+rediguana Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment
+BigNick Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 For those you are new and have not fully explored the geocaching.com website, the "gear" that Gav is talking about above can be viewed here. For South Island orders I can be contacted at nick at automata dot co dot nz Cheers Nick. Quote Link to comment
+tgsnoopy Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 For North Island Geocachers, view the gear available courtesy of the link kindly provided by Nick in the nessage above. If you would like anything please e-mail me at tgsnoopy at xtra dot co dot nz. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+nandor Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hey guys, just wondering what the status is with the gear order. No hurry - just want to know what our ETA is Quote Link to comment
+rediguana Posted August 14, 2002 Author Share Posted August 14, 2002 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. Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment
+rediguana Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment
+BigNick Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 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.

+rediguana Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 I should be posting the loot within 24 hours, will drop another note then. Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment
+rediguana Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment
+BigNick Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 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 eachCompass Keychain $8.05 eachTravel Bug $11.44 eachTShirt Serial or Long Sleeve Crayon $43.07 eachCap $43.07 eachTShirt Standard (L-XL) $29.60 eachTShirt 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 Nick Quote Link to comment
+tgsnoopy Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 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 Quote Link to comment
