G:UK to supply Geocaching.com merchandise.

Can you get the discounted 8-packs of Travel Bug packs?

It only seems possible to get these from the States, whereupon postage becomes an issue.

 

A UK redistributor of the packs of tags would be great!

I can get anything that Geocaching.com supply. The only issue I will have is Import dutys and VAT which will be charged when the goods arrive in the UK. I hope to be able to sell items at the same price as other UK suppliers or a little below but delivery etc will be lower. I will also take orders and visit cache meets in the UK so cachers can buy there. In that case delivery will be little or nothing. I hope that cachers will buy from us as it is one way of supporting G:UK. It will also support Geocaching.com as well. I am in the process of placing my first order with Geocaching.com so if there is anything you would like please email me at mark@geocacheuk.com and I will see what I can do. I will have more of an idea of prices when the first order arrives as I will then know what duty I am charged. But I promise that items will be no more expensive than other Uk suppliers, and cheaper if I can make them so.

Brilliant! Anything which simultaneously benefits both geocaching.com and GeocacheUK has got to be good news!

 

Is the goal to provide a full online ordering service? With credit cards? Or is it going to be a bit more adhoc? Either way, it's a great step forward!

I have just placed my first order with Bryan at Groundspeak it will ship on Monday. the order was for $1300. We are also going to produce some UK merchandise as well this will in some cases have both the G:UK logo and the geocaching.com logo on them. We will be paying a royalty to geocaching.com so it will help this site as well as ours.

 

Having talked to Bryan on the phone I am sure that this is the begining of a long and lasting relationship between both sites. However we will not be producing Travel Bugs here in the UK as I feel there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

Perhaps you could team up with Hornet Enterprises and supply Ammo boxes with a Sticker on the side plus a log book and pencils already in them. Then all we would need to do is just add the swaps.

 

Just an idea....

A good idea (main problem is delivery)

 

And a camera, I'm sure you could bring the price of these down if you bought a lot.

(cheepest i have seen is £2.50)

I dare say that for a couple of quid extra, he'll actually place the cache for you as well. icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

OK - for just £20 I can offer the complete caching service.

 

I'll supply the Ammo Box, painted of course, add logbook, pencil, disposable camera, ziploc bags and an assortment of goodies.

 

I'll then hide the cache and post it on the site. I'll then go and find it for you, fill in the logbook, take my picture and take some suitable swap.

 

Just to add that final touch I'll trash the cache for no extra charge.

 

Where else can you get service like that icon_smile.gificon_smile.gificon_smile.gificon_smile.gif

Wow, that's fantastic! From your user name I thought it was just some sort of internet escort or companion service. How much is that in Euros?

Just to let you know we now have a selection of geocaching.com merchandise in stock. Just visit the site and select the On-Line store option on the menu. Geocaching.com will be featuring us on there list of partners on there Groundspeak store in the near future. This will be my last post on the subject in these forums.
