is:

2x K60
2x K100
4x K150
1x KP framing block set

Have sent an email with the relevant details.

Once again, thanks heaps for your huge efforts in organising this!

Cheers,
Gibbo.

The prices for your project include shipping to defined pickup points in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin provided there is a minimum of $300 clamps for that location. Regional areas will have to contribute to the shipping cost as it is higher. Note I have included Perth and Darwin for simplicity sake. Hobart would be OK too if at least $300 in clamp orders, but no other Tassie cities .

Individual orders ship direct to customers at this stage is not an option unless there is a lot of interest - as you can imaging the amount of paperwork, time in getting shipping quotes etc is a lot and there isin't the margin for Colin to do this sort of thing!

Payment will be directly to Colin with numbers also sent by everyone to me also so I can chase up where needed - there are a couple of transaction costs that must be added to your order amount when you are calculating up your order

* All orders will incur a 2.75% fee for credit card payments, direct deposit and cheque incurs no fee.
* All orders will incur a $5.50 administration fee. All orders must have the buyers full details, even though we will be doing a bulk delivery, for warranty and payment receipt Colin must have this DO NOT POST YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS HERE, ONLY THE NUMBER AND TYPE OF CLAMPS AND PICK UP POINT I.E. SYD/MELB ETC!!!
* All prices include GST.

All prices are based on the numbers that you all have provided as tentative, less may incur a price review, additional K-Body will not get a better price, but extra numbers of fringe clamps (i.,e. non K-Body) may help with fringe clamps prices.


Clamp Price
K30 45.10
K60 49.13
K100 68.44
K125 72.93
K150 81.11
KP 39.63
UK30 29.44
UK60 31.21
KLi12 30.00
KLi16 30.68
KLi20 31.29
TPN80 62.04
TG25K 28.18
TG30K 29.79
TG40K 37.78
TG60K 46.07
KT5-1CP 16.23
DUO65-8 22.48


Notes:
* TG series are not Tommy Bar version
* TPN80 is not currently listed on the Northwood web site but is normally around $70.00
* These prices are based on delivery within two weeks in all cases except K-150 where there is a small shortfall. They will be about 10 – 12 weeks - this is due to them having to come from the factory in Germany!!! This may also be the case if between now and culmination of placing order, Colin runs low on other clamps too. Those that are short (about 25 K150 at this stage) will be shipped when available at our cost to the delivery points. No minimum applies to back-orders.


Now, please if you have any questions or queries, please post these to this thread as I will be the contact point for queries so I can total them up and save Colin some time in prcessing this order - he is not making much margin on this job as you can all imagine.


So all that's left is to post your orders!!! These will be FIRM numbers!!! I'm expecting to close off the order period and to have all people paid up in just over a month (i.e. Close of business 7-Sept-2007! This should give everyone time to get their orders in and paid for

Ciao,

M.

P.S. Those of you who have already volunteered I'll be in contact with you shortly to firm up procedures etc.

Martin, I would like to order the following:

4x K60
2x K125
1x KP framing set.

For delivery to Perth.

What do I do next?

Ta,

Do you have one for Canberra? I think a couple of people have put their hands up.

G'day Martin,

If Greg isn't up for being a drop-off point for Melbourne, I'm happy to do it. I'm out in the easterb suburbs at Kilsyth and am home all day everyday (90% of the time) working in the office or in the shed.

I'll pay for my order in the next day ot two.

Hi Martin,

I can do the Hobart drop off if you are still looking for someone.

regards,

AD
