Thread: The Great Bessy Clamp Order 2007

maybe their sales have dropped off

I think they (Carbatec) normally do this, I got a flyer from them when all of this was open for orders - same thing as Waldo was reporting, the prices were nowhere near what we were getting. Adds to my gratification that I'm doing something worthwhile - on a personal note

Hi All,

Well we are definitely at the business end of this. Just heard back from Colin, who has heard back from the distributors, most of the clamps (including the K-150's) will be shipped now and should be at the drop off points in about a week or so for the following locations:

Brisbane,
Perth
Hobart,
Newcastle
Adelaide.
Canberra (There will be a possible shortfall of K-150's)

Now the bad news, we have been very successful - so successful in fact that we have emptied out the distributor! As a result there will be a whole bunch of clamps shipping from Germany just for us. How is this bad, well it will take 5 weeks for the boat to get here. This means the following drop off points will have to wait about 5 weeks:

Melbourne
Sydney

A thousand apologies but the response has been so very good, and yes we all would like our clamps (me included) but patience is the order of the day.

Ciao,

M.

Hi Martin,

Not sure if I'm the only one but where do the one off deliveries stand in the line?

You know what, I don't know, I suspect that you will be OK ask Brisbane is in the clear and your stuff will be shipped from Colin's place. But I'll check up and get back to you.

Looks like it's time to clean the shed out ready to keep all those clamps out of the sun and dust until we get the all clear to pick them up.

How lucky am I? I'm going to be away on holiday for the first couple of weeks of October. And I'll be getting mine from the Sydney drop. So the delay actually doesn't worry me at all. Serendipitous....

And barricade the driveway. You can never have too many clamps...

Hi Martin,

Can I ask who the person is for the drop off point for Perth mate ? I have looked, and know at least two people offered, but I can't find the post that identifies the winner. Must be getting too old or too excited about the clamps.

Sorry to be a bother.

Cheers
Pops

Hi All,

I've finally managed to get the spreadsheets out (just now) to each of the distribution points and I've asked them to send you an email to say hello and identify them as your respective drop off points. This might take them a bit so be patient.

There are two exceptions here, one Brisbane - it's Colin @ northwood, and Sydney it's me. For the Sydney Guys, I will be emailing you all as soon as the clamps show up at my place for you to pick them up.

Ciao,

M.

Thanks Martin. Legend.!! Peter of Perth has dropped me an email. Thanks Peter.

Cheers
Pops

just in case I don't manage to make contact with the canberra drop off point - I'm at home only one day over the school holidays - the middle saturday - out of town all the rest


to martin and colin - and the drop off points - many many thanks for securing us a great deal on the clamps

Invoice from Colin and E-mail from Javali received today!

But I thought Colin said he would include the orders stats? Not in with mine.
Found it in post #403

I am also preparing (with Martin's help) some statistics on this whole process which will be sent with your receipts rather than broadcast here. Hope this is OK.

Come on Colin, you can post them here, we have no secrets!

Number of orders placed?
Total dollars spent?
Total number of all clamps combined?

Hey don't blame Colin for this, blame me! I'm the gate keeper of the master spreadsheet and I didn't get the confirmed stats to him in time Bad Martin (Yes you could spank me for it but I might just like that!)

I've only just now (read 30 seconds ago) forwarded on the stats to all of the drop off people. For those of you who have participated in this, you can get the details from them when you pick up the clamps - or I suppose if you talk really nicely to them they can also email them (this is a big optional thing as this takes much more time out of there lives so I would advise against this).

Ciao,

M.

P.S. I love this new light and bright format - nowhere near as dark and depressing as the dull orange/brown!
