COLT DRILLS – GROUP BUY expressions of interest

[Christos]

Just in case. If I did not confirm that I am happy with the order that I have placed. This is a confirmation.

[FenceFurniture]

HA! You won't be when you get a Blackscatter in the mail. Actually you don't have a snowflake's of winning, but I might still send you one anyway. Perhaps after a feed of liver.

[FenceFurniture]

I have posted a poll here that I would appreciate you all having a look at, and voting on. It does not matter whether you placed an order or not.

The long & short of it is that I’m doing some research for Juergen on what sets of drills the consumer would like to see, and in the long term this sort of thing benefits us as well.

BTW, Juergen had a break in to his office on Sunday night, and lost his computer screen and laptop amongst other things plus the usual general mess. I’m not sure if he is back on email yet, but I’ll be calling him tonight to enquire if he has a list of parts weights, and to discuss freight. We’re at the pointy end now, and I’m just waiting for the last handful of confirmations to come in before closing out and placing the order.

More attempts at the guessing competition required please! The real prize is any Colt product to the value of $30 as per pricelist. All the scats have been claimed by Christos – something to do with his boss. The markets must be slow at the moment.

Thanks for your attention.

Thanks FF. You're putting a lot of effort into this.

The 'short of it' is I'd like my order as priced and I'll wear whatever cost to send it as is reasonable in your view.

And my pref. is settle it asap.

So perhaps you and Juergen can agree on a cut-off date for it.

[FenceFurniture]

Yes Ern, the cutoff is any moment now. I have a few PDFs to email right now, and once they are confirmed and we get money into Groggy's account then we're on.

Regards, FF

I don't know how much demand there would be but Juergen might consider a set of forstners for crushgrind salt and pepper mills (22mm, 25mm, 35mm, 38mm, 44mm, all three rotostop extensions and the number 2 morse taper). It's what I have ordered for this time.

I also added the 22, 38 & 44 to a boxed set.

Have you received my order? The PM's I sent seem to be bouncing.

Please put any suggestions re Poll into the Poll thread itself - Juergen will be watching it.

Dr Bob & Tankstand - I have copied your comments over to there.

[FenceFurniture]

For the late comers......

Prices are in the spreadsheets attached to Post #145.
Specifications are attached to post # 141, and there is other important information there
Brochures are attached to Post #1
Guessing Competition is in Post #144
Market Research Poll is here

Please submit your order (by email or PM) ASAP and in the following manner:
One part per line (the Enter key is the big one to the right) and NO OTHER INFO:
10800015
10600030 x 2
etc

Then:
Your Name
!4 Delivery St

[email protected]

You will be sent a PDF for confirmation, and very soon you will be sent Groggy's account details to transfer money to.

At this point the freight cost will be apportioned by $order, unless Juergen can supply me with a list of parts weights (which I doubt).

At this point in the exercise the latecomers will need to exercise Digital Extractus or miss out.

Hi Brett,
Just to confirm my order, as it stands.
thanks for all the work,
TM

[FenceFurniture]

For those of you who haven't voted in the research poll would you please have a look.

Thanks, FF

[FenceFurniture]

Ain’t Google Maps wunnerful? I have been able to plot the various pick up points around the country. Details in a moment.

NEWS:
1. Juergen does indeed have a list of parts weights in Excel which I’m waiting to receive.

2. I’m going to ask him to send 14 separate parcels around Australia for redistribution, and this is for obvious import implications (apart from much easier logistics). First though, I have to work out how much extra the freight for this would be, as opposed to sending (say) 2 parcels to me. The 14 parcels would all be less than $1000. I will be researching UPS and FedEx (Juergen is a client of at least UPS). Does anyone have any other ideas on freight. Beer_is_good suggested V2 rocket, but sadly they are all decommissioned.

3. Groggy’s details will be emailed to you in the near future.

4. Until I get more info on weights & freights, I propose that we all transfer 110% of our orders. More detail on this later.

5. If anyone has a difficulty with me emailing your PDF to the pick up point then let me know, otherwise that is what I will be doing.

PLEASE ADVISE YOUR ANSWERS BY PM, so the thread doesn't get chocked up.
Anyone who has been asked to post on will pay a bit less freight to compensate.

Ross: Have I sent you a PDF for confirmation? I think you were saying that you wanted to change your order and were having trouble with PMs??
Bupton: you have changed your order and I sent you another PDF, in which I requested confirmation. I had to chase you for the first one, and now I have had to chase you for the second. I’m a binary thinker: number 3 doesn't exist for me.
