Geocaching Gear

[+rediguana]

Right, lets try this again. I am now in the US, so I shouldn't have too much trouble ordering and taking delivery of geocaching gear.

 

BigNick and tgsnoopy have offered to help me out on this one. The plan of attack is this.

 

1. Email BigNick if you live in the South Island or tgsnoopy if you live in the North Island what you want to order. They will consolidate the orders and pass that onto me.

2. I'll order and receive the stuff here in the States, and forward it to BigNick and tgsnoppy.

3. I'll let you know how much you owe, including NZ postage, and you can pay me.

4. BigNick and tgsnoopy will send the stuff out.

 

Let's see who is still interested in gear then... At last we'll have our own travel buys to run riot. Mwahahahaha

 

Cheers Gav

Hey guys, just wondering what the status is with the gear order. No hurry - just want to know what our ETA is

[+rediguana]

I'm just collecting the orders from snoopy and BigNick, and will place them Thursday US time. I'll keep people posted via this thread as to movements from there.

I have opted for ground shipping. So it should reach me sometime next week. I'll then sort out with BigNick and tgsnoopy the best way of getting the loot back to NZ.

 

Cheers Gav

An update from Gav:

The order has arrived in his hot little hands, but he is away from his home base in the US for a week, so will ship them when he gets back. All going well they will arrive in NZ in about 4 weeks from now. At this time we will know how much each item costs, and will contact people who placed orders to get money and then they will be couriered to you. At this stage, payment will be made by money transfer into Gavins bank account, once he has confirmed to tgsnoopy or myself that he has the money, we will pop your items into a courier bag and send them off (In my case, if you are in Chch, I can probably drop them off, saving you a courier, but costing you a beer/coffee and a chat with my ugly mug )

 

Looking forward to seeing lots of NZ travel bugs in our caches.

 

Cheers

Nick.

I should be posting the loot within 24 hours, will drop another note then. Cheers Gav

[+rediguana]

Loot duely posted, ETA to BigNick and tgsnoopy 2-3 weeks. In the meantime we'll sort out prices and let you know in a week or two what things cost. Cheers Gav

Gavin has worked out the total cost of the geocaching order (that is in transit) and broke it down to the unit costs:

Static Cling Window Decal $8.05 each

Compass Keychain $8.05 each

Travel Bug $11.44 each

TShirt Serial or Long Sleeve Crayon $43.07 each

Cap $43.07 each

TShirt Standard (L-XL) $29.60 each

TShirt Standard (3XL) $37.68 each

Neill and I will be contacting the people who have ordered items about payment and delivery when the items hit our shores - this is a heads up so you can start saving

 

Cheers

Actually thats not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. Now I'm really eagerly awaiting the arrival of that parcel

[+ssarc]

There are going to be heaps of travel bugs around now,I will definitely be releasing a couple in the Nelson area.

Nick- let me know the cost of my order and I'll fix it up
